This video will provide the proper procedures used when performing an open ranks inspection in AFROTC. Music Credits: This Majestic Land - Michael Hoppe'
Does AFROTC use a different drill manual than AFMAN or AFPAM? Current AFPAM and the last two AFMANs (from when this was made) each explain open ranks different. The 4th rank stands fast, the 3rd rank takes one step forward, it never stands fast. Open Ranks. 4.5.1. The command is Open Ranks, MARCH. It is only given to a formation when in line at normal interval. On the command MARCH, the fourth rank stands fast and automatically executes dress right dress at normal interval. Each succeeding rank in front of the fourth rank takes the required numbered of paces, stepping off with the left foot and a coordinated arm swing, halts, and automatically executes dress right dress. The third rank takes one pace forward, the second rank takes two paces forward, and the first rank takes three paces forward. Once halted, the distance between ranks will be 64 inches.

Open Ranks.
4.5.1. The command is Open Ranks, MARCH. It is only given to a formation when in line
at normal interval. On the command MARCH, the fourth rank stands fast and automatically
executes dress right dress at normal interval. Each succeeding rank in front of the fourth rank
takes the required numbered of paces, stepping off with the left foot and a coordinated arm
swing, halts, and automatically executes dress right dress. The third rank takes one pace
forward, the second rank takes two paces forward, and the first rank takes three paces forward.
Once halted, the distance between ranks will be 64 inches.
AFROTC is taught with 3 elements in mind. The backmost element would stand fast, the 4th element in the AFMAN/AFPAM and the 3rd element here.
