The Drill Sergeant Candidate Handbook is primarily written for Drill Sergeant Candidates, however it should also serve as a quick reference for other U.S. military units. It covers physical readiness training, drill and ceremonies, warrior tasks, rifle marksmanship, combatives, rifle fighting techniques, and tactics.
This handbook provides Drill Sergeants with the references, knowledge, and operational requirements to be a successful Drill Sergeant in any basic combat training or one station unit training environment.
The proponent for this publication is the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training. The preparing agency is the United States Army Drill Sergeant Academy.

This book is a “Mini” (half the size of a piece of paper).
A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading. The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.
The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.
(A BIG size version (8 1/2 inch by 11 inch, the same size as a regular sheet of paper) is on this website too)
