'''Forward March! (TV Show)'''

Forward March! is an American military-themed television talk show that bridges the information gap between the public and the U.S. military by showcasing the exploits and activities of military units around the world and their organizational capabilities. '''Forward March! is aired weekly on television channel NBC UTV Channel 44 in Mobile, AL. It premiered in the Gulf Coast of Florida on May 20, 2014. Filmed in Pensacola, FL, it is a production of Responsible Media Arts, Inc.'''

Topics on the show range from military snipers as a force multiplier, the future of the military, and military working dogs in combat - to submarines, combat medicine, drones, and military history. Featured segments on the show each week include "On This Day In History", "Deployment Shout Out" and "Opinion". The co-hosts for the show are retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Al Gilley and retired U.S. Air Force David G. Landfair. Both military and civilian guests are invited on air each week to discuss topics that viewers will find informative and hard-hitting. The title of the show was inspired by the United States military command "forward march" for orderly synchronized marching as a unified force learned by every new recruit during basic training. '''Foot drill or close-order drill remains today the most important aspect of basic military education and training. It is the first learned cooperative skill that seeds feelings of honor and pride in one's unit. It is the basic skill that makes every serviceman or woman a team player. It is the skill that gives every soldier an understanding of the value of a unified and goal directed unit. It is a skill that stays with each soldier for the rest of their life and one they will always remember.'''
