Drill Manual 4th Edition
PROLOGUE
As part of a uniform body like the Girls' Brigade, Drill is one of the must have programmes. The pay
off for good drill when implemented properly with the right purpose in mind can promote espirit de
corps, friendships and memories that will last a lifetime for the girls.
The purpose of this drill manual is to help create a standardized drill sequence across GB Malaysia. It
has been written in a way to provide the readers with a sense of purpose of why we do drill and why
it is still relevant in the GB program. The manual also outlines the benefits of drill and the spiritual
link that it has in terms of bible verses.
Drill competitions is always part of drill and it is a good event to encourage teamwork, the attitude
of working hard and aiming for something as a squad. With this drill manual, we hope that
competitions can be held more regularly and easily with a standardized list of steps and rules that
may be used moving forward.
The 4th edition manual has been updated to include more details on the drill steps and clarification
which trainers and girls frequently ask. We certainly hope that girls will be able to follow the manual
and learn the drill steps by themselves easily. In this manual, we have also included in the drill camp
blueprint and guide in the manual so any organiser can take up and start a drill camp with minimal
fuss. We hope that you will have an easy time picking up this drill manual and learning whatever that
you would like to learn easily. God bless!
Blessing,
Captain Felicia Choong
National Drill Officer 2016/2017

CHAPTER 1
THE PURPOSE AND PLACE OF DRILL IN THE GIRLS’ BRIGADE
It is important that the real aim of drill in the GB is realized by all officers. Drill is not an end in itself,
but together with other Company activities, it is meant to further the GB Aim. The value of drill in the
Brigade must not be overlooked or taken lightly.
A. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of drill in Girls’ Brigade Malaysia is to train girls to have self-discipline and control
over their own bodies, to work as a team and to develop a sense of duty towards each other with
the end purpose of achieving the spirit of esprit de corps.
B. HISTORY OF DRILL
Historically, drill is synonymous to the training of soldiers in preparation for battle. The earliest
form of drill comes from Sumer and Egypt with the need to move and assemble large numbers of
men for battle. This form of warfare was further developed and improved by the Greeks and it
was the Spartans who carried the training discipline to the extreme. The Romans utilizing their
military strength to expand their empire gave us the earliest image of drill in history.
Drill enables commanders to move their soldiers from one point to another, to form battle
formations and execute orders upon command. Such trainings also prepare and equip soldiers
with the tasks of working together efficiently for combat.
Drill has evolved and adapted over the years and it and it is currently adopted by many uniformed
bodies and schools.
GIRLS’ BRIGADE DRILL HISTORY

Our history of drill in the Girls’ Brigade started in the Sandy Mount Presbyterian Church with the
purpose of warming up a group of choir girls on a cold winter day. The idea of coming together
for drill caught on and it has been part of our brigade program. The idea may have started just
for warming up their cold bodies but the spirit of esprit de corps stayed on.
The Girls’ Brigade Malaysia Page | 1

Drill Manual 4th Edition, 2018
Drill came to us with the command in English and it was only switched to Bahasa in the early
1980s. Ceremonial drill during enrolment services became a permanent part of our GB drill
history. Girls’ Brigade also took part in the 1957 Merdeka Day parade ceremony.
C. THE PURPOSE OF DRILL

Drill basically has a threefold purpose:
1. To Promote Habits Of
a) OBEDIENCE AND DISCIPLINE. These habits are essential in the training of girls, and they
can be almost subconsciously acquired by means of good drill.
b) SELF-RESPECT. This is necessary in many ways. Drill and uniform are amongst the finest
methods of promoting it.
c) SELF-CONTROL. Through drill, a girl is helped to become master of her own eyes, tongue,
hands and eventually her whole body, mind and spirit.
d) CONCENTRATION. Good drill requires absolute concentration, and this can be of great
value in during studies and in task completion.
e) PHYSICAL BEARING. Drill is not intended to replace physical education and recreation. It
is a valuable help in promoting an erect and smart bearing which helps to develop a
dignified pose and exudes confidence.
2. To Develop Leadership
The young leader often finds it difficult to exercise leadership and gain respect. With the
natural leadership encouraged at drill as a Squad Commander or leader, discipline and
obedience from the squad can become easier.
Drill can also provide a valuable opportunity for the Officer to exercise and develop her
leadership, if this opportunity is rightly and widely used.
3. To Encourage Esprit-De-Corps
This expression has been defined as “pride in a unit, which makes a girl ashamed to bring
discredit to it, and makes her ready to sacrifice for it”. Drill helps to build up this spirit. It is
not an individual activity, in that no girl alone can shine at drill, but one individual can
however, spoil the whole drill squad or the Company.
In drill, there is no personal satisfaction for a girl except that she has done her best for the
Company or the team.
D. THE EFFECT ON THE GIRLS
When it is presented and carried out well, drill can be attractive to the girls. Even as they grow
older and lose interest in drill, they will be mentally prepared to do something they may not really
want to, for the sake of the Company. However, it must be realized that this impact will never be
obtained by just marching round the hall aimlessly, or by casual and sloppy drill. The aim of
promoting the threefold purpose of drill must be realized at every drill practice.
E. THE RESULT
It has often been proven that a Company which is good at drill is good at other things. The result
can be felt in all Company activities, the general atmosphere and spirit of the Company and the
overall discipline.
F. THE PLACE OF DRILL

It must be realized that the success of a Company does not depend just on its Drill Parade. The
fact that the amount of time spent on drill is limited in many Companies is inevitable as they only
meet once a week and there are a great number of other valuable activities to be fitted in. It is
however, the quality of the drill and the ability and enthusiasm of the instructor that really
counts.
Good drill promotes the habits mentioned in the GB Aim which includes loyalty to the Company
and the Officer/Drill Commander as its leader, thus culminating in a truly enriching life in GB.

G. BIBLICAL VALUES APPLIED IN DRILL
1. OBEDIENCE
To obey means to do what we are instructed to do. In drill, you are trained to obey most of
the time, and obedience becomes an ingrained habit, you also learn what it means to be
submitted to authority as only a person of authority can demand obedience from you.
To God John 14:15 - if you love me you will obey what I command.
To men Hebrew 13:17 - Obey your leaders & summit to their authority. They
keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them that
their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage
to you.
Our Help Phil 2:13 … because God is always at work in you to help you make you
willing and able to obey to His own purpose.
In these passages, we have the assurance that we are not alone as we work on our obedience.
God has put His Spirit in us to help us obey. Remember Jesus, He demonstrated perfect
obedience to the Father’s will when He died on the cross for our salvation.
God, YHWH alone has the authority over all creation and He alone gives authority to us for
the advancement of His kingdom. May God be gracious to us.
2. DISCIPLINE
Discipline (or self-discipline) here is the willingness to correct ourselves in order to abide by a
written or unwritten set of rules or conduct, in order to be a better role model.
1 Corinthians 9: 26,27
I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear
that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
In this passage, Paul talks about being disciplined as a disciple of Chris, in drill, we are trained
with discipline in mind to achieve our aims and purpose in drill. Therefore, it is good for us at
the same time to be reminded of this verse to better understand the cost of discipleship.

3. SELF RESPECT
Is to have high regard or honour for yourself.
1 Corinthians 19, 20
Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom
we have from God, and you are not your own. For you are bought at a price; therefore,
glorify God in your body and in your Spirit, which are God’s.
What are the temptations we face, which test our self-respect?
Is self-respect and integrity the same?
4. SELF-CONTROL
As part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, self-control is very much needed it every aspect of our
life. Can one person have self-discipline yet without self-control?
Can you relate some of your experiences where self-control is needed?
As we understand and learn self-control we must also see what controls us. Is it …
a) Holy Spirit / Our own spirit
b) Our Mind
c) Our Emotions
d) Our Feelings
e) Our Body
To help you understand the above, think of how a baby grows and how he is control by factors
he cannot yet control.
Galatians 5: 22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
In these verses the Holy Spirit is the one who helps us to produce the fruit of the Spirit in us, as a
child of God we are to understand that self-control is a part of growing in the Spirit of God.

