Even those who have not served in the army have heard about army procedures. No one will be surprised by stories about how soldiers march all day long, clean the floors with a toothbrush, and sweep the parade ground with a crowbar. Most people believe that these procedures are absolutely worthless. Let's figure out why it's needed drill and is it worth using it in business?

What is drill training

Drill training is the repeated repetition of the same orders, bringing their execution to the point of automatism. Now we will not delve into the army specifics of drill training. It is important for us to know that the essence of combat drill is very simple - to teach a soldier to carry out orders automatically, that is.

Why is drill training needed?

In fact, drill training is not a Russian invention. Its history goes back to the distant past, to the times when large army formations began to be formed from forced people. Ancient military leaders very quickly realized that it was possible to achieve effectiveness from people forced to fight against their will only through iron discipline. A soldier should not think, he should follow orders. And there should be no compromises here.

What does business have to do with it?

Any company sooner or later comes to standardize work processes. As a rule, this happens along with an increase in the number of working employees. After introducing business processes, the company begins a constant struggle with its own staff, who are trying not to comply with the adopted regulations. In fact, these regulations are not followed because the staff thinks too much instead of just doing it. If we add our Russian mentality to this, we get a wild mixture of sloppiness and irresponsibility. And there is only one way out, first teach people to follow orders, then teach them to carry out business processes, and then accustom them to the company’s values.

Perhaps many may think that this is harsh and cruel. Forcing people to do anything against their will is inhumane. There are a lot of lovers of democratic instruments such as, there are people who firmly believe in power. But believe me, only the power of executive discipline will help you achieve 100% fulfillment of the company’s operational tasks.

Examples of drill training in business

Many companies may or may not be thoughtful about drill training for employees. The main thing here is to adhere to some principles:

• All employees, including officers, must complete the Young Soldier Course (YMC). This means that any employee must go through all stages of career development and be able to do the work of his subordinates. And the main manager, if necessary, must be able to do the work of a subordinate and be ready to take his place.
• Performing simple work is necessary for a person to learn to carry out command orders unconditionally and without hesitation. If a person is not ready to do simple work, then he has no place in the company. I often had to observe how a candidate for the position of department head refused to work as a salesperson for the first month. Personally, I immediately refuse such candidates, because I see no reason to hire for such a position a person who is not ready to do the work of his subordinates.
• Without KMB, employees are not sent to combat conditions. Often young employees simply “plug the holes.” This is fundamentally wrong and deadly for business. If there is an urgent need to “plug a hole,” then the manager must do this.
• Do not appoint external candidates to the positions of operational managers (non-commissioned officers). This is very important point. It is necessary that junior management be nurtured in the company independently. This will ensure the preservation of your company's values ​​and maintain the continuity of generations.

I would like to note that large Western corporations build their branches on very similar principles. This helps to achieve good results. I would also like to note that one of the most common reasons business ruin in Russia, poor personnel discipline. I watched a picture of how an entrepreneur transferred a successfully operating business to the management of hired people, and they ruined it literally in a matter of months. Therefore, I recommend using drill training as one of the the most important stages building discipline in your company.

DRILL

System is a synonym for such concepts as organization and order. That is why it was the system (combat training) that came under fire at one time. Let's remember the press and the statements of a number of figures from the pedagogy of the times of perestroika and the beginning of “democracy”: “drilling”, “militarization of childhood”, “levelling of personality”.

The main educational task of drill training is to form and consolidate among the Youth Army members a respectful attitude towards drill training as the most important traditional attribute of military service. This problem should be solved not only in drill classes. Rituals will also contribute to the active formation of a respectful attitude towards drill training. This rituals associated with carrying and lifting State flag, Banner of your club, association, during ceremonial formations of Youth Army members on significant dates in the life of the country and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, during the guard of honor at monuments, obelisks and memorial signs, formations before the start of classes at the club, during military sports games, when giving military honor to their leaders, instructors, military personnel, consultants of military sports games and each other, in all cases wearing the Youth Army uniform. The atmosphere of a solemn ceremony and paramilitary competition encourages the Youth Army members to master drill techniques and skills. Participation in rituals will generate emotional uplift among the Youth Army members.

Drill - The subject is purely practical. The theoretical (verbal) element is used mainly to explain certain concepts and the order of performing drill techniques. Otherwise, classes are conducted through demonstration and training. The methodology for conducting such classes is based on the well-known principle of “do as I do,” when students exactly copy the execution of a drill by the leader.

Training is important component drill training. They have a strong educational impact on students. Repeated repetitions of a drill technique require persistence, perseverance, and other volitional efforts to achieve its impeccable execution. It is recommended to introduce elements of play, competitiveness, and a kind of competition into training, which involves mutual assistance and at the same time the desire to achieve a better performance of a technique than a friend.

The drill stance, as you know, is the main element of drill training, on which all others are based. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that taking a drill stance becomes a habit for students in all classes, when communicating with each other, as well as when addressing squad leaders, platoon commanders, leaders, and instructors. To do this, you need to carefully observe the behavior of students and each time gently remind them of this. The platoon commander and squad leaders must set an example.

Combat training includes not only individual drill training, but also drill coordination of units (sections, detachments) during their joint actions. Combat training contributes to the successful solution of tasks of tactical training of units, increasing their combat readiness. It is no coincidence that the close relationship between the drill training of soldiers and their combat and tactical skill is expressed briefly, but filled deep meaning rule: “Good in the ranks, strong in battle.” The fairness and wisdom of this rule are confirmed by the experience of the Great Patriotic War, when excellent drill training and high combat skill of personnel made it possible for our units and units to carry out the most difficult tasks. combat missions with minimal losses and in a short time.

