What is the cadence for marching at Quick Time?

The cadence for marching at Quick Time is set at 120 steps per minute. This pace is standard in military drill and ensures that units move consistently and efficiently. Marching at this speed allows cadets to maintain a purposeful stride without excessive fatigue, enabling effective movement during formations and parades. The ability to synchronize movements at this cadence also promotes unit cohesion and discipline within the ranks, which are key principles emphasized in NJROTC training. Understanding the specific cadence for different marching tempos helps cadets develop their skills in drill and ceremony, solidifying their overall competence as members of the program.