5. ESPRIT-de-CORPS
Do not take pride in yourself, take pride in your unit! Be humbled and realize that it is not just
about you getting your needs met, but also how you can contribute to the success of your
company.
Peter 5:5
In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you,
clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble”.

CHAPTER 2
TEACHING MANUAL
NOTE: This Drill Manual is to be followed strictly by all Officers, Young Leaders and girls of the Girls’
Brigade Malaysia.
A. What is Drill & Discipline

Drill is a movement of a squad of people in Unison
Question: How do you move people in unison?

Instead of moving in union, you bring out their ATTITUDES - a complex mental state involving
believes, feelings, values and dispositions to act in a certain way: e.g. “Drill is challenging” “drill is
scary” “drill is pointless” “drill is fun” “drill is boring”.
In every training, instructor should do the following:
Practice till
Explain Demontrate Execute
Perfect
Before you can move your squad in unison you must know the girls
1. drill know-how (knowledge)
2. Physical state
3. Attitudes toward drill.
We then separate them accordingly and apply the above method:
Explain > demonstrate > execute > motivate your squad (practice till perfect).
B. DISCIPLINE or SELF-DISCIPLINE
Referring to our GB History of drill in Chapter 1, Drill was introduced to Girls’ Brigade with the
purpose of warming up a group of choir girls on a cold winter day. The idea of coming together
for drill caught on and it has been part of our brigade program. The idea may have started just
for warming up their cold bodies but the spirit of esprit de corps stayed on.

Disciplining in Drill
Disciplining is part of drill training to help girls understand the consequences of:
1. Not paying attention or talking unnecessarily during drill
2. improvement
Girls’ Brigade Drill purpose is different from other military or uniform bodies. Here, we would like
to emphasize that Discipline is NOT Punishment. Instead,
1. Discipline is correction
2. Discipline is having control over self
3. Discipline is training
4. Discipline is obedience
5. Discipline is being well-behave
Disciplining measures may be targeted at an individual or the squad. Drill Officers / YL-
Commanders must understand that the disciplining measures meted out is targeted to improve
performance of the individual/squad in drill and to achieve the 3-fold purposes in drill.
Disciplining is in no way demonstrating superiority over girls or officers under your command
neither is it meant to be a shaming punishment.
A responsible Drill Officer / YL-Commander knows the physical abilities and limitations of girls or
officers under her command. She must always let them know before every drill session that it is
alright to request for time-out if they feel physically exhausted or unable to perform a certain drill
tasks.
As Drill Officers and YL-Commanders, we should instill a passion and commitment for drill with
the aim of bringing drill to a level of smartness that could bring satisfaction to all involved.

Responsibilities of Drill Leaders / Instructors Include:

The role of a follower in drill is of great importance to the company. By your obedience to your
leader, your appearance (including the way you wear your uniform) and your willingness to
contribute, you are showing team spirit and contributing to the success of your company.
In every instructor, they must first Be convinced. of the value and place of Drill in GB. Be
confident. This will come only with knowledge: you should therefore study and really get to know
the Drill Manual. Be prepared. Don’t leave it to chance, but prepare each Drill period thoroughly.
Be interesting. Make Drill progressive and attractive.
Setting good examples to the squad
Recruits imitate their instructors and it is by example that they will learn most. Therefore:
a) When drilling a squad, stand at attention.

2.4 Hints to Drill Instructors, Officers / YL – Commander
2.4.1 Sequence of Instruction
All the essential details (e.g. words of command) in this Drill Manual are to be followed
exactly. In the general explanations stage, the instructor is encouraged to use the
standard Drill terminology.
Execute &
Explanation Demonsration Question
Practice
EXPLANATION
Explain what you are about to teach and why it is necessary.
DEMONSTRATION
Break this down as follows:
1. Complete demonstration, shouting out the words of command and calling out the
timing.
2. Demonstration by steps, pointing out important details.
3. Another complete demonstration
QUESTION
After giving the first demonstration by step by step, as the squad if they have any
questions and do so after each successive demonstration.
EXECUTE AND PRACTICE

After each demonstration, execute the movement with the squad, checking faults.
Finally, after demonstrating the whole movement, practice the squad and get the
squad to repeat the steps until they are sure of it. Practice makes perfect!
Explanation and Demonstration may often be combined, but always remember the
importance of demonstration: Girls learn much more easily through their eyes than
ears. Proceed as soon as possible to “Execution” since girls are easily bored by
inactivity. Do allow question time after demonstration in case of doubt.
NOTE: When Drilling a Squad, stand in Sedia position

2.4.2 Teaching Formation
a) In the early stages, use a simple teaching formation, for example:
Not more than 5 girls Between 6 - 8 girls More than 8 girls
Figure 1
Figure 1
b) When explaining, or demonstrating any movements, stand the Squad at Rehatkan

Diri, and feel free to be informal at this stage, without of course losing bearing or
focus.
c) Use a progressive sequence where possible, working from the simplest to the more
difficult methods of carrying out movements.
d) Use both flanks wherever possible. i.e. Changing Direction in line can be carried out
in four ways:
Front rank in front. Changing direction right.

Front rank in front. Changing direction left.
Rear rank in front. Changing direction right.
Rear rank in front. Changing direction left.
Allow every Member to take turns trying out different positions to acquire the necessary
experience and confidence.
e) At all the stages, from beginner to advance, look out for faults and correct them.
Otherwise, wrong habits will be formed and these are difficult to change in the future.
By doing this, the general drill standard will be raised and a sense of achievement will
be attained.
f) Many Drill training courses are run at local and Brigade level, and a real effort should
be made to attend one of these wherever possible.

EXAMPLE OF CONDUCTING A DRILL LESSON
1. Preliminaries. Before commencing the lesson, the instructor shall:

a) Order the squad into a suitable formation (figure 1)
b) State the movement to be taught and the reason for learning; and
c) State the requirement of the performance check or standard.
2. Lesson. The lesson shall be taught in the following stages:
STAGE 1: Demonstrate and walk-through
a) Demonstrate the complete movement, calling out the timing.
b) Demonstrate the first part of the movement.
c) Explain how the first part of the movement is done.
d) Give the squad the opportunity to ask questions.
e) Practice the squad on the first movement (collectively, individually, collectively)
f) Teach the second and each subsequent movement following the sequence
described above.
g) Give two complete and final demonstration
STAGE 2: Practice the Complete Movement
a) Practice the complete movement, with the instructor calling the timing.
b) Practice the complete movement, with the squad calling the timing.
c) Practice the complete movement, with the squad judging the timing.
Note:
1. On difficult movements or movements with several steps, a further demonstration may be
given prior to practicing the complete movement.
2. This is just an example on how you can break down you lesson to Explain > demonstrate >
question and then execute & practice.