In drill training classes, not only the primary skills of being in the ranks, drill bearing and dash (beautiful posture and firm gait), agility and endurance are developed. Along with this, collectivism and comradely mutual assistance, a sense of unit coherence, discipline, neatness and smartness, speed of reaction, and the ability to transfer one’s will to a group of comrades are fostered. Since the creation of Russian regular army Peter I considered the military formation to be the most important place for a soldier. Neither the officer nor the private had the right to behave arbitrarily in the ranks, much less leave it without permission. When teaching military formation, in peacetime it is necessary to teach soldiers not to rush anywhere and not to be late for anything, because in wartime it will be too late to develop such a habit. This idea belongs to the famous Russian military theorist and teacher General M.N. Dragomirov. It has not lost its meaning even today.

In drill training special place are occupied by classes in which students master the techniques of giving a military salute. These techniques demonstrate almost all the basic elements of drill training; drill stance, marching step, turns, putting your hand on the headdress. This is not just a drill, but one of the types of military rituals that includes mutual greeting of military personnel upon meeting as a mandatory act of military politeness, as well as an expression of respect and military honor. historical monuments, memorials. The ritual of military greeting and rendering of military honors expresses the observance by military personnel of military ethics, which refers to such a capacious concept as military honor. Military honor is a moral concept that characterizes moral qualities and the principles of a warrior (military team), his behavior and attitude towards the performance of military duty. Military honor also presupposes the respectful attitude of each soldier towards his rank, position, duties and his comrades in military labor. Honor necessarily presupposes loyalty this word, which is an important criterion for the moral maturity of a warrior. Honor is always honesty with yourself and your comrades in big and small things. Military honor is organically linked to another category of military ethics - military duty.

When learning to perform drill techniques with weapons “on the belt”, “on the chest”, “behind the back” and others, the educational task is to form in them a respectful attitude towards their personal weapon - a machine gun, a reliable and effective means of defeating the enemy in battle fire, butt and bayonet in hand-to-hand combat. Without this respect and love for weapons, it is impossible to learn how to correctly perform drill techniques, and, consequently, to wield them easily and skillfully in the ranks and in battle. As a rule, for those guys who have not clearly and correctly learned how to perform drill techniques with weapons, the machine gun always seems to get in the way, becomes superfluous, and hampers their movements. Improper handling of a weapon can result in injury.

Drill training disciplines young men, develops diligence, composure, smartness, neatness and drill bearing, and is important for preparing high school students of general education and vocational educational institutions for service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
All exercises together must be performed by individual students with the same accuracy and the same amount of effort (as if there was one student standing in front of the teacher).
Drill training is a subject of training for military personnel, the purpose of which is to develop their drill bearing, smartness and endurance, the ability to correctly and quickly carry out commands, drill techniques with and without weapons, as well as prepare units for coordinated actions in various formations. Drill training is organized and conducted on the basis of the Drill Regulations of the RF Armed Forces.
The basis of drill training for students is single drill training, i.e. correct execution drill techniques for each student.
To teach successfully, the teacher must constantly improve his personal drill training and methodological skills, carefully prepare himself and his assistants for each lesson, personally conduct an exemplary demonstration of drill techniques and actions, promptly notice and correct mistakes made by students, and constantly improve drill training in other classes. according to life safety, using all formations and movements for this.
In the first lesson, the teacher conducts a formation calculation, students take places in the formation depending on their height (by rank). In the future, all life safety classes should begin with the formation of young men and inspection of their appearance.
To conduct drill exercises, a carefully prepared construction site is required. It is better to conduct classes on an asphalt area or path.

It is advisable to teach drill techniques and actions in the following sequence:
an exemplary demonstration of the technique of performing the technique or action being studied;
students performing (learning) the shown technique or action at the command of the teacher or independently;
training in quickly and accurately performing a technique (action);
checking the implementation of the technique (action) by each student.
To familiarize yourself with a technique (action), the life safety teacher shows it, tells where and for what purpose it is used, gives a command to perform the technique, shows an exemplary technique for performing it in general and in sections, and gives a brief explanation. The life safety teacher must demonstrate all the techniques and actions so that all students can clearly see him.
Simple techniques are learned as a whole, complex techniques - in sections, sometimes using preparatory exercises.
Training in performing a technique includes its conscious repetition and consolidation until students acquire strong skills. First, trainees should be trained at a slow pace, and then at a normal pace. Students can practice in pairs, giving commands one at a time. Errors made by individual students must be eliminated as training progresses, paying special attention to the prescribed execution of techniques.
Comments should be made not to the entire system, but to certain students. It is advisable to call a student who made a mistake when performing a technique and ask him to repeat the technique. If he once again makes a mistake when performing a technique, the life safety teacher must again tell and show the technique for performing the technique, and then seek to consciously perform it.
To determine the degree of mastery of the technique and the accuracy of the execution of the studied technique or action during the lesson, the life safety teacher checks the execution on command. A life safety teacher must know and prevent typical mistakes when performing drill techniques and actions.
Each subsequent lesson builds on the previous one, consolidates it in conjunction with the techniques being studied and generally summarizes the content of the section “Fundamentals of drill training”; it is a basic component of high-quality mastery of the course for a young soldier in the army, because the programs used in the army are focused on that level of pre-conscription training that general education and special educational institutions should provide. This ensures continuity in the program requirements for training young people for military service and the successful training of a young soldier without additional time investment, which is very important when service periods are shortened.

