Drill Training and Evaluation Guidebook for Light Motorized Platoons and Squads

Abstract

ARI designed the Drill Training Package in response to a CSofA policy directive in 1980 to standardize training for small units (such as the rifle squad) through programs which integrated individual and collective training. Working with the Army Training Board as project sponsor, ARI developed a small- unit training program featuring: squad and platoon drills to be executed in response to enemy threat or leader order; standardized training procedures and conditions; explicitly integrated individual (Soldier's Manual) and unit collective (ARTEP) training; enhanced realism and validity of tactical training through the use of the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES); step-by-step guides including task, conditions, standards and coaching points for use by the trainer in preparing for and executing the training in the field. The Drill Training and Evaluation Guidebook for Light Motorized Platoons and Squads is the pocket-sized guide for the leader/trainer to use in training and evaluating his troops in the field. The Guidebook helps the small unit leader plan his training, execute and evaluate the results of his training, and lead his troops in training and tactical operations. Specifically, the Guidebook includes aids for: Planning; Leaders; Training; and Evaluations.