2.5 Qualities of A Good Timer
a) Clarity & Volume
The Squad should be able to hear the timer’s voice loudly and clearly regardless of the size of
the Squad. It is practical to situate a timer in the middle of a Squad or have two timers situated
at each end of a large squad.
b) Constancy
The timer must give constant timings according to the required time, pace and regulating
pauses. Inconsistent timing will only cause confusion to the Squad.
c) Sharpness
Just as good commands lead to good Drill, sharp and accurate timing will also allow the Squad
to perform better Drill.
d) Timing during teaching sessions
When Drill is first taught to a Squad, the whole Squad should be made to call out the timing
loudly and clearly. Reason being:
• Every member has the timing for the Drill steps fixed in their head.
• The Squad learns to act together.
e) Timing of Marching Pace
It has been noticed that different Companies have different styles of timing march paces. It is
imperative that the timing for quick time is in compliance with the GBM Drill Standard which
is “Kiri, (pause), Kiri, (pause), Kiri, Kanan, Kiri”, where the pace is 116 paces per minute.

This gives an accurate check on the rate of marching. It can be set to any number of beats per
minute and should be used frequently to maintain uniformity of instruction over timing. It
must, itself, be checked frequently against a stop watch to ensure that it is accurate.

2.6 The Whistle

When the whistle is blown, there must be instant silence and all girls should remain alert for
further instructions.

2.7 Discussion Topics on The Role of Leaders and Followers In Gb Drill
Topics to be covered in the discussions include:
a) The responsibilities of a small unit (team or squad) drill leader.
• describe three roles each of leaders and followers
b) The elements of a proper command voice.
• correctly identify a preparatory command and a final command
• understand and demonstrate the proper articulation of the command voice
• distinctiveness, cadence and inflection
c) How you will know when you are making progress.
• by demonstrating proper drill commands and the use of command voice
• by writing a short summary about the roles of leaders and followers
d) Taking responsibility for your actions and choices.
• Is punishment a means to make girls suffer because they have made mistakes or is it
meant to help girls improve? (Is punishment punitive or remedial?) If drill is meant to
instill self-respect and esprit-de-corps, we must make sure that punishment given in drill
does not jeopardize these two aspects. List out some acceptable and effective
punishments that will help girls understand what is self-control, obedience and teamwork.
e) Why is Cadets’ drill and Juniors’ Drill different from Seniors/Pioneers’ drill? Discuss about
their physical differences and maturity.
2.8 Learning Activities
These activities are designed to help you achieve your objectives (work in a team of 2 or 3). Drill
officers may assign additional activities to suit the local company.
a) PRESENT A CHART or MAP on the roles of leaders and followers in drill. Present your ideas in
a chart or map and discuss how the roles support on another.
b) PREPARE A DIAGRAM OF COMMANDS for a few selected commands. Identify the
preparatory command and the final command drill commands and the correct use of cadence
and inflection.
c) EVALUATE your peers as they demonstrate drill commands.
d) RECORD your comments and responses.
e) LEAD beginners drill (Level 1 – 3) in your company with a senior Young Leader or officer.
PARTICIPATE in company drill and discuss frequently with Young Leaders or Officers on the
progress (using the Drill Evaluation Sheet as your guide) of your company’s drill.

C. THE COMPANY DRILL PROGRAMME
Before the commencement of each drill session, the drill programme for each week/month
should be carefully planned ahead of time.
Each new session will bring new girls, and their Drill training should be considered one of the most
important aspects of their training. It is essential that new girls should not be rushed through
their Elementary Drill, and be put into the rest of the Company too soon. Even in smaller
companies, first year girls should be kept together as a separate drill squad for at least three
months. This enables them to fully understand and be competent in their Basic Drill before joining
the rest of the girls who already have knowledge on advance and combined movements.
For the first 3 months, work through the Drill Manual steadily with the new girls. Talks,
competitions, quizzes, etc., can be added to maintain interest.
A weekly drill period of 30 minutes should be sufficient if the lessons are taught properly and
clearly. Each period should consist of three parts: -
1. Revision of previous week’s movements’
2. Teaching of new movements
3. Practicing and coordinating the new movements with those previously taught.
All companies are required to undertake Basic Drill, and should allow sufficient time to reach a
good standard. Companies should aim to progress and advance until all the drill steps in this
manual have been mastered.
Note: Refer to Appendix VII for sample programme.

D. ADVANCE DRILL
This is purely and simply a logical and progressive step forward from Basic Drill, and is not as
difficult as some people would have imagined! All Drill instructors should study the Advance Drill
section of this manual, and when they fully understand it, should consider its introduction to the
Company.
Apart from the obvious point of providing additional material to prevent the Girls from getting
bored, the main advantage of Advance Drill is that it makes a great deal of use of Young Leaders
and girls, in the commanding of individual section into which the Company is divided.
Not all movements should be covered in one session. A few simple ones can be selected in the
first year, and others added in later years, thus again adding to the interest and ensuring
progression.
E. SPECIAL ACTIVITIES
Different ways of carrying out GB Drill can be used occasionally in stimulating the Member’s
interest, and maintaining high standards in Drill.
Drill instructor should think of ideas that could increase enthusiasm of the Girls in enabling them
to get the most of Drill, without cutting across the basic material in this Drill Manual. Some
example of special activities that you may organize in your company include:
1) Inter-Squad Drill Competitions

Introduce it once or twice a year. Two or three weeks before the competition day, YLs or
Squad Leaders are allowed to Drill their own Squads. On the competition day, a simple Squad
Drill sequence is carried out by each Squad, and an Officer from a neighboring Company or
the Drill instructor may be invited to judge.
2) Sequence Drill / Silent Drill
A Squad works to a set sequence of movements, memorized by each member, and carried
out without commands.
3) Drill Down Contest
Girls should not respond/react to wrong commands. It is a training ground to test their
alertness and concentration to words of commands given by a commander.

H. DRILL THEORY
For real practical aspects of drill to be appreciated, a certain amount of simple theory must be
understood. The following section should be carefully studied by an instructor before conducting
Drill at any stage. This elementary theory should also be introduced gradually to the Girls.
2.9 Basic Foundation of Drill

There are two fundamental things that are present in every Drill movement:
FORMATION The arrangement of Girls in the Squad.
DIRECTION The way which the Squad is facing
a) Formation
There are two basic formations in Squad Drill:
i. LINE ii. COLUMN OF THREES
Diagram
Figure 31
b) Direction
Squad may be moved in four different ways:
i. “SKUAD AKAN MARA, DARI KANAN, CEPAT – JALAN”
This command can be used only once, from the halt, only for Squad in line facing front.
Normally, the preliminary will be dropped in one alignment Drill.
ii. “SKUAD AKAN MENGHADAP KE BELAKANG, KE BELAKANG – PUSING. DARI KIRI, CEPAT
– JALAN”
If the Squad were to turn about again on the march, the following command shall be used:
“SKUAD AKAN MENGHADAP KE HADAPAN, KE BELAKANG – PUSING. DARI KANAN,
CEPAT – JALAN.”
iii. “BERGERAK KE KANAN, KE KANAN – PUSING. DARI KIRI, CEPAT – JALAN”
iv. “BERGERAK KE KIRI, KE KIRI – PUSING, DARI KANAN, CEPAT – JALAN”

These commands are always used irrespective of the particular formation in which the Squad
is at any time. Girls should be taught that the first part of the command (the Preliminary
Caution – we will be covering this part in Chapter 8) is merely a means of informing them
which direction they are about to face.
NOTE: The appropriate directing flank must always be given immediately prior to the
command “CEPAT – JALAN”
All Drill is based on these two foundations, and the instructor and Girls should always be
aware of the formation and direction concerned.
Drill consists of maintaining or changing one or both of these two foundations, as will be
seeing from the following examples.
1) Maintain formation: Maintain direction
Command “SKUAD AKAN MARA, DARI KANAN, CEPAT – JALAN”
START FINISH
Diagram 2

2) Maintain formation: Change direction
Command “TUKAR HALUAN KE KANAN DAN BERHENTI – TUKAR. CEPAT JALAN”
START FINISH
Diagram 3
3) Change formation: Maintain direction

“DAN BERHENTI DI SEBELAH KIRI, JADIKAN – SKUAD. CEPAT –
Command
JALAN”
START FINISH
Diagram 4

4) Change formation: Change direction
Command “BERGERAK KE KANAN, KE KANAN – PUSING”
START FINISH
Diagram 5

2.10 The Directing Flank
The directing flank – “the flank by which units march or dress” – is usually determined by the
Marker (Tanda – No.1 of the front rank) and it is therefore essential for the instructor to know
which member occupies this position.
The following diagrams illustrate the various alternatives:
Dari KANAN Dari KIRI
(a) (b)
Dari KIRI Dari KANAN
(c) (d)
Diagram 6
In the course of Drill movements, there may be frequent changes of the directing flank. The
words “DARI KIRI/KANAN” must be included in the command to let the Girls know by which
flank to dress.
NOTE: The only exception to this rule occurs when changing direction to the other flank on
the march. Obviously, it is advisable to temporarily change the directing flank to the other
flank before giving the rest of the command.

