Proponent Lesson Plan Approvals NAME Gregory Christensen RANK LTC POSITION Chief PDB, TDD DATE 22 April 1997 SECTION II. INTRODUCTION Method of Instruction: Conference (CO)/Demonstration(DM)/Practical Exercise (PE). Instructor to student ratio is 1: 16 Time of instruction is 5.75 hours. Media: Viewgraph Transparencies Motivator Military history reveals that armies have used drills to prepare for battle. Drill procedures practiced on the parade field were identical to the tactical maneuvers used on the battlefield so that commanders could quickly move their forces from one point to another point, mass their forces, and maneuver them as the situation(s) developed. Modern technology eliminated the need for precision drills on the battlefield. Although the drill procedures taught today are not normally used on the battlefield, the same objective accomplished by drill attention to detail, esprit de corps, and discipline) are just as important today as they were in the past Terminal Learning Objective At the completion of this lesson you [the student] will: NOTE: Inform the students of the following terminal learning objective requirements. Action: Conditions: Standard: Conduct Drill and Ceremonies Given personnel (squad and platoon size) equipped with M16A1/M16A2 rifles, and an area large enough on suitable terrain (flat) for conducting; individual movements, marching movements, inspections, ceremonies, and reviews. Give appropriate commands for personnel to execute individual movements, form formations, and march in unison. Correct personnel on improper execution or reaction to your commands. Inspect personnel and equipment for deficiencies. Correct as necessary. Safety Instructors act as safety observers during the conduct of all training. Maneuver area 5

6 Requirements should be generally flat and free from debris. Ensure students are observing safe practices at all times. When conducting outdoor instruction, ensure the students hydrate frequently. Risk Assessment Level Low. Produced locally IAW installation and unit SOP s Environmental Considerations Environmental protection is a continual process. Instructors and students must always be alert to ways to improve how we protect the environment and reduce waste. Specific environmental considerations vary from installation to installation. Instructors and students need to familiarize themselves with local directive governing the environment in which training occurs. Evaluation Students must be able to demonstrate proficiency of knowledge as specified in the practical exercise in Appendix B. Instructors will validate the student s ability to perform in according the practical exercise checklist. Instructional Lead-In The purpose of drill is to: Enable a commander to move his unit from one place to another in an orderly manner. Aid in disciplinary training by instilling habits of precision and response to the leader s orders. Provide a means, through ceremonies, of enhancing the morale of troops, developing the spirit of cohesion, and presenting traditional, interesting and well-executed military parades. Provide for the development of all soldiers in the practice of commanding troops. SECTION III. PRESENTATION A. ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE A NOTE: Inform students of the enabling learning objective requirements. Action: Learn the different types of drill commands and use of the command voice. Conditions: Given students and either an open or closed classroom environment. Standard: Performance must be in accordance with FM Learning Step/Activity 1: Different types of commands Method of Instruction: CO/DM 6

7 Instructor to student ratio 1: 16 Time of Instruction: 15 minutes Media: None. Explain the different types of commands and applications in accordance with FM 22-5, Chapter 2, Section I. Use the three teaching stages to teach each of the following: Two-Part Commands (1) Most drill commands have two parts: the preparatory command and the command of execution. Neither part is a command by itself, but the parts are termed commands to simplify instruction. The commands READY, PORT, ARMS, and READY, AIM, FIRE, are considered to be two-part commands even thought they contain two preparatory commands. (a) The preparatory command states the movement to be carried out and mentally prepares the soldier for its execution. In the command FORWARD. MARCH, the preparatory command is FORWARD. (b) The command of execution tells when the movement is to be carried out. In FORWARD, MARCH, the command of execution is MARCH. (2) To change direction of unit when marching, the preparatory command and command of execution for each movement are given so they begin and end on the foot in the direction of the turn: RIGHT FLANK, MARCH, is given as the right foot strikes the marching surface, and LEFT FLANK, MARCH as the left foot strikes the marching surface. The interval between the preparatory command and the command of execution is normally one step or count. Combined Commands. In some commands, the preparatory command and the command of execution are combined; for example, FALL IN, AT EASE, and REST. These command are given without inflection and at a uniformly high pitch and loudness comparable to that for a normal command of execution. Supplementary Commands. Supplementary commands are oral orders given by a subordinate leader that reinforce and compliment a commander s order. They ensure proper understanding and execution of a movement. They extend to the lowest subordinate leader exercising control over an element affected by the command as a separate element within the same formation. NOTE: Conduct a check on learning and summarize the learning activity. 2. Learning Step/Activity 2: Command voice Method of Instruction: CO/DM Instructor to student ratio 1: 16 Time of Instruction: 15 minutes Media: None. Explain and demonstrate the use of a command voice in accordance to FM 22-5, Chapter 2, Section II. 7

