What is the only command given from 'Inspection Arms'?

• A. Ready, Arms
• B. Port, Arms
• C. Arms, Ready, Port
• D. Ready, Port, Arms

Answer: (D)

In drill, Inspection Arms is a preparatory command that sets the rifle up for an inspection with a single, smooth transition rather than multiple steps. The standard next cue from that position is Ready, Port, Arms, which moves the rifle into the left-facing arms position in one concise movement. This keeps the posture uniform and efficient for inspection.

Port means to the left, so you’re guiding the rifle to the left side as part of the movement, and Arms locks it in the proper position for the examiner. The other options would change the posture or require additional, separate commands beyond what Inspection Arms calls for, which is why they aren’t used in this context.