Examples:
Command
“DARI KANAN, TUKAR HALUAN KE KANAN, KE KANAN –
BELOK”
Diagram 7 This command only applies for Squad in Column formation
Command
“DARI KIRI, TUKAR HALUAN KE KIRI DAN BERHENTI – TUKAR”
Diagram 8
In all these cases, as soon as the particular movement is completed, the original directing
flank is restored by giving the command “DARI KIRI/KANAN”.
2.11 The Check Pace

When commands are given while the SQUAD IS ON THE MOVE (Or Marking time), the Squad
will take an extra pace before proceeding with the new movement. This extra pace is called
the “check pace” and allows the Squad to prepare for the movement.
When teaching recruits, it will be helpful to halt them on the check pace before carrying on
with the new movement so that they realize the importance of the check pace.
NOTE: There will be no check pace for all movements in slow time except for “Marching off
from slow Mark Time” (refer to 4.5 on page 67)

2.12 Lifting the Leg and Stamping
In most Drill movements, there is the necessity for “stamping” e.g. Sedia from Senang Diri,
Dressing, stepping to the side, Henti, Changing steps, etc.
This is done by lifting the leg (right or left) by 45 degrees, with the foot being horizontal with
the ground while keeping the rest of the body straight as at the position of attention.
The foot is then driven to the ground, the heel and the toe striking the ground at the same
time. There should not be a pause between lifting the leg and stamping; both movements are
to be done in one count.
1. Timing and Pauses (for turnings at the halt only) – In between each movement, there is a
pause of one count.
2. Timing for counting – the timing for counting the pause is such that there will be 40
movements (118 counts/minutes)
3. No turnings (right, left or about) while marking time.
2.13 The Executive Command ‘SKUAD’, ‘KOMPENI’ and “BARIS”

The executive command SKUAD, KOMPENI and BARIS should only be used to bring a squad
from the position of at ease to the position of attention (SKUAD / KOMPENI / BARIS SEDIA)
and halting (SKUAD / KOMPENI / BARIS HENTI). It should not be used freely as caution before
every other command.
It would be incorrect to say:
a) SKUAD – DARI KANAN NOMBOR (wrong command)
b) SKUAD – SENANG DIRI (wrong command)
c) SKUAD – CEPAT JALAN (wrong command)
d) SKUAD – KELUAR BARIS (wrong command)
SKUAD should be used only for a squad of girls (a drill or individual company squad) while
KOMPENI should be used when the command is directed to the entire company.
The KOMPENI BERSURAI command is unique only when dismissing the entire company from
a weekly meeting or end of a camp / activity.
BARIS should be used when two or more companies are combined.

CHAPTER 3
BASIC DRILL
A. STATIONARY MOVEMENTS
This section contains most of the individual positions and stationary movements required in drill.
These positions and the correct execution of the movement, in every detail, should be learned
before proceeding to other drill movements.
Movements are initiated from the position of attention. However, some rest movements may be
executed from other rest positions.
3.1 Sedia
Purpose
I. This position is used to display readiness in expectation of further commands.
II. This position is also used when addressing officers, or when officers are addressing other
officers.
Teaching Guide
a) Heels together and in line, feet turned out at an angle of 30 degrees. Legs
should remain straight.
b) Body erect and evenly balanced.
c) Head and eyes facing the front; the back of the neck touching the collar;
Diagram 9
shoulder back but natural
d) Arms hang down naturally but firm and straight. No gap between the elbows and body.
e) Curl the fingers so that the tips of the thumbs are alongside and touching the first joint of
the forefingers.
f) Point thumbs down. Keep the thumbs straight along the side line of the uniform; palms
turned towards thighs.

(a) (b) (c) (d)
The thumb pointing straight rest on top

of the forefinger.
(e)
Figure 4
Common Mistakes
a) Heels not together. Examples of Incorrect fist and Sedia posture:

b) Feet not positioned at the proper angle.
c) A strained position, restricting breathing.
d) Body not square to the front
e) Roving eyes and mouth not closed.
f) Bending forward and allowing the body to sag.
g) Arms too straight and close to the body.
h) Unsteadiness.
i) Bending the hands at the wrists.
Figure 5

3.2 Senang Diri
Any of the position of rest may be commanded and executed from the Position of Sedia. The
position of the body remains the same as the position of Sedia with the exception of:
Teaching Guide
a) The feet are placed 12 inches apart (measured from the centre of one
heel to the centre of the other).
b) The feet are turned out at the angle of 30 degrees.
c) Legs straight, body evenly balanced.
Diagram 10
d) The weight of the body rests equally on the both feet.
e) Place the hands behind the back, arms straight and pushed down as Diagram 3.2 far as the
body will allow without bending backwards.
f) Place the right hand on the left hand, both palms facing outwards, with the thumbs
interlocked and the fingers kept straight and close together.
Figure 6
NOTE: When drilling the young girls, it is recommended that this distance (12 inches) be reduced
to about 9 or 10 inches, depending on their respective height. This command can be given
regardless of the direction the Squad is facing.

Common Mistakes
a) Feet not at proper angle and distance apart.

b) Arm flying outward, instead of being pulled behind, close to the body. (refer to figure 7)
c) Legs shifted lazily.
d) Arms not straight, window/gap formed at elbows.
e) Fingers not kept together
Examples of Incorrect arm and hand placement
Figure 7

3.3 Rehatkan Diri
Purpose
This position is for the girls to relax while remaining smart and steady. Only with an order from
the instructor or commander may they move their hands, adjust uniforms, etc, but they must not
move their feet. This is to prevent loss of dressing.
The position is similar to Senang Diri except the elbows which are now bending so that the hands
reach the waist level. (Figure 3.3 (a))
Teaching Method
a) Limbs and head may be moved.

b) Right foot remains stationary
c) Left foot may move a step forward or
backward to adjust shoelaces.
Figure 8
Figure 9

Common mistakes
a) Tendency to be too relaxed and sluggish

b) Turning around, adjusting uniform, etc. without a given order.
c) Moving the feet.
d) Bending the wrists.
e) Elbows not in line with shoulders
f) Fingers not kept closed together.
3.4 Senang Diri Daripada Rehatkan Diri

Command : “SKUAD”
Timing : SATU
Teaching Guide
At this command, the arms are instantly straightened. This will bring the girl back to the Senang
Diri position.
Common Mistakes
a) Failure to straighten arms quickly and smartly.

b) Moving the rest of the body.
3.5 Sedia Dari Senang Diri

Command : “SKUAD – SEDIA”
Timing : SATU, DUA
Teaching Guide
STEP 1 at timing SATU
The left leg is raised at 45 degrees. The foot stays horizontal with the ground. The arms are
pulled to the side of the body by the shortest route; hands clenched. The body is now kept at
the position of attention with exception of the left leg.

