I think if they were MIA (missing in action) then he would whip them. If it was something like they didn't have their uniform on right then then would have to squat with a stick going under both the knees... they might have to do that for hours- its kind of half punishment but they mostly did it to humiliate them in front of others. A lot of the regiments did that.