8 Inflection is the rise and fall in pitch and the tone changes of the voice. a. The preparatory command is the command that indicates movement. Pronounce each preparatory command with a rising inflection. The most desirable pitch, when beginning a preparatory command, is near the level of the natural speaking voice. A common fault with beginners is to start the preparatory command in a pitch so high that, after employing a rising inflection of the preparatory command, it is impossible to give the command of execution with clarity or without strain. A good rule to remember is to begin a command near the natural pitch of the voice. b. The command of execution is the command that indicates when a movement is to be executed. Give it in sharper tone and in a slightly higher pitch than the last syllable of the preparatory command. It must be given with plenty of snap. The best way to develop a command voice is to practice. c. In combined commands, such as FALL IN and FALL OUT, the preparatory command and command of execution are combined. Give these commands without inflection and with the uniform high pitch and loudness of a normal command of execution. d. Cadence, in command, means a uniform and rhythmical flow of words. The interval between commands is uniform in length for any given troop unit. This is necessary so that everyone in the unit will be able to understand the preparatory command and will know when to expect the command of execution. For the squad or platoon in march, except when supplementary commands need to be given, the interval of time is that which allows one step (or count) between the preparatory command and the command of execution. The same interval is used for commands given at the halt. Longer command, such a RIGHT FLANK, MARCH, must be started so that the preparatory command will end on the proper foot, and leave a full count between the preparatory command and command of execution. e. When supplementary command are necessary, the commander should allow for one count between the preparatory command and the subordinate leader s supplementary command, and an additional count after the subordinates command but before the command of execution. NOTE: Conduct demonstration of the different types of commands. NOTE: Conduct a check on learning and summarize both the learning activity and the enabling learning objective. _ 8

9 B. ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE B NOTE: Inform students of the enabling learning objective requirements. Action: Conditions: Standard: Learn the steps in drill of the individual solder, to include stationary and marching movements. Given students who have received instruction in drill commands and an open area large enough to conduct individual stationery and marching movements. Learn the steps in marching and marching movements in compliance with FM 22-5, Chapter 3, Section II. 1. Learning Step/Activity 1: Individual stationary movements Method of Instruction: CO/DM/PE Instructor to student ratio 1: 16 Time of Instruction: 15 minutes Media: None. a. Execute stationary movements of individual drill in strict compliance with FM 22-5, Chapter 3, Section I. During this period, students will learn and practice the position of attention, rest positions at the halt, facing movements at the halt, and the hand salute. Developmental Information: Select the appropriate method to teach each movement: talkthrough, by-the-numbers, or step-by-step. (1) The talk-through method of drill and ceremonies instruction consists of the explanation and demonstration being combined. Each movement or action by the individual is executed as it is orally described. The instructor simply tells the demonstrator how and what he wants him to do. The demonstrator executes the movement as the instructor describes it. Then the instructor has the demonstrator execute the movement at normal cadence. (2) The by-the-numbers method of instruction combines explanation and demonstration. Movements are explained one count at a time. The instructor has the demonstrator execute the movement by the numbers (one count at a time). The instructor then has the demonstrator execute the movement at normal cadence. (3) The step-by-step method of instruction also combines explanation and demonstration. The movements are taught one step at a time using the step-by-step method of instruction. The instructor explains that on the command of execution, the demonstrator takes only one step and then stops in position until the command READY, STEP (for the next step) is given. While the demonstrator is stopped in position, the instructor makes on-the-spot corrections and explains the actions to be taken on the next step. The instructor then has the demonstrator execute the movement at the normal cadence. 9