STEP 2 At timing DUA
Drive the left foot to the ground, the ball and the heel reaching the ground at the same time, to
complete the position of attention.
Timing SATU DUA

Lift left leg and both Stamp left foot
Action
arms to the sides on ground
Table 2
Common Mistakes
a) Bending the arms.

b) Arms are not taking the shortest route, thus leaving the sides with a “flapping” impression.
c) Bending the body when moving.
d) Moving the wrong foot.
e) Kicky back with left leg.
f) Failure to raise the left leg to the correct level.
NOTE: The above movements are done as one in quick time. There should be no pause in
between them.
3.6 Senang Diri Daripada Sedia

Command : “SENANG – DIRI”
Timing : SATU, DUA
Teaching Guide
The left leg is raised until the thigh is 45 degrees. The foot stays horizontal with the ground. The
arms remain at the side.
STEP 2 at timing DUA
Drive the left leg to the ground 12 inches from the right foot and the hands are placed behind
the back, taking the shortest route, to resume to the Senang Diri position.

Common Mistakes
a) Same as for “Sedia daripada senang diri”

b) Feet not at the correct distance and angle
c) Movement of the arms are not done quickly and smartly.
NOTE: The movements are done as one in quick time. There should be no pause between them.
3.7 Rehatkan Diri Daripada Senang Diri

Command : “REHATKAN – DIRI”
Timing : SATU, DUA, SATU
Teaching Guide
Pull the hands up to the belt, thus bending the elbows on the third count.
Common Mistakes
a) Not pulling the hands quickly and smartly

b) Moving the rest of the body.
c) Rehatkan diri too early. (Hands are brought up before third count (rehat)
d) Move right foot.
NOTE:
1. As this is the command with which the instructor or commander allows her girls to relax,
there is a tendency for the commander to give it in a casual manner. This should NOT be the
case. This command, as with all other commands, must be given correctly and smartly in
proper manner.
2. Movements from Senang Diri to Rehatkan Diri should also be done smartly instead of a
sloppy manner.

B. DRESSING and COVERING
3.8 (A) Full Arm Dressing

Command : “KE KANAN/KIRI - LURUS”
Timing : SATU DUA, SATU DUA
The Command is given when the girls in the squad are standing at SEDIA Position.
Teaching Guide
STEP 1 at timing SATU DUA (first set)
a) The marker (Tanda) stands fast. All except the right-hand file girls will turn their heads to the
right simultaneously.
b) The front rank and right file girls will extend their arms in line with their own shoulder’s height
with the front of the hands frontwards.
c) The arm should horizontal and the thumb just touching the shoulder of the Member on the
right.
Figure 10
d) The right-hand girls of the centre and rear ranks raise their right arms in the same way but in
front, so that the thumb will not touch the shoulder of the member in front.
Figure 11

STEP 2 at timing SATU DUA (second set)
a) Marker stands fast while the rest will raise their left legs 45 degrees, then drive the left feet
to the ground, followed by the right legs in the same manner.
b) The right-hand file Girls adjust their distances while the front-rank Girls adjust their intervals
correctly.
c) The rest will correct their dressing and covering with quick and short steps accordingly.
A girl is in line with the rest of the Girls on her right if she, while standing erect, can see only just
the cheek of the immediate (next) Member on her right. She should also be in line with the girl
in front. This is called covering (refer to Chapter 2, G. Drill Terminology on page 21) and is done
by quickly glancing, through the corners of her eyes, to the front while keeping head turned to
the right.
NOTE: For left dress, heads turn to the left and the right leg will lift first followed by the left leg
in the same manner. This time, the left-hand member of the front-rank stand fast and Girls
behind her raise their left arms. Then correct dressing with quick and short steps.
Figure 12

Common Mistakes
a) Head turning to look in front,
b) Alignment not right.
c) Arm bent and not horizontal; not following own shoulder height; or not in line with shoulders.
d) Shuffling and unnecessary movement.
STEP 3 at command “PANDANG – DEPAN”

Turn the head to the front smartly and quickly and at the same time, drop the arms to the side.
Common Mistakes
a) Turning hand and dropping arm sluggishly.
b) Slapping the side when dropping arm.

NOTE:
1. Arms should NOT be bent.
If space does not permit full arm intervals, the Squad may be dressed at half-arm length
interval with the command “KE KANAN/KIRI – LURUS”. (Refer to 3.9 Half Arm Dressing)

3.8 (B) Half Arm Dressing
Command : “LURUS SEPARUH KE KANAN/KIRI – LURUS”
Teaching Guide
a) The front-rank Girls will bend their arms at the elbows, and rest the fists in front of the chest
and dress in the usual way.
b) However, right-hand Girls of the center and rear ranks raise their right arms, and perform the
usual dressing with arms straight extending to the front.
c) To ensure good dressings, the upper arms must remain in line with shoulders even if the fists
cannot reach the chest.
Fist facing in.
Figure 13
3.8 (C) Arm Placement

If girls’ intervals are smaller than a full-arm’s length before the execution of the Lurus (dress), the
front-rank Member will raise their arms behind the backs of the Girls on their right/left and then
correct the interval on the second movement.
This also applies for half arm interval dressing where the elbows will be placed behind the backs
of the Girls on their right/left.
Figure 14

Arms (or elbows, for half intervals) should never be raised higher or lower than their own
shoulders’ height. When dressing to a taller Member, raise the arm to your own shoulders’ height
and keep it at its full length, not bending it.
Similarly, when dressing to a shorter Member, raise the arm fully so that the tip of the thumb is
just above the shorter Member’s shoulder and not over it. By doing so, the correct intervals are
achieved.
Figure 15
Dressing can also be done from the center, for proving Squad (e.g. “LURUS KE DALAM – LURUS”).
The right and left arms will be raised and the heads turned to the right and left respectively
followed by the second movement.
NOTE: When a Squad is on the move or marking time, dressing and covering are automatically
corrected without any command and without the arms being raised by glancing at the corner of
their eyes without turning heads at all. After the command “HENTI”, and so long as the squad
remains stationary, dressing is carried out only on the appropriate command.

CHAPTER 5
PAYING COMPLEMENTS
The Origin
The salute with the hand, the present arms and the salute with the sword, were methods by which
the person paying a compliment could show the person to whom that compliment was paid that no
offence was meant. They are all gestures, symbolic of loyalty and trust
A. RULES OF SALUTING
The salute is the correct greeting when wearing a full uniform. It is a symbol of discipline, an act
of courtesy and the duty of all officers and girls. When a salute is given to a senior person, the
junior person should only put her hand down after the senior person puts her hand down after
returning the salute.
1) All girls in full uniform must salute all Officers, whether the officers are in full uniform or not.
Officers in full uniform shall return the salute.
2) Officers in full uniform shall salute their superiors and the salute be returned if the latter is
also in full uniform. Officers of the same rank do not salute to each other.
3) Girls in uniform should salute their Officers upon arrival at company meetings.
4) A Young Leader or girl who is seated will stand at attention and salute (if wearing beret) when
senior Officers approach. If several girls are seated or standing around, the most senior Young
Leader or most senior girl will call the whole group to attention (SKUAD – SEDIA) and she
alone will salute.
5) Member addressing or being addressed by their superiors must stand at attention.
6) A member, wishing to address her superior Officer, shall march up to her and salute. To
withdraw, the member shall salute again and make a right/left turn and march off.
7) When assembling in large number for Officers parades or meetings, saluting on passing in the
street may be omitted.
8) Salute will not be given inside the Church, Shop, Railway Station, at public conveyances, or
where it may cause inconvenience to others.
9) When on parade, all Officers will salute their Senior Officers, who will return the salute. A
salute may be made to two or more Officers, will be returned by the most senior officer only,
only if all are the same rank, by the nearest only.
10) A member saluting a superior Officer shall continue saluting until the Officer acknowledges.
11) An Officer seated at the table conducting a Young Leader’s Examination (or other Tests) do
NOT return the salute given by the candidates. Candidates salute upon entering and leaving
the room.
12) A Squad marching past an Officer shall be commanded to “PANDANG KANAN/KIRI”
accordingly (unless the commander is an Officer superior to the formatter Officer). An Officer
being complemented in this way shall acknowledge.
13) Caps must always be worn at any formal function and parade ground.
14) Young Leaders should not salute Young Leaders. Similarly, Girls should not salute Young
Leaders.
15) Individual Officers, if passing or approaching an uncased colour will salute.
B. USE OF SIR/MA’AM
1) As a rule, “Sir/Ma’am” is used in speaking either officially or socially to any senior.
2) Commissioned officers of all services are to be addressed as either “SIR/MA’AM” or by their
rank.
3) The word is repeated with each complete statement. “Yes” and “No” should always be
accompanied with “Sir/Ma’am”.

