ARTEP 7-8-Drill – 2002 – BIG size

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.

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