10 Use the three teaching stages to teach position of attention, rest positions at the halt, facing movements at the halt, and the hand salute. NOTE: Conduct a check on learning and summarize the learning activity 2. Learning Step/Activity 2: Individual marching movements Method of Instruction: CO/DM/PE Instructor to student ratio 1: 16 Time of Instruction: 15 minutes Media: None. b. Learn the steps in marching and marching movements of the individual soldier according with FM 22-5, Chapter 3, Section II. Use the three teaching stages to teach each of the following: (1) The 30-inch step. (2) Change step. (3) At-ease march. (4) The 15-inch step, forward/half step. (5) Marching in place (mark time). (6) The 15-inch step, right/left. (7) The 30-inch step, double time. (8) Facing in marching. (a) All marching movements except for route step and at ease, march are executed while marching at attention. foot. (b) All marching movements from the halt except for right step will begin with the left (c) For short movements the number of steps may be designated; i.e., TWO STEPS BACKWARD (FORWARD), MARCH. March with the 30-inch step a. To march with a 30-inch step from the halt, the command FORWARD, MARCH is given. On the preparatory command of FORWARD, shift your weight to the right leg without noticeable movement. On the command MARCH, step forward with your left foot and continue to march with a 30-inch step while keeping your head and eyes to the front. Without exaggeration, let your arms swing in a natural motion without bending at the elbow. The swing should be about 9 inches straight to the front and 6 inches straight to the rear. The seam of your trousers would be the center point. b. To halt wile marching the command of SQUAD (GROUP/SECTION), HALT, is given as either foot hits the ground. The movement is executed in two counts. On the command of execution (HALT) take one more step and then bring your trailing foot along side your leading foot resuming the position of attention. Change Step 10

11 a. To change step while marching the command CHANGE STEP, MARCH, is given as the right foot hits the ground. On the command of execution (MARCH) take one more step with your left foot, then in one count place your right toe near the heel of your left foot and step off again with your left foot. b. This movement is executed automatically when you find yourself out-of-step with other members of a marching formation. Rest Movements a. At Ease, March - The command AT EASE, MARCH, is given as wither foot hits the ground. On the command of execution (MARCH), your are no longer required to maintain cadence; however, silence and the approximate interval and distance are maintained. QUICK TIME and ROUTE STEP, MARCH are the only commands that can be given while marching At Ease. b. Route Step, March - Route Step is executed exactly the same as At Ease, March, except you may talk (quietly). NOTE: To change direction at route step/at ease march the leader normally directs the lead element to turn in the desired direction. The command QUICK TIME, MARCH, is used to get the soldiers back to marching at attention. Half Step a. To change the step from a 30-inch to a 15-inch the command HALT STEP, MARCH, is given as either foot hits the ground. On the command of execution (MARCH) take one more 30-inch step and then begin marching with a 15-inch step. The arms swing normally as if you were marching with a 30-inch step. b. To resume marching at a 30-inch step the command of FORWARD, MARCH, is given as either foot hits the ground. On the command of execution (MARCH)take one more 15- inch step and begin marching with a 30-inch step. c. The halt is executed the same as in a 30-inch step. NOTE: While marching at half step, the commands of mark time, forward, and extend march, as well as halt are the only commands that may be given. Mark Time a. To march in place the command of MARK TIME, MARCH, is given as either foot hit the ground. On the command of execution (MARCH) take one more step and then bring the trailing foot along side the leading foot marching in place. Raise each foot at least 2 inches of the ground while swinging your arms naturally. (The higher the feet are raised the easier it is to maintain cadence.) b. To resume marching, the command FORWARD, MARCH, is given as either foot hits the ground. On the command of execution (MARCH), take one more step in place and then step off with a full step. c. The command for halt is the same as for a 30-inch step. 11