C. METHOD OF SALUTING

v. If the command “DAN BERHENTI” (at the halt) is included, the Squad will halt
on completion with 2 quick stamps (LEFT, RIGHT) without the check pace. If not,
the Squad will mark time without bringing the left foot next to the right foot.
Example: “TUKAR HALUAN KE KANAN DAN BERHENTI – TUKAR. CEPAT – JALAN”
Diagram 42
NOTE:
1. In changing direction to the outer flank, the command “DARI KIRI/KANAN” will precede
(come first) the preliminary command, hence the directing flank being temporarily
changed.
2. When changing direction, there should not be any missing member in the leading rank.
If there is a blank file without both centre and rear rank members when retiring, the
front-rank Member will move two paces forward into the rear rank immediately after
turning about, before the Commander gives further commands.

point. The inner Member (of the pivot rank) will wheel through 90 degrees on a quarter circle
radius of 24 inches. She must shorten her pace (but not her rate of marching) and the outer
Member lengthens her pace so that dressing is maintained throughout. Arms should be fully
swung (except in slow time).
Common Mistakes
a) Not wheeling at the same point as the leading file or rank.
b) Inner flank not swinging arm fully.
c) Turning the head in order to maintain dressing.
d) The rear file girls tend to move away from the column.
e) The loss of formation because the rear file girls do not measure their movements.
f) Wheeling is not 90 degrees. A semi-circle turn was created instead.
NOTE: If the Squad has been ordered to halt before it has completed its wheeling, Members who
have not wheeled will immediately cover those who have.
For wheeling through more than 90 degrees, the command will be repeated. For wheeling
through less than 90 degrees, the command “MAJU” will be given at the desired degrees of
direction after the command “BELOK”.
When wheeling to the outer flank, the command “DARI KIRI/KANAN” will precede the
preliminary command “TUKAR HALUAN KE KANAN/KIRI”

positions.
NOTE:
1. If the single file is led by the rear rank when reforming into Squad in column of
Threes, change “HADAPAN” to “BELAKANG”. Subsequently, the order of the
commands “BARISAN HADAPAN, HENTAK – KAKI” and “BARISAN BELAKANG,
HENTAK – KAKI” will swap.
2. Each Command is given at the correct time so that the rank concerned is halted in
its correct place.
6.7.2 Reforming to Mark Time

Instead of halting on reforming, the Squad may be made to mark time, in which
“HENTAK KAKI – HENTAK” replaces the command “HENTI”. For the first command,
the command “DAN BERHENTI” is omitted from the preliminary command.
STEP 1 at command “JADIKAN TIGA BARISAN DARI BARISAN HADAPAN,

BARISAN HADAPAN, HENTAK KAKI – HENTAK”

CHAPTER 7
COMPANY PARADE
A. ROLL CALL
Company Roll Call may vary from Company to Company, but it is important that a high standard
be set at the commencement of the Roll Call.
The following Roll Call commands and procedures are to be used as a guide by GB companies.
Modifications are allowed to accommodate to the size of the Company.
B. PREPERATION
The Orderly Squad (Squad on duty) or the Commander should prepare the Roll Call square at least
half an hour before the stated time of Roll Call and be responsible for making sure that the Roll
Call square is cleared after the Roll Call.
C. PURPOSE
The standard of the Fall-In will, to a large extend set the mood for the rest of the Parade program.
It should therefore be carried out with utmost efficiency. The company should remain steady
when on Parade and movements should be executed smartly.
D. SQUAD GIRLS
Every company consists of a number of squads (determined by the total number of girls in the
company). Each squad will be headed by a Squad Leader who is the most senior girl in the squad.
The squad leader will maintain the squad roll call book which consists of girls’ particulars -
attendance, names address, etc. This book will be held with the left hand while at ‘Senang Diri’
position to facilitate marching.
POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND
1) All girls will be at SENANG DIRI and silence maintained after the whistle is blown.
2) They are to stand away from the Commander at the right-hand side/ They are already in their
squad rows.
3) All officers will be at SENANG DIRI and silence maintained after the whistle is blown. They are
to stand towards the left and behind the commanding Officer.
4) When in uniform, caps must be worn during Roll Call.
5) The arrangement of the girls are as follows:
Squad Leader >> Members in uniform tallest to the shortest
Note: Members who are not in right attire will be standing a side of the squad and not fall in.
For example, during uniform week members who are not in uniform must form a squad on
its own. Diagram below for reference.

attire
Girls NOT in
the right
attire

Diagram 47
E. COMMANDER
No lower ranking girl should command a Young Leader to fall in. If an opportunity needs to be
presented to a lower ranked girl to take the Roll call, the Young Leaders should fall in forming
another rank behind the last Squad.
Officers do not fall in whenever a girl or young leader is the commander. Officers will only fall in
after the highest-ranking officer takes over the roll call.
At the appointed time, the Company assembles in their own squad forming one line on the left
of the intended Roll Call, facing inwards. The Girls should be standing in ‘Senang Diri’ position,
approximately opposite where their Squads will ultimately be formed.
The Duty Commander will take 13 paces from the Squad Leaders’ alignment, halt and then give
the following commands:

7.1 ROLL CALL
Getting ready
- All girls will be at SENANG DIRI and stand away from the Commander at the right-hand
side. They are already in their squad rows.
- Officers will be at SENANG DIRI and to stand towards the left and behind the commanding

– POINT TO KEEP IN MIND NO. 5

F. INSPECTION
7.3 Purpose
To ensure a high standard of personal cleanliness and upkeep and wearing of uniform, a thorough
and strict inspection should be carried out each week. An inter-Squad competition may prove to
be an incentive to the Girls.
The Captain may inspect the Parade each week, but in larger Companies it is suggested that the
Officers should inspect the Squads in rotation, each taking a different Squad each month.
When inspection Officers approaches the Squad, the Squad Leader will call the Squad to Sedia,
take a pace forward and salute the Officer. After she has been inspected, she should fall out and
escort the Officer on the inspection of her Squad and, on completion salute the Officer and stand
the Squad at Senang Diri.
7.4 Notes for Inspecting Officers

The possible number of points a Squad may gain should be large enough to allow for deductions.
The sample table of inspection and point system can be obtained from Appendix II – D. UNIFORM
INSPECTION, Page 186)
The inspecting Officer should check if the Girls are clean and neat and that their uniform have
been properly washed and pressed, and correctly worn.

