Which line appears in the Army Song's refrain?

• A. The Army's on its way.
• B. Proud of all we have done,
• C. March along, sing our song, with the Army of the free.
• D. Count off the cadence loud and strong;

Answer: (A)

Refrains are the repeating, most recognizable part of a song that captures its main message. In the Army Song, the line that repeats to signal movement and purpose is “The Army’s on its way.” That short, punchy line is designed to be memorable and to emphasize that the Army is coming forward with strength and readiness, which is why it sits in the refrain.

The other lines fit into the song’s verses or describe qualities and actions in a broader sense, but they aren’t the repeated chorus that you’d hear as the song’s refrain.
