proceed + to-infinitive
用法筆記
Always followed by to + the bare infinitive. The clause before proceed describes an action that is fully finished; the infinitive after proceed names the new action that follows. This sense contrasts with sense 1 (CONTINUE AS PLANNED), where the same activity continues — here a different activity begins.

用法筆記
Typically used in formal or official contexts such as airport announcements, military commands, procession descriptions, and travel directions. A direction, destination, or route phrase normally follows. Distinguish from sense 1 (CONTINUE AS PLANNED) — sense 3 describes physical movement from one place to another, not the continuation of an activity.
