The Roman author, Vegetius described Roman marching in De Re Militari, which is the only surviving book on the the military of the Roman Empire. He referred to two steps, which he called the "common step" and the "long step." The common step was at about four miles per summer hour, and the long step was at about five.

What were the marching protocols for US Civil War armies?

The high ranking generals on both sides of the US Civil War were all West Point graduates and this caused both armies to practice the same maneuvers during the war. One example of this was how soldiers marched. When not under stress from the enemy, troops marched at 90 steps per minute. On good roads this could be increased to 110 steps per minute. If required, and in battle field situations, men could go to double quick marching time. But, this was only possible for 15 minutes. The pace was then slowed until the rest period could be increased again to double quick time marching. This method of marching was used by both sides, however, after a distance of 2 miles, troops had to abandon the accelerated pace for a longer period of time, based on various circumstances.