7.5 General inspection
The officer will first look at the Squad:
1. The Squad should be standing correctly at attention and not moving.
2. The Squad should be correctly dressed, tallest on the right and shortest on the left.
She will then look at each Member in turn:

1. The Member should be clean and neat.
2. She should be standing properly and not slouching.
3. Her uniform should be clean and pressed. It should fit her properly.
Detailed Inspection: The Girls should be closely inspected in this order:

No. Parts Details
The cap should be worn properly and should fits on the head. It should
be clean and the badge should be correctly positioned and her hair
1. Head
should be tidy. Both should be in accordance to the Uniform
Regulation.
The uniform should be clean and fits on the body. The dress should be
2. Body properly worn and all buttons should be fastened. Ties should be
tightened and hidden under the collar.
4. Sash The sash should be clean and neat. All metal parts should be polished
The belt should be fairly tight and in accordance with the uniform
5. Belt
regulation.
The shoes should be clean and not worn out. They should be tightly
6. Footwear laced (if any). The stockings should be worn with the fold just below
the kneecap.
Table 13
NOTE:
1. No watches are allowed when in full uniform
2. Young Leaders’ lanyards must be attached with a whistle.
3. Core awards should be sewn on the sash and elective awards (badges) should be wiped with
a clean cloth.

CHAPTER 8
COMMANDER
8.1 Rule of Thumb for Commanders
All commanders must have equal or higher rank than those whom are in the squad. There should
not be any situation in which a lower ranking peer should be a commander when there is
someone higher ranked in the squad.
8.2 Words of Command

a) Good drill depends on properly delivered words of command. They are to be pronounced
clearly and distinctly, with confidence and determination, since they convey an order which
is to be promptly obeyed.
b) Whilst a more informal approach may be used during detailed explanation, the SEDIA Position
should always be adopted when giving a command.
c) Commands should be given clearly and sufficiently loud. (There is no need to shout as loudly
as possible)
d) Words of command are divided into two / three parts.
Prepares the Girls for the movement to be performed and shall be
PRELIMINARY
given first.
CAUTION Tells the Girls what to do.
EXECUTIVE Serves as the signal for movement to be carried out.
Table 14
Note: Through this manual, words of command are printed in CAPITAL LETTERS. A dash
separates the cautionary from the executive portion of the command, e.g : CEPAT – JALAN
Example “KE KANAN – PUSING” (Right Turn)

Preliminary - “BERGERAK KE KANAN”
Caution - “KE KANAN”
Executive - “PUSING”
a) The caution should be given deliberately and clearly, which can be extended (dragged) when
necessary. The executive should be given in a short sharp tone to encourage a smart and
immediate response. A slightly higher pitch should also be used for the executive.
b) Certain one-word commands like “SEDIA”, “GERAK”, “PUSING”, “MAJU”, “JALAN”, “HENTI”,
and “BILANG”, are not hyphenated and should be given as though they were moni-syllabic
(one syllabi).
c) “SEMULA” (As you were) is a command that enables a Squad to revert to its previous position
when it has been done incorrectly to a command or when the commander gave the wrong
command.
d) “SKUAD” (Squad) should only be used as an executive command to bring a Squad from the
position of “REHATKAN – DIRI” to “SENANG – DIRI” and “JADIKAN – SKUAD” (Forming
Squad).
e) In any other cases, it shall remain as a preliminary including teaching by the numbers.
For example: “SKUAD – SATU”, “SKUAD – HENTI”, “SKUAD AKAN MENGHADAP KE
HADAPAN / BELAKANG – PUSING” and “SKUAD SEDIA”.
It should NOT be used freely as caution before every other command.
Example of Incorrect “SKUAD” commands:
“Skuad, dari kanan – BILANG” or “SKUAD, SENANG – DIRI” or “SKUAD CEPAT – JALAN”
f) “AWAS” (watch the front) is not a command. However, it is usually used by the Commander
to call the Squad to get ready for a movement from “Rehatkan Diri” to “Senang Diri”.
Example: “AWAS” – Rehatkan Diri Position
“SKUAD” – Senang Diri Position
g) A standard-length pause should always be made between the end of the caution and the
executive. The length of the pause should be: -
At the halt or in quick time - One pace in a quick time
In slow time - One pace in slow time

All commands on the march must be given on the correct foot, e.g. Girls Henti with their right foot
(marking time) and therefore the command is also given on this foot.
a) The smartness of the Company on parade depends upon the way in which the commands are
given by the Instructor. Words of command should be pronounced distinctly and loudly enough
to be heard by all concerned. (Refer to page 121 for Commander’s Voice).
b) Commands should be given smartly and consist of 2 parts, the PREPARATORY COMMAND (or
PRELIMINARY & CAUTION) and the FINAL COMMAND (or COMMAND OF EXECUTION).
i. PREPARATORY COMMAND mentally prepares the girls to execute the movement.
ii. FINAL COMMAND tells the girls when to execute the movement. This command is usually
given more forcibly and in a rising inflection.
Example:
Preparatory Command Final Command
DARI KIRI CEPAT JALAN
*BERGERAK KE KIRI, KE KIRI PUSING
KETUA SKUAD MASUK BARIS
Table 13
*Note: the command BERGERAK KE KIRI, KE KIRI contains two preparatory commands
c) After a commander gives a preparatory command, she may command SEMULA to revoke the
command but once she gives the final command, any revocation will be improper and girls should
execute the movement in the best possible way. An exception to the rule will be – if the squad
knew that the command is wrong and they don’t execute it.
d) However, the command SEMULA may be given to enable a squad to resume its previous position
when it has executed a command incorrectly.
e) The commands will be printed in CAPITAL LETTER and in bold or underlined (to show the
preparatory and final commands) throughout the manual. You may use the following rules to
help you while giving out commands:
f) ALL commands given by the commander must be from the position of attention.
g) For marching commands, you may move simultaneously with the unit to maintain correct
position.
h) When marching, give commands in the direction of the squad. The commander may turn her
body or her face to face the squad.

8.3 Commander’s Voice
A good command voice helps to ensure that girls carry out their orders immediately and
correctly. As a leader, learn to give commands so that your girls clearly understand you and
respond with immediate action.
8.3.1 Voice Control

Loudness is the key factor in tone control. The command must be loud enough for the
girls to hear. The command voice should come from the diaphragm. The throat, mouth
and nose act as amplifiers to give fullness and projection to the voice. Your voice must
have carrying power, but excessive exertion is unnecessary and harmful.
A typical result of trying too hard is the tightening of the neck muscles to force the sound
out. This produces strain, hoarseness, sore throat and worst of all, indistinct and jumbled
sound instead of clear commands.
Good voice control can be achieved through good posture, proper breathing, correct
adjustment of throat & mouth muscles and confidence. The best posture for giving
commands is the position of attention.
8.3.2 Distinctiveness
Distinctiveness depends on the correct use of the tongue, lips and teeth to form the
separate sounds of a word. Distinct commands are effective while indistinct commands
cause confusion.
To develop the ability to give clear and distinct commands, practice them slowly and
carefully, prolonging the syllables. Then gradually increase the rate of delivery to develop
proper cadence, but still pronouncing each syllable distinctly.
8.3.3 Inflection
Inflection is the rise and fall in pitch and the tone changes of the voice. Pronounce each
preparatory command with a rising inflection. As shown on the preceding pages, the most
desirable pitch when beginning a preparatory command is near the level of the natural
speaking voice.
When giving the final command, use a sharper tone and a slightly higher pitch than the
last syllable of the preparatory command. Remember, the best way to develop a
command voice is to practice. In combined commands, such as “MASUK – BARIS” or
“KELUAR – BARIS”, give them without inflection and with the uniform high pitch and
loudness of a normal command of execution (final command).
8.3.4 Cadence
Cadence is the uniform and rhythmic flow of words. Intervals between the words make
the preparatory command understandable and signal when to expect the final command.
8.3.5 The Snap of Command Voice and Movement

After the leader gives a command, there is a brief time between the end of the final
command and the time when girls execute the move.
The inflection of the command voice at the end of the final command should draw an
immediate, sharp, and precise movement (or snap) to this command. If done properly,
everyone in the unit moves at the same time — creating an impressive, well-drilled, and
uniform appearance. Effective leaders depend on the command voice to show confidence
in their ability to command.
8.3.6 Conclusion
Proper execution of commands and command voice takes practice. But when leaders
know their responsibilities and prepare for drill, they will discover that being a drill leader
is a lot easier.

