General Basic Skills 44.1 The skills which an infantry soldier must have fall into five basic areas. These are: a. Navigation, b. Marksmanship, c. Physical training, d. First Aid, and e. Battlecraft. 44.2 Training which is conducted by the platoon should emphasise these skills and should be aimed at making every soldier proficient in these areas. 14.3The purpose of Chapter 14 is to provide doctrinal guidance to the platoon on training for war.

Infantry soldiers should be a step above the all-corp soldier and should know how to handle all ‘employed in his section to an excellent standard. Without this knowledge and skill he is not an effective member of the section as weapon handling to the must be second nature. It is the commanders responsibility to ensure each individual within the team is the master of his weapon. Infantry soldiers must be ingrained with the drills so that they automatically carry out the comet procedures without hesitation or error, day or night even when totally physically and mentally exhausted. ‘This must be progressive and imaginative, I should not just include repetitive weapon handling drills as these are not a rel simulation ‘of battle conditions.

When soldiers get into the routine of conducting batle procedure for everyday activities, it will become second nature and little is left to chance. Battle Drills 4440 The Platoon should have sound procedures for sudden emergencies. On a simple ‘order, certain procedures must be carried out automatically by the individual and the team, In short, battle drills must apply to all members of the platoon and are very effective in all situations when they are rehearsed and practiced regularly. They should be leamt in an open area such as a football field and progressively increased up to and including simulated battle situations. This also gives the platoon commander a higher level of confidence in his platoon, The drill, as applicable to the platoon, must be understood, practised and mastered by all ranks. Once mastered, there must be further opportunity for continual practice and revision. SECTION 14-2.

The Company Commander will either prepare & detailed programme which dictates what will be taught and when, or he will provide comprehensive guidelines for the Platoon to prepare their own detailed programmes. In the latter case, he will indicate the broad subjects to be covered, the standards required and when the troops will be assessed, 44.16 The first step in preparing & detailed training programme is to analyse the battalion or company training directive to determine the tasks of activities that must be completed, and the dates by which these tasks/activities must be completed. Each of these tasks or activities must then be further analysed to determine the individual and group skills necessary to achieve them. The individual and group skills for each task or activity should be listed and recorded for use in subsequent years. 44.17 The next step in preparing a training programme is to assess the evel of training of soldiers. ‘The Platoon Commander must learn which of the individual and gr? skills identified in the analysis can be performed by the soldiers and 10 whl standard.

If it becomes obvious that the platoon is vant mend sae consult his Platoon Sergeant and the Company Commander when he prepares the training programme. Running the Programme 4420 The Platoon Commander should set goals, allocate training resources and then supervise training. He should give most of the instruction on platoon level knowledge and skills whereas the Platoon NCOs should carry most of the instructional burden on individual skills. The Platoon Commander is responsible for the collective training of his sections and Section Commanders. It is the Section Commander's responsibility to ensure that each member of his section has the individual skills required to enable him to successfully complete his job. 4421 There must be constant checking of faults by the Platoon Commander, the Platoon Sergeant and the Section NCOs. Every time a soldier does something wrong or half-heartedly without correction it becomes harder to fix the fault. 44.22 The main difficulty is to keep training interesting. Realism adds interest, builds team spirit and helps prepare troops for the realities of battle. This does not mean that all the training is to be extended. Short training sessions may achieve more by allowing the soldier time to relax and think over or discuss the lessons he has learnt. 14.23 The Platoon Commander will find that repetition in training is necessary. This does not always mean that the same lesson is taught over and over again until the soldiers know it by heart. On the other hand, able soldiers should not be forced to endure unnecessary repetitive training because less able soldiers are unable to Only constant practice will ensure thatthe soldiers gain and maintain a high proficiency in basic skills. The Platoon Commander and his staff should make use of the training ideas and exercises contained in MLW 2-3-6 Infantry Battle Skills.
