Many thanks for your replies yesterday --- you guys have been very helpful.
I've made a list of commands for the directors; if you want to, could you look over them and check for mistakes/inconsistencies? I'm going to try my best to get them to do this scene as accurately as possible. (Although the directors have the final say, natch.)
Fall . . . IN!
Platoon forms a rectangle/line/file
Stands to 'At ease'
Dress right . . . DRESS
Turn head 45 degrees right
Extend left arm sideways, horizontal
Shuffle right until neighbour's fingertips are just touching your shoulder.
Recover to Attention position with
Ready . . . FRONT!
At close interval dress right . . . DRESS
(Tighter formation)
Turn head 45 degrees right
Put left hand on hip, elbow out
Shuffle right until neighbour's elbow is just touching your arm.
Recover to Attention position with
Ready . . . FRONT!

Salute, with fingertips at right eyebrow

If armed, give rifle salute instead.