12 NOTE: Right/Left Step March a. Marching in step movements to the right or left is done at a 15-inch step. also, the command is only given from the halt. b. When the command of RIGHT/LEFT STEP, MARCH, is given, bend the knee opposite the direction o movement slightly and raise the other leg just enough to allow freedom of movement. Place the raised foot 15 inches to the side, then move the other foot to the side of the first while maintaining the position of attention. Continue the movement while keeping the arms down by your side. c. To halt while marching left or right the command of SQUAD (GROUP), HALT, is given. The preparatory command (SQUAD/GROUP) is given the next time the heels come together. On the command of execution, take one more half step with the lead foot, then bring the trailing foot along side the leading foot stopping at the position of attention. Double Time a. Double Time is marching with a 30-inch step at a cadence of 180 steps per minute. The command is DOUBLE TIME, MARCH. When the command of execution (MARCH) is given, raise your fore arms to the horizontal position, with your fingers and thumbs closed, knuckles out. Simultaneously begin marching at a cadence of double time. Let your arms swing naturally to the front and rear, while keeping the forearms horizontal. b. To halt, the command of SQUAD (GROUP), HALT, is given as either foot hits the ground. On the command of execution (HALT), take two more 30-inch steps at double time while lowering your hand is down to your side, then one more step at quick time, and bring the training foot up alongside the leading foot, coming to a halt in the position of attention. Face in Marching a. Facings in marching from halt are important parts of the following movements: Alignments, column movements, inspecting soldiers in ranks, and changing from normal interval to double internal or double interval to normal interval. For instructional purposes only, the command FACE to the right (left) in marching, MARCH, pivot to the right (left) on the ball of the right foot (90 degrees) and step off in the indicated direction with the left foot. Execute the pivot and step in one count, and continue marching in the new direction. b. Facing to the half-right (half-left) in marching from the halt is executed in the same manner as facing to the right (left) in marching from a halt, except the facing movement is made at a 45-degree angel to the right (left). c. The halt from facing in marching is executed in two counts, the same as the halt from the 30-inch step. Conduct a check on learning and summarize both the learning activity and the enabling learning objective. 12

13 C. ENABLING LEARNING OBJECTIVE C NOTE: Inform students of the enabling learning objective requirements Action: Learn the execution and movements of the different types of drill formations. Conditions: Given students who have received individual instruction in Drill and Ceremony. Standard: Conduct instruction of drill formations in compliance with FM 22-5, Chapter Learning Step/Activity 1: Drill Formations Method of Instruction: CO Instructor to student ratio 1: 16 Time of Instruction: 1 hour Media: Viewgraph Transparencies 01 to 13. The basic formation that a soldier should learn is the squad formation. Once the execution and movements of this formation are mastered, this knowledge is built upon in order to conduct company drill. The same applies in the mastering of company drill in order to conduct battalion and brigade formations. Squad and platoon drill will be specifically delineated by formation and movements in this Training Support Package, whereas the instructor will be asked to reference FM 22-5 for company, battalion and brigade drill. The conduct on the latter drills will be dependent on the space and personnel available and the school s need for conducting such drills. SQUAD DRILL Read Chapter 5 Section I of FM 22-5 Forming the Squad (VGT 1) To form at normal interval, the squad leader comes to the position of attention and commands, FALL IN. On the command, FALL IN, the following actions occur simultaneously: a. Each member double times to his position in the formation. b. The right flank man positions himself so that when the squad is formed it is three steps in front of and centered on the squad leader. c. The right flank man comes to the position of attention and raises his left arm laterally at shoulder level, elbow locked, fingers and thumb extended and joined, and palm facing down. He ensures that the left arm is in line with the body. d. The man to the immediate left of the right flank man comes to the position of attention, turns his head and eyes to the right, and raises his left arm in the same manner as the right flank man. He obtains proper alignment by taking short steps forward or backward until he is on line with the right flank man. He then obtains exact interval by taking short steps left or right until his shoulder touches the extended fingertips of the right flank man. As soon as the man to the left has obtained normal interval, each man individually lowers his arm to his side, sharply turns his head and eyes to the front and assumes the position of attention. 13

