'Rest' can be executed from the position of attention? True or false.

The main idea tested is whether you can move from the position of attention into a rest posture without stepping. The statement is true because, in drill, the command Rest is specifically used to lower tension and relax your stance while keeping your alignment and front facing forward. You respond by stopping in place and adopting the standard rest posture (often with hands placed behind the back) without moving your feet, so you’re ready for whatever command comes next. This transition isn’t limited to demonstrations; it’s a routine, practiced movement you perform during regular drill.
