SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION TO DRILLS

INTRODUCTION "Why is drill needed?" 1. Teamwork An individual's effort does not bring survival or victory to the individual. The individual has to learn teamwork and the values of unified and co-operative action so thoroughly that they guide his later actions instinctively. Teamwork can be built on the Parade Square in any uniform group. In the Parade Square, all personnel learn that there can be no orderly movement of men or units without a precise and united effort, and that every man has to play his part. 2. Discipline Discipline is found in drills. NO one is born to do drills; one has to discipline himself / herself to practice drill. However, it must be noted that drills must never be used as a punishment but always as a means of raising standards within a body of men. QUALITIES OF AN INSTRUCTOR Drill is exacting. To teach successfully, you must possess the following qualities: a. Patience

Never lose your temper

b. Enthusiasm You must instil in yourself a will to learn

c. Consistency Set a standard for both yourself and the squad, and do not deviate from it

d. Humanity Understand the squad's problems. Praise readily but do not overdo it, never humiliate individual members of the squad.

e. Personality As a Drill Instructor, you must impress your squad with your personality and always control them fully.


Page 3 of 58

SEQUENCE OF COMMAND - WORDS OF COMMAND All words of command must be clear and forceful since the way in which they are given affects the reaction. A word of command is divided into 3 parts: a. Introductory

This tells the squad the movement they are about to carry out. E.g. "MOVE TO THE RIGHT IN THREE" "Bergerak ke-kanan bertiga -tiga ... "

b. Cautionary The drawn-out and loud reminder to the squad. E.g. "RIGHT" "Ke-kanan, Pu ... "

c. Executive The loud, sharp command. E.g. "TURN" "Sing!"

Timing of Words of Command The cautionary word of command should be consistently drawn out over about the equivalent of four paces in quick time. There should be a pause between it and the executive words of command of: a. At the Halt----------------------- the regulation pause. b. In Quick Time------------------ about four paces. c. In the Slow Time--------------- about three paces. Development of the Words of Command Instructors should be taught how to control a squad by the following two methods: Communication Drill 1. First demonstrate to the squad all the words of command at the halt including rifle

exercises. 2. Now "conduct" the squad while they give elementary words of command insisting on

clarity and power from each other. 3. Divide the squad into two ranks, place them 30m apart, with 5 paces interval

between each of them. 4. Each man should now drill his opposite number 30m away without regard to the men

to left or right of him. 5. After not more than ten minutes, change the ranks, so that the men in both ranks

have a chance of controlling their opposite number.


Page 4 of 58

Mutual Drill 1. Form the squad into three ranks and explain the introductory word of command and

the directing flank. 2. Call out each member of the squad in turn to drill the squad and call out another

member of the squad to watch and be prepared to comment on his performance. Note: a. Be patient and encouraging

b. When correcting, be sure that you address your remarks to the whole squad, since they can all learn from one man's mistakes.

METHOD OF INSTRUCTION There are five steps in Mal for drills. They are: -

a. Introduction

b. Formation of Squad

c. Explanation

d. Demonstration

e. Practice

A Drill Instructor must be aware of the proper methods of instruction for drills. However, this will only act as a guide. A good Drill Instructor must be able to develop his/her own effective style of instruction (SOl). A good Drill Instructor must also be able to command and time all drills sharply and accurately. Introduction First, introduce the command that you are going to teach. Formation of Squad To be effective in transferring knowledge of drill, the IC should bear in mind two factors in the formation of squad a. The comfort of the squad

Minimize the chance of them facing the sun; move them under the shade if necessary, etc.


Page 5 of 58

b. Deploy them in the formation in which they will learn fastest.

A guide to the formation: Straight --------------------------- Foot Drills Semi-circle ----------------------- Arms Drills (practice) Three ranks ---------------------- Open order Saluting at halt

Explanation Explain what you are about to teach and its importance. Demonstration Break into 3 components:

a. Complete demonstration, shouting out the words of command. b. Demonstration by number, pointing out important details. c. Another complete demonstration. Question & Answer Session After giving the first demonstration by numbers, ask the squad if they have questions and do so after successive demonstration. Ensure that the squad is standing "easy" (i.e. Senang Diri position) when posting questions to them. Practical Session After each demonstration by numbers, drill the squad in that movement checking their faults. Finally, after demonstrating the whole movement, drill the squad, judging the time. TIMING When a drill is first taught to a squad, the whole squad should be made to call out the timing loudly and clearly. This is for two reasons:

1. Every member has the timing for the drill fixed in their heads. 2. The squad learns to act together.


Page 6 of 58

Qualities of a good timer 1. CLARITY & VOLUME 2. CONSTANCY 3. SHARPNESS REGULATION PAUSE The regulation pause is a very important concept in drill. It refers to the short pause between two movements of drill, which is the equivalent of two marching paces in quick time. In this handbook, the regulation pause is denoted by "1-Check-1", where a drill action is done whenever "1" is called out. Timing of Marching Pace: It has been noticed that different NPCC units have different styles of timing marching pace. It is recommended that the timing for quick time is called out as "Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left" or "Left, ..... Left ... Left, Right, Left", where the paces are 120 times/minute. During parades, the timing for marching pace is usually given by the bass drum of the band. NOTE: Never drag the timing for marching.
