PREFACE
The goal of training is to produce a combat-ready unit that responds rapidly to known or suspected enemy 
activity and defeats the enemy. Battle drill training is a key factor in achieving that goal.

This manual provides a set of core battle drills for the infantry rifle platoon and squad, active and reserve 
component. It describes a training method for small units. This method requires training individual tasks, 
leader tasks, and collective tasks before the conduct of critical wartime missions.

The actions and standards for the drills in this manual reflect general tactical principles that allow changes 
based on conditions during execution. Leaders should tailor training to realistic, challenging, and attainable 
goals, increasing the difficulty of conditions as the unit becomes more proficient.

The reduced time-distance aspects of battle drills make them excellent opportunities for training during the 
short periods that develop throughout the day.

The proponent for this publication is the US Army Infantry School. Submit recommendations for improving this 
publication on DA Form 2028 (Recommended changes to Publications and Blank Forms) or in any clearly