9. COMBAT TRAINING

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Combat training is one of the main subjects of military training and education. Drill training disciplines military personnel, develops in them speed and accuracy of Actions with weapons and equipment, and also contributes to the acquisition of skills that are necessary in tactical, fire, special training and in other subjects of study. It includes single drill training without weapons and with weapons, drill coordination of units on foot and in vehicles, drill reviews and compliance with the requirements of the Drill Regulations of the Armed Forces Russian Federation V everyday life.

Classes in many combat training subjects are directly related to the actions of personnel in the ranks: formations, movements and various formations. The quality of training largely depends on how tank commanders themselves fulfill the requirements of the Drill Regulations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

The charter obliges commanders, before formation, to indicate the time, place, order of formation, uniform and equipment, as well as what weapons, combat and other equipment to have. This requirement brings, first of all, clarity, clarity and organization before personnel go to classes. In addition, the commander must check the availability of subordinates, weapons, military equipment, ammunition, and equipment in the ranks. personal protection and entrenching tools. Subordinates should check the appearance, availability and correct fit of equipment.

The squad commander is obliged to constantly maintain formation discipline, demand that the unit accurately execute commands and signals, and ensure that military personnel perform their duties in the formation. When issuing commands in the ranks on the spot, the commander assumes a position at attention.

When building squads with equipment, commanders are required to inspect it, check the availability and serviceability of equipment for transporting personnel, as well as the correct fastening of the transported (towed) equipment and stowage of property. When moving, follow the established rules, distance and speed.

The main tasks of the squad commander in the training process are: timely identification of shortcomings and errors when performing techniques and revealing their causes; eliminating deficiencies in every activity and daily life; constant high demands on oneself and subordinates.

BASICS OF COMBAT TRAINING METHODS

High drill training of a commander is crucial in achieving success in drill training, in the ability to exemplarily perform the techniques provided for in the drill regulations and methodically correctly train subordinates.

Each lesson must be preceded by careful preparation. In accordance with the requirements of the combat training program, squad commanders prepare to conduct training at instructor-methodological classes, briefings and during self-study. During hours of independent training, the squad leader studies the statutory provisions, methodological manuals drill and command; draws up a summary plan based on the instructions of the platoon commander; improves the technique of performing drill techniques and actions practiced in classes; prepares the personnel of the department.

Each drill exercise should be a new step in improving the drill training of soldiers and units. The depth of knowledge gained and the strength of skills largely depend on skillfully chosen teaching methods and training conducted during classes.

In drill training, the following methods are mainly used: oral presentation, demonstration, training, independent study.

When studying a drill technique or action, it is necessary to find a method of explanation, demonstration and training that, at a given time, in a given lesson, will give the best result in the shortest possible time.

The explanation of the technique or action should be concise, clear and clear, just like the technique or action itself. Each part of the explanation must be accompanied by a practical demonstration.

The commander's place during drill training should ensure observation of the actions of the trainees and timely elimination of noticed errors. The most appropriate removal from the formation of a unit should be considered: for a squad commander - 3-4 steps, for a platoon commander - 5-6 steps.

Commands must be given clearly and loudly. A vaguely given command makes it difficult to execute, and an incorrectly given command leads to confusion or failure of the military personnel.

Training in drill techniques should be carried out in the following sequence: familiarization; unlearning; training.

For familiarization with the reception, the commander must:

name the technique and indicate where and for what purpose it is used;

give a command to perform the reception;

show strictly according to the Drill Regulations how the technique is performed as a whole, and then at a slow pace - in sections with a brief explanation of the order of its implementation.

A minimum amount of time should be spent on familiarization with the procedure.

Depending on the complexity of the drill unlearning it can be carried out:

in general, if the technique is simple;

by divisions, if the technique is complex;

with the help of preparatory exercises, if the technique is complex and its individual elements are difficult to assimilate.

The study of each element of the technique (if it is difficult to perform) also begins with a demonstration and a brief explanation. Techniques shown clearly, correctly and beautifully always make a great impression on students and make them want to perform them as shown.

After becoming familiar with the drill technique, they begin to form the skill as a holistic action, including two interconnected main stages.

The first stage consists of dividing a complex technique into elements and performing it element by element.

The second stage sequentially combines elements into groups and then into a single whole.

At the end of the training, training is carried out, which consists of repeatedly performing the studied technique as a whole. Having noticed an error in the execution of a technique by one of the soldiers, the commander approaches him and, being next to him, trains or teaches him, while the rest continue training on their own. If several soldiers make the same mistake during training, the commander stops training the squad and demonstrates the technique again, after which the training continues. At the same time, the commander must ensure that all techniques are performed correctly, quickly, beautifully and clearly.

SINGLE COMBAT TRAINING

Single training of military personnel is the basis of the unit's drill training. Only in the process of individual preparation can you notice all the mistakes and correct them in a timely manner. Single training, as a rule, is directly carried out by the squad leader. He personally conducts classes with the department and is responsible for the individual training of his subordinates.

Single combat training classes must be conducted on a specially equipped site or on a drill parade ground.

The study of drill techniques on the spot must be carried out in open formation, and while on the move - at increased distances, so that the squad commander can clearly see errors and inaccuracies in the actions of each soldier.

The most commonly used are one-way and two-way teaching methods. With a one-way training method, all trainees are in open formation, training in performing a technique or action under the guidance of the squad leader. With a two-way training method, military personnel train in pairs, alternately acting as a commander, with the most trained soldiers training the less trained. The squad leader controls the actions of the soldiers, moving from one pair to another, and corrects the mistakes they make.

In both teaching methods, two methodological techniques are usually used.