14 e. The right flank man then sharply returns to the position of attention. f. All other members of the squad form in the same manner except that the left flank man does not raise his left arm. g. To form at close interval the Forman is completed in the same manner as describe above except at the command of AT CLOSE INTERVAL, FALL IN, squad members obtain their interval by placing the heel of the left hand on their hip even with the top of their belt line, fingers and thumb joined and extended downward, with the elbow in line with the body and touching the arm of the soldier to the left. Count Off a. The squad may count off in a line or column formation. The command is COUNT, OFF. b. When in line formation, the counting is executed from right to left. On the command of execution (OFF), each soldier (except the number one soldier) turns his head and eyes to the right and the right flank soldier sounds off with the number ONE. After the soldier to the right counts off his number, the soldier to his loft sounds off with the next number in sequence and simultaneously turns his head and eyes to the front. The sequence is continued with the next soldier to his left until the last soldier in line has sounded off with his number. c. When in a column formation, the counting is executed from front to rear. The commend is the same as for a line formation. On the command of execution (OFF), the first soldier turns his head and eyes to the right and sounds off (over his shoulder) with ONE. After he sounds off, he immediately returns to the position of attention. All other members of the squad count their numbers in sequence following the same procedures as the first except for the last soldier. The last soldier keep his heads and eyes to the front and sounds off with the next number. Change Interval while in Line a. To obtain close interval from normal interval the command is CLOSE INTERVAL, MARCH. On the command of execution (MARCH), the right flank soldier (number one) stands fast, all soldiers to the left of the right flank soldier execute right step march and take one step less than their number and halt. b. To obtain normal interval from close interval the command is NORMAL INTERVAL, MARCH. On the command of execution (MARCH), the right flank soldier (number one) stand fast, all soldiers to the left of the right flank soldier execute-left step march and take one step less than their number and halt. c. To Obtain double interval from normal interval the command is DOUBLE INTERVAL, MARCH. On the command of execution (MARCH), the right flank Soldier (number one) stands fast, all soldiers to the loft of the right flank Soldier face to the left as in marching and take on- 30-inch step 1-88 than their number and execute right face. d. To obtain normal interval from double interval the command is NORMAL INTERVAL, MARCH. On the command of execution (MARCH), the right flank soldier (number one) stands fast, all soldiers to the left of the right flank soldier face to the right as in marching and take one 30-inch step less than their number, halts, and executes a left face. 14

