The Pace Stick is used to measure the correct length of pace, while walking the pace stick, the RSM checks to ensure that wherever the leg falls, there is a man / woman to match. You never want to be in the wrong place when the leg of the RSM’s pace stick falls to the floor. Rhythm and uniformity in marching is achieved by using the Pace Stick as well as the drum and metronome. Correct pace length is necessary not only for ceremonial purposes, but also to reduce fatigue on long marches and set the standard of accuracy required of soldiers.
