Parade Showcases Various Military Marching Styles from Different Countries

Every service member hates drill, but every service member will also judge the shit out of every other country's drill

Former British Army 🇬🇧. Even if the US forces didn't carry the stars and stripes, you could spot them by their strolling in the park march.....!!

0:35 Czech looks like a bunch of tourists.....so relaxed.

Half of these look like me trying to find my way to the bathroom at 2am

Most of the marching styles are categorized into Prussian style (kick the legs high) and British style (swing the arms high), so it is easy to recognize whether the country was affected by Soviet Union or the UK.

All countries: 🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻 American :🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️

AT 6:13, the army white dude with sunglasses in the center column 5th row. Wtf kinda marching is that. 😂😂

I always have liked the Chinese transition from walking march to goosestep. Along with the salute of the officer.

the usa and philippine soldiers seem to be the most chill lol

Back in the early 70's in USAF basic training, my training flight had a recruit who had served in the South African or some British Commonwealth military. He had the "muscle memory" to raise his knee too high, swing his arms, and to stomp his feet when marching. He drove the TI crazy.

I remember a company of Royal Welshmen marching onto a parade ground in the US during a training exchange. The Americans burst into a spontaneous round of applause, I don't think they had seen soldiers march properly before. 🤣🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧

Seems like most of Britain's former colonies took the march and just went nuts with the arm-swinging.

I’m not criticising the American style of parading, I hesitate to call it ‘marching’, more like orderly walking, some out of step. As the brat of a British soldier remembering countless parade ground marching it’s difficult when comparing style to not comment on variety. It’s interesting to note the styles of some African nations, perhaps commonwealth or ex commonwealth, are very formal just like the British military. It’s also interesting to note that the Royal Marines and the United States Marine Corps have a similar dedication to tight disciplined marching.

Former Retired US Army Band Drum Major here. I have participated in literally thousands of military parades over the 20 years I was in and I got to say the US contingents looked bad, especially the Army. I know they don't emphasize D&C anymore, especially while they are deployed on exercise but holy crap that was bad. One dude (reservist\Air Force?) looked like he was jumping on cockroaches, just doing his own thing. Uniforms looked like crap (except the Marines of course) buttons unbuttoned and caps crooked. Looks like the NCOs didn't even bother checking. However the Czech Special Warfare Sunglass platoon looked super cool. 😂😎

It’s interesting to see that all the former British Empire countries, plus Nepal, all march with similar drill to the British forces, arms swinging shoulder high, heads held high, and completely in step. 😊

All the country's marching styles are unique in their own way but the "Josh" (Energy) of the Indian Army soldiers is Unmatched! 💪🔥🔥

Some of military marches are really tough and rise the legs higher. It's also used more strength and it's stressful for the legs. Others looks cool and steady and still in uniformity

South Koreans and Philippines march like Americans if Americans practiced marching.

that one soldier stomping when no-one else was was driving me crazy 6:10

I like how you can see countries influences throughout history with their marching styles, and salute.