The first technique is “Do as I do.” At the same time, the squad leader, while training soldiers, himself performs the technique in an exemplary manner. The second technique is “I train one, everyone does it.” From an open single-rank formation, the squad leader calls one of the soldiers for a certain number of steps, trains him, and the soldiers in the formation carry out the same commands as the trainee.

At the end of the lesson, the squad leader indicates to each soldier what he needs to improve and by when, holds a competition for the best performance of the learned technique, and also gives instructions on preparing for the next lesson.

Soldiers are trained in drill techniques with weapons using the same methods as without weapons. Moreover, at the beginning of each lesson, the squad leader is obliged to inspect the weapon to ensure that it is not loaded and to check that the belt is properly secured. Before performing drill maneuvers with a weapon, it is first put on safety.

CONSTRUCTION COORDINATION

The formation coordination of a squad consists of training personnel to perform clear and coordinated actions in deployed and marching formations.

Classes to train soldiers to act in squad formations are conducted by squad commanders under the guidance of the platoon commander. The squad leader studies actions in squad formations in the following sequence: names the formation; gives a command; explains the order of execution (formation, rebuilding), if necessary, calls out two soldiers and shows the actions of each of them during various formations. Then he teaches the personnel of the department to accurately carry out the command, while achieving coordinated actions.

All construction and reconstruction are carried out in strict accordance with statutory requirements. So, for example, to form a squad in a deployed single-rank formation, the command “Squad, in one rank - STAND” is given. At the preliminary command “Squad”, all trainees must immediately turn to face the commander, take the “at attention” position and wait for the next command, ready to quickly and clearly execute it. The squad leader gives the command while facing the trainees. After the formation command is given, he faces towards the front of the formation, remaining in the “at attention” position. When the formation begins, the squad leader steps out of formation and monitors the formation of the squad. Alignment of the squad is carried out in cases where the intervals between servicemen in the ranks are violated, the toes of boots are not on the same line, but in a two-rank formation, in addition, the distance between the ranks is violated.

In order for trainees to more quickly assimilate the procedure for changing formation and achieve coordinated actions, training in a deployed formation should begin with changing formation in divisions, and in a marching formation - at a slow pace and, as it is mastered, bringing it to normal.

It is advisable to train a squad in performing a military salute first in a single-rank formation (one in a column), and then in a two-rank formation (two in a column). In all cases, it is necessary to ensure that the military salute is performed in a smart manner, with strict adherence to the requirements of the Military Regulations; turning the head should be uniform and performed clearly and simultaneously by all students.

When responding to a greeting from a commander (chief) while on the move, all military personnel must begin the response by placing their left foot on the ground, pronouncing each subsequent word while placing the next foot on the ground.

Coordination of the squad when operating on a vehicle includes: formation of personnel in front of the vehicle; weapon inspection; landing of personnel; placement of military personnel and property; performing a military salute on a car on the spot and in motion; disembarkation of personnel from the vehicle. The embarkation and disembarkation of personnel is practiced first in divisions or at a slow pace, then at a fast and prescribed pace.

IMPROVING DIRECT TRAINING
IN EVERYDAY LIFE

The commander must know that any formation and movement of a unit in the ranks helps to improve combat coordination and strengthen conscious military discipline among military personnel.

Physical exercise, morning inspection, serving in daily duty and other activities according to the daily routine should also be used by sergeants to improve the drill skills of soldiers. The behavior of military personnel in everyday life (outside the formation on the territory of military camps and beyond) is important in maintaining high military discipline and drill performance of soldiers. One of the manifestations of military politeness is the mutual military greeting.

In addition to developing combat skills, the squad leader is obliged to develop in his subordinates the ability to wear military uniforms correctly. It must strictly comply with the rules for wearing it and always be clean and tidy.

The squad commander's constant concern for his appearance and the appearance of subordinates is the first sign of a desire for order, organization, and high military culture in the unit.

10. PHYSICAL PREPARATION
AND SPORTS WORK

PHYSICAL PREPARATION

General provisions

The purpose of physical training in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is to ensure the level of physical fitness of military personnel necessary to perform combat and other special tasks in accordance with their professional purpose.

The general objectives of physical training for military personnel are:

harmonious spiritual and physical development of the individual;

propaganda healthy image life;

development and maintenance sufficient level physical qualities;

formation of military-applied motor skills.

Physical training contributes to:

education of moral-volitional and psychological qualities;

increasing the body's resistance to adverse factors;

military professional activities and the environment;

formation of the readiness of military personnel to endure extreme physical and mental stress during the period of preparation and conduct of combat operations.

Physical training is carried out in the following forms:

training sessions;

morning physical exercises;

physical training in the process of combat training activities.

Every sergeant must:

constantly improve your physical fitness and be an example in this for your subordinates;

know the level of physical fitness of each soldier for all exercises in the training program;

skillfully master the methodology for conducting morning physical exercises, incidental physical training, individual parts of training sessions and methods of teaching a particular exercise, technique (action);

in practice, to carry out the relationship between physical training and the requirements for combat activity;

distribute rationally physical activity throughout the day and week;

ensure the readiness of places for classes in all sections of physical training;

comply with safety requirements and injury prevention during training physical training;

ensure high motivation of personnel for physical training, development of a sustainable need for military personnel for regular physical exercise.

Physical training planning for military personnel undergoing military service upon conscription is carried out on the basis of:

for training sessions– 3 hours per week during school hours;

for morning physical exercises - 30 (50) min. daily, except weekends and holidays;

for physical training during combat training activities- by decision of the unit commander.

