I too was puzzled at the officer being the first. Sandhurst, the UK Army's officer training academy, with a year long course, has always attracted officer trainees from a number of Commenwealth and other allied nations (mainly Arab and Pakistan). Non-UK trainees make up a small minority, somewhere I have a passing out list in 2008 and could give the figures. Secondly there are Commenwealth staff instructors, civilian and military; I do not think any Americans feature there either.

I believe there is an American instructor there; I know there is a British instructor at West Point.

There's always 1 US platoon commander instructor at Sandhurst.
As we read, absorb and enjoy FM 3-24, hopefully you will fully embrace and revel in the beauty and majesty of correctly performed foot drill, without singing.

a.) I would hope that the UK sees no need to read FM3-24. 99% of what we try to copy from the US comes badly un-stuck.
b.) Now see drill done properly... albeit a bit slow for my taste. In my day we were quicker.

Infinity Journal "I don't care if this works in practice. I want to see it work in theory!"
- The job of the British Army out here is to kill or capture Communist Terrorists in Malaya.
- If we can double the ratio of kills per contact, we will soon put an end to the shooting in Malaya.

Magnificent!
Of course, if you set off on time, you wouldn't need to run....
