History of Cadences Dating back to the Revolutionary War, the Army cadence has been an important tradition that has withstood the test of time. Used to motivate, inspire and keep the Soldiers' steps in time, cadences foster a cohesive company while at the same time handing down the rich oral traditions of the U.S. Army. In addition, cadences help the Soldiers by controlling and strengthening their breathing during the strenuous marches and runs.
