CHAPTER III
SCHOOL OF THE SOLDIER
Based on the Infantry Drill Regulations

Success in battle is the ultimate object of all military training; hence
the excellence of an organization is judged by its field efficiency.
Your instruction will be progressive in character, and will have as its
ultimate purpose the creation of a company measuring up to a high
standard of field efficiency.
The Preparatory Command, such as Forward, indicates the movement that is
to be executed.
The Command of Execution, such as MARCH, HALT, or ARMS, commences the
execution of the movement.
Preparatory Commands are distinguished by bold face, those of execution
by capitals. As, 1. Forward, 2. MARCH.
The average man understands better and learns faster when you show him
how a thing is done.