The main planning document in the company is the weekly class schedule, which indicates: options and content of morning physical exercises; topics and content of physical training classes; content of associated physical training; time and content of sports work; timing, topics and content of instructor-methodological and demonstration classes with sergeants undergoing military service under conscription and contract.

Each serviceman bears personal responsibility for the level of his physical fitness, is obliged to systematically engage in physical exercise and be constantly physically ready to perform military duty and official duties.

BASICS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING METHODS

Technique training physical exercise and the formation of motor skills includes: familiarization, unlearning and training.

Familiarization contributes to the creation of a correct motor idea in students about the exercise being learned. To familiarize yourself, you need to: name the exercise, demonstrate it correctly; Explain the technique of performing the exercise and its purpose.

Unlearning aimed at developing new motor skills in students. Depending on the preparedness of the students and the complexity of the physical exercises, the following methods of learning are used:

in general - if the physical exercise is simple, accessible to students, or its implementation in elements (parts) is impossible;

in parts - if the physical exercise is complex and can be divided into separate elements;

by divisions - if the physical exercise is complex and can be performed with stops;

with the help of preparatory physical exercises - if in general it is impossible to perform it due to difficulty, and it is impossible to divide it into parts.

Training- consolidation of motor skills and abilities in students by repeating them many times different conditions, as well as maintaining physical and special qualities at the required level.

Errors that arise during the process of teaching physical exercises are corrected in the following sequence: during group training - first - general, then - specific; at individual training- first - significant, then - minor.

Error prevention is provided by:

clear demonstration and explanation of the technique of performing physical exercises;

correct initial learning of physical exercises;

using preparatory physical exercises;

timely and high-quality assistance and insurance.

Injury prevention is ensured by:

clear organization of classes and adherence to the methodology for conducting them;

high discipline of military personnel, good knowledge of insurance and self-insurance techniques, rules for preventing injuries;

timely preparation of training places and equipment;

systematic monitoring of compliance with established safety standards and rules by lesson leaders.

Training sessions are the main form of physical training.

The duration of training sessions in military units is 1-2 training hours (50-100 minutes). Training session consists of three parts: preparatory, main and final.

The preparatory part of the lesson takes 7-10 minutes (10-15 minutes for a 2-hour lesson), the tasks of organizing the students and preparing their body for the upcoming physical activity are solved.

The content of the preparatory part consists of drill techniques, general developmental and special exercises, which are selected depending on the content of the main part of the lesson. General developmental exercises include stretching exercises, exercises for the muscles of the arms and shoulder girdle, torso, legs, whole body, exercises in pairs and floor exercises, as well as previously learned techniques and actions.

The movement and restructuring of the unit to perform general developmental exercises is carried out in accordance with the Military Regulations.

Performing physical exercises in place and in motion begins from the starting position, which is accepted by the command “Starting position - ACCEPT”. The exercise is performed using the command “Exercise start-NAY”. To finish performing a physical exercise on the spot, instead of the last count, the command “STOP” is given; while moving, the command “Exercise - FINISH” is given. The demonstration of general developmental exercises performed on the spot is carried out by the leader standing facing (mirror) or sideways to the students, and those performed in motion - towards the formation.

Complex exercises are performed in sections. For example: “Bend over, hands back, do - ONCE; drill, do - TWO; sit down, arms forward, palms down, do - THREE; drill, make it FOUR.” After mastering a physical exercise in divisions, a command is given to perform it as a whole, “Exercise - start-NAY.”

To increase the intensity of the load in the preparatory part of the lesson, previously studied physical exercises are performed one after another without pauses for rest at the command “Flow, exercise - start-NAY.”

The main part of the lesson lasts 35-40 minutes (65-85 minutes for a 2-hour lesson). In it, military personnel master military-applied motor skills, improve them, develop physical and special qualities, cultivate moral and mental qualities, achieve combat coherence of military units, and develop the ability to act in difficult conditions.

The main part of the lesson is carried out, as a rule, at three training places with their subsequent change. Performing physical exercises at training places is organized in a group or frontal manner.

To change training locations, the leader gives the command: “Platoon, exercise - FINISH.” At this command, the students stop doing the exercises and line up in one line. Changing places of training is carried out using the commands: “Headward-VO”, “To change places of training by walking (running) - MARCH”. At the first shift, the transition order is indicated.

Single drill training, drill techniques without weapons.

BASICS OF COMBAT TRAINING
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Drill training is an independent subject of training for military personnel in the combat training system and is organically included in many other training subjects, influencing the development of knowledge, skills, and psychological stability necessary for personnel in modern combat. Therefore, drill training is based on the guiding principles of pedagogy. High drill training of officers, warrant officers and sergeants is crucial in achieving success in drill training, in the ability to exemplarily perform the techniques provided for in the drill regulations and methodically correctly train subordinates. It is not enough for a commander to have high methodological skill, good theoretical training and practical skills; it is also important for him to be able to activate cognitive activity their subordinates, and this can be achieved by improving the quality of drill training, educating soldiers creative thinking and providing assistance in mastering the most rational techniques during training. The commander must constantly remember that the foundations of training are best laid from the first days of training. It is at this time that it is developed and then turns into a habit. a certain order in the study of drill techniques, as well as actions with weapons and equipment. It is known that the limits of human knowledge are relative, therefore it is necessary to ensure that subordinates are not embarrassed by today’s ignorance (inability). After all, it is not the one who, without knowing, seeks answers and knowledge, who deserves censure, but the one who does not know, but pretends to know. Assimilation is understanding plus memorization, and mastery of knowledge is assimilation plus application of knowledge in practice. In teaching, it is very important to link the known with the unknown, theory with practice, and establish the most effective forms and methods of drill training.
It is also very important that each drill is conducted against the background of comparability of results with an increase in the spirit of competition. This creates the necessary prerequisites for rapid assimilation of the material being studied.
Each drill exercise should be a new step in improving the drill training of units. The depth of knowledge gained and the strength of skills largely depend on skillfully chosen teaching methods and training conducted during classes. Intensity, continuity of action with full effort - these are the requirements for combat training today. Practice shows that high level drill training of military personnel can be achieved: purposeful and proper planning drill training, clear organization and methodically correct conduct of all classes; conscious study and subsequent improvement of techniques by each military personnel in strict accordance with the requirements of the Military Regulations; regular conduct of briefings, instructor-methodological, demonstration and scheduled drills; improving skills in drill training in all classes, during formations and movements in everyday life; independent training of military personnel in drill techniques; constant control and high demands on the part of commanders of all levels regarding the implementation of the provisions of the Military Regulations by all military personnel.