15 Align the Squad (VGT 2) a. To align the squad at normal interval the commands are DRESS right, DRESS and READY, FRONT. Those commands are only given when the soldiers are at order or sling arms. On the command of execution (DRESS), each soldier (except the right flank soldier) turns his head and eyes to the right while at the same time extends his left hand (left flank soldier will not raise his hand) and aligns himself on the right flank soldier while positioning himself by short right or left steps until his right shoulder touches the fingertips of the soldier to his right. On the second command of execution (FRONT), each soldier smartly lowers his hand to his side while turning his head and eyes to the front and resumes the position of attention. b. To align the squad at close interval the commands are AT CLOSE INTERVAL DRESS RIGHT, DRESS and READY, FRONT. The movements are the same as above, except the squad member obtains close interval (VGT 3). c. To align the squad at double interval the commands are AT DOUBLE INTERVAL DRESS RIGHT, DRESS and READY, FRONT. The movements are the same as normal interval, except the both arms are extended and fingertip are touching. This command is only given when soldiers are unarmed or at sling arms. d. To align the squad in a column, the command is COVER. On this command each soldier except the number one soldier raises his arm to the horizontal position, fingers extended an joined, palm down, and obtains an arm s length plus approximately six inches from the finger tips to the back of the soldier to his front. At the same time each soldier aligns himself directly behind the soldier to his front. To resume the position of attention the command RECOVER is given. On this command, each soldier lowers his arm smartly back to his side. Marching the Squad a. For short distances the squad may be forward while in line formation. When marching long distances, the squad is marched in a column. b. When the column formation is originated from a line (executed a right face) formation the column is at close interval. The squad may be marched for short distances at half step with less than the correct distance. To obtain the correct distance while marching the command is EXTEND, MARCH. On the command of execution, the number one soldier takes one more 15-inch step and then steps off with a 30-inch stop. All other members begin marching at a 30-inch step at approximately the same point as the number one soldier or as soon as the correct distance has been obtained from the soldier to his front. Change Direction of a Column a. From the halt, the command to place the squad in motion and simultaneously change direction of march 45 or 90 degrees is COLUMN RIGHT (LEFT), MARCH, or COLUMN HALF RIGHT (LEFT), MARCH. On the command of execution (MARCH), the lead soldier faces to the right/left or half right/left in marching and continues to march in the direction specified. All other soldiers march forward and pivot to the right/left on the ball of the lead foot and step off in the new direction with the trailing foot. As the soldiers approach the pivot point, they shorten or lengthen their pivot step as necessary 80 as to turn at the approximate same point as the 15

16 lead soldier. b. To change direction of march 45 or 90 degrees when marching, the preparatory command of COLUMN RIGHT (LEFT), or COLUMN HALF RIGHT (LEFT) is given as the foot in the desired direction strikes the ground and the command of execution, MARCH is given the next time the foot in the desired direction strikes the ground. On the command of execution (MARCH), the lead soldier takes one addition step and turns in the desired direction as the pivot foot strikes the ground. Other soldiers continue to march and pivot as prescribed from the halt. c. To march in the opposite direction, the command is REAR, MARCH. The preparatory command is given as the right foot strikes the ground. The command of execution (MARCH) is given the next time the right foot strikes the ground. On the command of execution, ALL soldiers take one more step with their left foot, pivot on the ball of both feet, turning 180 degrees to the right, and step off in the new direction. Do not allow the arms to swing outward while turning. d. To change direction of march of a column less than 45 degrees, the squad leader directs INCLINE TO THE RIGHT (LEFT). The lead soldier changes direction and continues to march in the new direction. All other soldiers continue to march forward and turn at the same point as the lead soldier. To avoid an obstacle in the path of march, the squad leader directs INCLINE AROUND. The lead soldier inclines around the obstacle and reestablishes the original direction. All other soldiers follow the lead soldier. March to the Flank a. The squad may be marched to the flank when marching in a column for short distances only. b. The command for this movement is RIGHT/LEFT FLANK, MARCH. The preparatory command is given as the foot in the desired direction strikes the ground and the command of execution (MARCH) is given the next time the foot of the desired direction strikes the ground. On the command of execution, ALL soldiers take one more step, turn in the commanded direction on the ball of the lead foot opposite the direction of march, and step off in the new direction with the trailing foot. As the soldiers begin to March in the new direction, they glance out of the corner of the eye and dress to the right. Form a Column of Twos and Re-form a. Forming a column of twos from a file is executed only from the halt. The command is COLUMN OF TWOS TO THE RIGHT (LEFT), MARCH. On the preparatory command, the lead soldier (team leader) commands STAND FAST. The trailing team leader commands COLUMN HALF RIGHT (LEFT). On the command of execution (MARCH), the trailing team leader executes a column half right/left and inclines to the right/left when the correct interval is obtained and commands, TEAM, HALT, so as to halt abreast of the lead team. b. Forming a file from a column of twos executed only from the halt. The command is FILE FROM THE RIGHT (LEFT), MARCH. On the preparatory command, the team leader commands FORWARD. The trailing team leader commands STAND FAST. On the command of execution (MARCH), the lead team marches forward. The trailing team leader then commands COLUMN HALF LEFT/RIGHT, MARCH, and inclines to the right/left to follow the load team at the correct distance. 16

