  1. Right ✔
  2. Center
  3. Rear only

Why: The guide's normal side stays consistent whether the flight is halted or marching, in line or column. Special inverted formations use different guide positions.

Huh, didn't know that: The command GUIDE LEFT swaps the guide and flight commander in column.

Why did the guide choose the right? It was the correct position.