Without a weapon or with a weapon in the “behind the back” position, the headdress is removed and put on right hand, and with the weapon in the “on the belt”, “on the chest” and “at the leg” positions - with the left. When removing a headgear with a carabiner in the “shoulder” position, the carabiner is first taken to the leg.

Turns in place
30. Turns on the spot are performed according to the commands: “To the right-VO”, “Half-turn to the right-VO”, “Nale-VO”, “Half-turn to the right-VO”, “Cru-GOM”.
Turns around (1/2 circle), left (1/4 circle), half a turn to the left (1/8 circle) are made towards the left hand on the left heel and on the right toe; to the right and half a turn to the right - towards the right hand on the right heel and on the left toe. Turns are performed in two steps: the first step is to turn around, maintaining the correct position of the body, and, without bending your knees, transfer the weight of the body to the front leg;
second appointment - the shortest route put the other leg on.

Movement
31. The movement is performed by walking or running.
The walking movement is carried out at a pace of 110-120 steps per minute. Step size - 70-80 cm.
The running movement is carried out at a pace of 165-180 steps per minute. Step size - 85-90 cm.
The step can be combat or marching.
The marching step is used when units pass through a solemn march; when they perform a military salute on the move; when a serviceman approaches his superior and when leaving him; upon failure and return to service, as well as during drill training.
The walking step is used in all other cases.
32. Movement in a marching step begins with the command “Formation step - MARCH” (in the movement “Formation step - MARCH”), and movement in a marching step begins with the command “Step - MARCH”.

At a preliminary command, move the body forward a little, transfer its weight more to the right leg, maintaining stability; on the executive command, start moving with the left foot in full step.
When moving in a marching step (Fig. 3), bring your leg with the toe pulled forward to a height of 15-20 cm from the ground and place it firmly on the entire foot.
With your hands, starting from the shoulder, make movements near the body: forward - bending them at the elbows so that the hands rise above the belt buckle to the width of the palm and at a distance of the palm from the body, and the elbow is at the level of the hand; back - to failure in the shoulder joint. Fingers are bent, keep your head straight, look ahead.
When moving at a walking pace, move your leg freely, without pulling your toes, and place it on the ground, as during normal walking; make free movements around the body with your hands.
When moving at a marching pace, on the command “Attention”, switch to a marching step. When moving at a marching pace, on the command “FREE”, walk at a marching pace.
33. The running movement begins with the command “RUN - MARCH”.
When moving from a place, upon a preliminary command, move the body slightly forward, bend the arms halfway, moving the elbows slightly back; on the executive command, start running with your left leg, using your arms to make free movements forward and backward to the rhythm of running.
To move from a step to a run, at a preliminary command, bend your arms halfway, moving your elbows slightly back. The executive command is given simultaneously with placing the left foot on the ground. By this command right foot take a step and start running with your left foot.
To switch from running to walking, the command “Step - MARCH” is given. The executive command is given simultaneously with placing the right foot on the ground. At this command, take two more steps while running and start walking with your left foot.

34. The designation of a step in place is made using the command “In place, with a step - MARCH” (in motion - “IN PLACE”).
According to this command, a step is indicated by raising and lowering the legs, while raising the leg 15-20 cm from the ground and placing it on the entire foot, starting from the toe; make movements with your hands in time with your step (Fig. 4). On the command “STRAIGHT”, given simultaneously with placing your left foot on the ground, take another step with your right foot in place and begin moving with your left foot in a full step. In this case, the first three steps must be combat.
35. A command is given to stop the movement.
For example: "Private Petrov - STOP."
At the executive command given simultaneously with placing the right or left foot on the ground, take another step and, placing the foot, take a combat stance.
36. To change the speed of movement, the following commands are given: “WIDER STEP”, “SHORTER STEP”, “FREQUENT STEP”, “SMARTER STEP”, “HALF STEP”, “FULL STEP”.
37. To move single military personnel a few steps to the side, a command is given.
For example: "Private Petrov. Two steps to the right (left), step - MARCH."
At this command, take two steps to the right (left), placing your foot after each step.
A command is given to move forward or backward several steps.
For example: “Two steps forward (backward), step - MARCH."
At this command, take two steps forward (back) and put your foot down.
When moving to the right, left and back, there is no movement of the arms.