17 Rest the Squad a. The squad members execute the rest position in formation in the same manner as describe in the individual command of rest. b. The command for rest is REST. c. When the situation warrants a greater degree of relaxation than the rest position, the squad leader may command FALL OUT. Squad members may leave their positions in formation, but remain in the immediate area. Dismissing the Squad a. The squad is dismissed only from a line formation with soldiers at attention. b. Leaders should ensure that squad members are given information as to what is expected of them once they are dismissed. (1) With unarmed soldiers, the command is DISMISSED. (2) With armed soldiers the commands are: INSPECTION ARMS, PORT ARMS, READY, PORT, ARMS; DISMISSED. PLATOON DRILL Read Chapter 6 of FM 22-5 Forming the Platoon (VGT 4) a. The platoon normally forms in a line formation; however, it may reform in a column where each soldier can independently identify his exact position (equipment grounded) in the formation. b. The platoon forms basically the same as a squad. The platoon sergeant assumes the position of attention and commands FALL IN (AT CLOSE INTERVAL, FALL IN, or IN COLUMN, FALL IN). On the command, FALL IN (AT CLOSE INTERVAL, FALL IN), the squad leader of the first squad double times to his post so that the first Squad (when formed) will be three steps and centered on the platoon sergeant. Other squad leaders cover on the first squad leader at correct distance, which is obtained by estimation. The members of the first squad fall in on their squad leader as prescribed for squad drill. Members of the other squads fall in on their squad leader, assumes the position of attention and turn their head and eyes to the right. They obtain correct distance by taking short steps forward or backward and align themselves on the man to their right.

COMPANY DRILL Read Chapter 7, Section I of FM 22-5 Individual drill movements, manual of arms, and squad and platoon drills are executed (as previously described) while conducting company drill. For the most part, company drill provides the procedures or executing platoon drill in conjunction with other platoons in the same formation. The company has four prescribed formations: 1. Company in line with platoons in line (VGT 6). 2. Company in column with platoons in column (VGT 7). 3. Company in column with platoons in line (VGT 8). 4. Company mass formation (VGT 9). BATTALION AND BRIGADE FORMATIONS Read Chapter 8 of FM 22-5 a. For the most part, battalion and brigade drill merely provides the procedures for executing company or battalion drill in conjunction with other companies or battalions in the same formation. b. For drill purposes, a battalion or brigade consists of a headquarters (staff), Colors, and two or more companies or battalions. The right flank unit serves as base when in a line formation; the leading element is the base when in column. c. To facilitate the forming of a larger unit, the commander normally alerts the component units as to the desired formation, time, place, route, uniform, and the sequence in which the units will form. Unless the right guide s position at the formation site has been previously marked, the guides report to the site and receive instructions prior to the arrival of the troops. d. The commissioned staff forms in one rank, at normal interval and centered on the commander. Staff members are normally arranged in their numerical order from right to left. When enlisted staff personnel form as part of the officer staff, they form two steps to the rear of their respective staff officer. The command sergeant major forms one step to the rear of the commissioned staff and centered on the commander, or one step to the rear and centered on the Colors when they are carried to the rear (battalion mass) of the staff. Battalion Formation a. The battalion has two basic formations - a line and a column. There are several variations as to how the separate elements are arranged within either formation: the battalion may be formed in line with the companies in line with platoons in line, or battalion in line with companies in column with platoons in line (VGT 10). From those formation, the battalion may be positioned in a battalion in column with companies in column, or 22
