This is just a general indication , to make a turn around.In essence , you also need to specify , what type of turn it should be.

As far as I know , Hugo is not in the army.I thought that you were.
If so , then you will know , that they give other commands , to make a turn.

Left or right or a full 180 degrees.Unless it works different in the British army (but I did not work there).
Having said that , I have seen guys , who did not understand these commands correctly and some or more times , were making the turn in the wrong direction ..