Turns in motion
38. Turns in motion are performed according to the commands: “To the right-VO”, “Half-turn to the right-VO”, “Nale-VO”, “Half-turn to the right-VO”, “Around - MARCH”.
To turn right, half a turn to the right (left, half a turn to the left), the executive command is given simultaneously with placing the right (left) foot on the ground. At this command, take a step with your left (right) foot, turn on the toe of your left (right) foot, simultaneously with the turn, move your right (left) foot forward and continue moving in a new direction.
To turn in a circle, the executive command is given simultaneously with placing the right foot on the ground. At this command, take another step with your left foot (a count of one), move your right foot half a step forward and slightly to the left and, sharply turning towards your left hand on the toes of both feet (a count of two), continue moving with your left foot in a new direction (in a count of three).
When turning, the movement of the arms is made in time with the step.
The drill step is one of the most complex and difficult to master drill techniques, the implementation of which requires special composure, smartness, clarity, and coordinated movement of the arms and legs from the trainees.
The drill step is used when units are passing through a ceremonial march, when they salute while moving, when a serviceman approaches and departs from his superior, when leaving the ranks and returning to ranks, as well as during drill exercises.
The recommended sequence for learning to move in marching steps is as follows:
- training in hand movements;
- training in marking a step on the spot;
- training in movement in marching steps on four counts;
- training in movement with a marching step on two counts;
- training in movement at a marching pace at a slow pace (50-60 steps per minute);
- training in movement at a drill pace at a prescribed pace (110-120 steps per minute) according to the markings of the construction site;
- general training in marching along the parade ground without markings;
- acceptance of tests.
Having talked about the use of the drill step, the commander begins to learn it with the squad. Learning to move with a marching step, like every new technique, should begin with an exemplary demonstration and explanation. It is recommended to learn the drill step by element, using preparatory exercises for this. Having demonstrated the movement in a marching step as a whole, the squad leader demonstrates in sections the first preparatory exercise - movement of the arms, and then gives the command “Movement with the arms, do it - ONCE, do it - TWO”. According to the "do - ONCE" count, the soldiers must bend their right arm at the elbow, moving it from the shoulder near the body so that the hand rises above the belt buckle to the width of the palm and is at a palm's distance from the body; simultaneously left hand pull back until the shoulder joint fails. The fingers should be bent and the elbow of the right hand should be slightly raised. According to the “do - TWO” count, students must move their left hand forward, and their right hand, starting from the shoulder, back to failure. After each count, the commander delays the position of the students’ hands and corrects the mistakes they made. If the technique is performed incorrectly by the majority of the soldiers in the squad, he gives the command “LEAVE”, and if only one soldier makes mistakes, he gives the command, for example, “Private Ivanov - LEAVE”. After learning the preparatory exercise for the hands in divisions according to the commands of the commander, you can move on to training at the expense of the soldiers themselves or to the drum.
To complicate this exercise, the designation of a step in place is subsequently added to it (Fig. 7).

After mastering the correct position of the hands, the squad leader begins to study the next preparatory exercise - movement in a formation step in divisions of four and two counts.
Having demonstrated the preparatory exercise for divisions into four counts, the commander opens the compartment into four steps and, turning it to the right, commands: “Formation step, for divisions for four counts, step - MARCH”: “ONE, two, three, four: ONE, two , three, four,” etc. The count of “ones” is pronounced loudly. At the preliminary command “Step,” the squad soldiers move their body slightly forward, transferring the weight of the body more to the right leg and maintaining a stable position (Fig. 8, a). According to the executive command “March” and counting “one”, they begin to move from the left leg, in full step, bringing the leg forward with the toe pulled out (the foot should be parallel to the ground) to a height of 15-20 cm from the ground (Fig. 8, b), and place it firmly on the entire foot, at the same time lifting the right leg off the ground and pulling it half a step forward to the heel of the left leg (Fig. 8, c). Simultaneously with the step, the trainees move their right hand forward and their left hand back to failure (as indicated in the first preparatory exercise) and stand on their left leg with their arms down, the right leg straight, with the toe almost at the ground. On the count of “two, three, four” they make an exposure.

