Kneel is a versatile command which can be used at home or away and requires the House Boy to bend his legs and drop both knees to make contact with the floor or ground while keeping his arms in their previous position (usually at his side), though the Kneel Command may also be given as part of a Consecutive Or Combination Command (Rule #352) to Kneel while positioning his arms in a specifically articulated way such as behind his back or neck, raised above his head, or stretched out horizontal to the floor or ground in preparation for a subsequent activity like physical inspection, disciplinary intervention or restraint, or a subsequent command where the knees will remain in contact with the ground or floor.