On the next count of “one,” the movement is repeated, but with the right foot, and on the count of “two, three, four,” hold again, etc. After practicing the preparatory exercise for four counts, the squad leader repeats the same movement for two counts, for which he gives the command “Formation step, in divisions into two counts, step - MARCH” and counts: “One, two: one, two”, etc. At the count of “one”, a step forward is performed, at the count of “two” - endurance . If the squad soldiers make mistakes, you should repeat the exercise again for four counts. Then the squad leader begins learning to move in formation at a pace of 50-60 steps per minute, followed by increasing the pace of movement to 110-120 steps per minute. To correct errors, it is recommended to move from the full tempo of movement in a marching step to movement in divisions of four or two counts. During the training of the department in performing the technique as a whole, it is necessary to strictly maintain a movement pace of 110-120 steps per minute. The squad leader, being in the center of the construction site, gives commands. If he notices a general mistake, then he stops the squad, turns it to face him and, having shown how to do it, continues the training. If only one soldier makes a serious mistake, the squad leader takes him a step to the side, stands next to him and corrects the mistake as he goes. Training in divisions and in general can be carried out by command and at the expense of the commander, independently at the expense of the trainees, and also to the drum. When learning to move in formation steps, it is necessary to ensure that the soldiers do not sway from side to side when moving. The reason for the swaying is the incorrect positioning of the legs when moving: instead of placing the legs with the inside of the feet along the axis of movement, they place them to the sides, while the center of gravity of the body shifts to the right and then to the left with each step. If a soldier seems to jump while moving at a marching pace, he must be pointed out to his mistake and demand that he transfer the weight of his body from foot to foot evenly, and not in jerks. When moving, you should not allow one leg to cross over the other. After eliminating all the shortcomings, they move on to training movement at a marching pace in the formation of a squad (platoon).
Upon completion of marching training, the squad leader accepts credit from each student.
Before studying turns in motion, it is advisable to practice walking and running, changing the speed of movement, and stopping movement. The normal walking speed is 110-120 steps per minute, the step size is 70-80 cm. The normal running speed is 165-180 steps per minute, the step size is 85-90 cm.
To start running, the command “Run - MARCH” is given. When starting to run from a place, the student, upon a preliminary command, must slightly move his body forward, half-bend his arms, move his elbows slightly back, and upon an executive command, begin running with his left leg, making free movements of his arms forward and backward in the rhythm of running. Learning to run begins with demonstrating and mastering the technique at a slow pace. While demonstrating the running technique, the commander pays attention to the position of the body and the movement of the arms, pushing with the leg, bringing it forward and placing it on the ground. After the demonstration, the trainees, at the command of the commander, run in a column one at a time around the construction site, keeping a distance of four steps. The commander, being in the center, watches them run, monitoring the correct execution of individual elements, pointing out errors and seeking their elimination. To move from a step to a run, following a preliminary command, you need to bend your arms halfway, moving your elbows slightly back. The executive command is given by the commander simultaneously with the soldier placing his left foot on the ground. At this command, he takes another step with his right foot and starts running with his left foot at normal speed. To switch from running to walking, the command “Step - MARCH” is given. The executive command is given simultaneously with placing the right foot on the ground. At this command, you need to take two more steps while running and, placing your left foot on the ground, begin to walk. If it is necessary to move from walking (running) to walking (running) on ​​the spot, the command “IN PLACE” is given abruptly and clearly. The commander in front of the formation shows a step in place in general and by division with an explanation: a step in place is indicated by raising and lowering the legs; the leg must be raised 15-20 cm from the ground and placed on the ground from the front of the foot along the entire footprint; make movements with your hands in time with your step. After this, he begins training. Teaching a step on the spot is carried out in divisions into two counts using the command: “Designation of a step in place, in divisions, do - ONCE, do - TWO.” According to the “do - ONCE” count, raise your left leg, make a movement with your right hand so that your hand rises above the buckle of the waist belt by the width of your palm and at a distance of the width of your palm from the body, and move your left arm back until the shoulder joint fails. According to the “do - TWO” count, place your left foot on the ground from the front of the foot along the entire footprint. Lower your arms, hands at the sides and in the middle of the thighs. By repeating the command, the described positions of the right and left legs (arms) are practiced alternately. In this case, special attention is paid to the position of the hands and compliance with the drill stance. If a student makes mistakes when performing techniques, then training should be continued until the noted deficiencies are eliminated. The training is carried out using the command “Step on the spot - MARCH”. When transitioning from a standing step to a walking movement, the command “STRAIGHT” is given simultaneously with placing the left foot on the ground. At this command, the student takes another step in place and begins moving with a full step with his left foot. At the command “Run in place - MARCH,” the student runs in place, placing his feet on the front of the foot and moving his arms in time with the running. On the command “Straight”, given simultaneously with placing your left foot on the ground while running, you need to take another step while running in place with your right foot and start moving forward with your left foot. Having shown the technique of moving by walking and running, transitioning from walking to running and vice versa, talking about it and explaining the requirements of the drill regulations for their implementation, the commander begins to train the learned techniques and actions. Having made sure that the majority of the trainees have correctly mastered the technique of walking and running, the commander, pointing out the shortcomings to individual trainees, sets the task of eliminating them during extracurricular time, and he himself begins to explain and demonstrate the implementation of techniques for changing the speed of movement. To change the speed of movement, the following commands are given: “WIDER STEP”, “SHORTER STEP”, “FREQUENT STEP”, “RE-SAME”. "HALF STEP", FULL STEP." To take a few steps to the side in formation on the spot, a command is given, for example: "Two steps to the right (left), step - MARCH"; in this case, a foot is placed after each step. To move forward or back a few steps, a command is given, for example: “Two steps forward (backward), step - MARCH." On this command, take two steps forward (backward) and put your foot down. When moving to the right, left and back, no movement of the arms is made. to stop the movement, commands are given, for example: “Squad - STOP”, “Private Petrov - STOP” According to the executive command given simultaneously with placing the right or left foot on the ground, you must take another step and, placing your foot, take the “At attention” position. .

Combat training is an integral part of the life of any military personnel. Everyone who once served in the army, long after the end of their service, remembers how they had to march for a long time on the parade ground and perfect their step.

Some remember drill training with a smile, others shudder at the mere thought of it. But be that as it may, it is this discipline that lays the foundation for a soldier’s behavior in service. Drill training not only teaches you how to march beautifully on the parade ground, it strengthens your will, raises team spirit and improves your ability to control your body...

Many people think that drill training appeared relatively recently. However, this is not true. Around 800 BC, the Greeks first began to use military formation. Thanks to this training, the phalanx turned into a formidable offensive force. A lot has changed today. But the need for coordination of actions has not disappeared. A soldier who does not know how to follow commands may die himself or kill a comrade. That is why drill training is built on the strictest discipline.

In the Company of Honor Guard, without whose participation no one can do significant holiday in the country, special attention is paid to drill training. Every step, every command is honed to perfect execution.

There are many techniques for marching. One of the main types is the combat step. It is usually performed at a pace of 100-120 steps per minute. Another type is the ceremonial or “Prussian” step, when the leg is brought forward almost at a right angle with the body. In addition, it is performed at a slower pace - 75 steps per minute. Such movements require long training and enormous physical effort.

Combat training is not an easy “science”. These fighters are just learning such a delicate art. The guys with impeccable bearing still have hundreds of hours of training ahead on the parade ground, after which they will turn into real fighters and defenders of the Motherland.