CHAPTER 10
DRILL COMPETITIONS
While it is common to have drill competitions in individual companies, competitions in the regional
and national levels have not become part of our GB culture. Drill competitions should be viewed as
an exhibition drill and encouraged as an avenue to showcase our discipline and skills in drill to
parents, church members and the public.
Drill for girls may not necessarily be inclined to be too physically challenging nor do they naturally
take on a tough stance during training. However, that does not mean girls cannot achieve excellence
in drill.
10.1 Spirit Of Esprit De Corps

The spirit of esprit de corps can be cultivated through serious and committed training for
competitions. Many times, the idea of hard work and challenges puts us off from putting in
extra time for drill training but for those who say “Yes” to the training, a new found bond of
commitment is unbreakable. The responsibility towards each one in the team and *pride
towards one’s company is the ultimate expression of esprit de corps.
*pride towards one’s company should not be view as arrogance, but rather it is an expression
of love and loyalty in a tangible way)
10.2 Through Discipline and Training

Motivation may be the key word to encourage someone to do something but it is discipline
and training that help us achieve results by giving our best.
Trainings for drill competitions should never be viewed as harsh disciplining. Trainings for
competition should be planned carefully after assessing and understanding your team
members’ ability and skills in drill.
[Practical training guides: Steps to Better Training for a Drill Competition will be given at the
National Drill Camp]

10.3 Are Drill Competitions Promoting the Spirit of Competitiveness?
This is often the negative view we have at every drill competition as there is a champion
trophy to be won. We should be careful of what kind of values we instill in our GB girls as
they prepare for a drill competition. While we want them to be motivated to perform well by
participating in drill competition(s), we do not want to puff up their pride by telling them that
they are the best or they are the champion regardless of whether they have won a prize or
not. The goal for every team is to strive for excellence instead of eyeing solely for the trophy.
10.4 Drill Sequence / Routine

Refer to Appendix I for sample of Drill Competition Commands and Sequence.
Drill Officers may plan a set of drill sequence according to the girls’ ability. The drill sequence
should be discussed with the National Drill Officer.
10.5 Decisions
A drill officer may include silent drill, drill down, fancy drill etc. as a variation to pre-prepared
drill steps for competitions. Do bear in mind that competitions should be planned as close as
possible according to the girls’ ability as we do not want them to be overwhelmed in executing
steps that they could not handle. Do note that no matter what combinations you have
chosen, a drill competition is a show case of girls’ skills and competence in drill and the
competition is to give a “WOW!” factor not only to the participants but also to the spectators
and judges.
10.6 Judging the Judges

How many times have we commented on the judging skills of the judges? Therefore, it is
appropriate that we dealt with that issue here to understand the role and responsibilities of
the judges and learn how to be a better judge.
An ideal judging panel for a drill competition will include four judges and one
penalty/technical judge.
The four judges shall be stationed at the four different sides of the competition ground with
the exception of the penalty/technical judge who is allowed to move around the competition
ground.
10.7 Standard Operation Procedure for Judges
a) Judges’ Responsibilities
1. Every item on the score sheet must be given a score. No items should be left blank!
2. Judges may only be changed during an event in the case of an emergency or as
permitted by the Organiser.
3. In the event of such an emergency every effort will be made so that the score of the
replacement judge is consistent with the previous judge’s standards.
4. Judges are not to change their “standard” during an event. If a judge starts as a
Hard/Easy score, then all teams should be judged on the same standard subsequently.
There should not be any leniency given to any team due to their individual
circumstances or based on the team’s previous experiences.
5. The four judges should score each event (plus the Penalty/Technical Judge’s score).
The lowest score will be discarded and the three remaining scores will be averaged
out to determine the winners. In the event where there are only three judges
available, the lowest score will NOT be discarded. In the event of a tie between two or
more teams, the score sheets of all four judges will be used to break the tie. If a second
tie occurs, the highest and lowest scores will be discarded with the two remaining
scores averaged to determine the winners. If a tie still occurs the score of the Head
Judge will be used to break the tie. If a tie still exists, additional trophies will be
awarded.
b) Criteria for Judging

Criteria for judging should be determined in the very beginning and be made available to
all teams and judges so that all parties are aware of the judging criteria and be better
prepared for the event. List of detailed criteria for judging will be given and discussed in
detail at every National Drill Camp.
c) The Penalty/Technical Judge

The penalty judge will be responsible for time (late, exceeding competition time limit etc.),
boundary and any penalty in violation of competition rules.

d) Marking Sheet
Refer to appendix II for sample marking sheet which covers uniform inspection and overall
competition sequence.
e) Team Composition
A team must consist of a minimum of 10 members. The ten members must be at a
minimum consist of a team commander and nine squad members. Teams must be in full
uniform throughout the competition.
f) Competition Ground / Area

The competition ground must be on a concrete or asphalt surface.
g) Drill Competition Procedures

The drill sequence must be committed to memory. Missed or additional commands will
result in a penalty. In addition, any commands called while out of bound will not be
counted.
Upon direction of the head judge, the team commander will march the team into the drill
competition ground and halt centered on the head judge. Face the team towards the
judge and report in. Judging will begin at this time. Grading and timing will cease when
the team commander report out to the head judge. A penalty will be deducted from the
drill score sheet for over time limits.
No matter what the position of the team commander or team may be, the head judge will
acknowledge the report out by returning the team commander’s salute. The head judge
will then direct the team commander to move the team from the area. The team
commander will exit the team through the opposite end of the area from which they
entered.

The Colour orderlies fall in side by side, three paces to the left of the Colour party.

11.4 INSPECTION
To ensure a high standard of personal cleanliness and upkeep and wearing of uniform, a
thorough and strict inspection should be carried out each week or on the weeks that uniform
is worn or monthly. An inter squad competition may prove to be an incentive to the girls.
The captain may inspect the parade on that week, but in larger companies, it is suggested that
the Officers should inspect the squads in rotation, each taking a different squad each month.
All the Officers are to carry out the inspection of squads simultaneously.
When the inspection Officers approaches the squad, the Squad Leader will call the squad to
attention, take a pace forward and salute the Officer. After she has been inspected, she
should fall out and accompany the Officer on the inspection of her squad, and on completion,
salute the Officer and stand the squad at ease.
The following example for inspection may be followed for a parade / special function:
After the command for “BUKA BARISAN – GERAK”, the commander will fall out and report to
the captain / Officer In Charge saying:
“Selamat pagi, Tuan / Puan, Briged Puteri Kompeni Ke ___ seramai ____ ahli siap sedia
untuk di periksa, Tuan / Puan”
After the inspection, she will say
“Terima Kasih Tuan / Puan, minta Kebenaran untuk menjalankan tugas selanjutnya, Tuan /
Puan”
NOTE: If the column is in twos, the rear rank move, front rank remains.
11.4.1 General Inspection
The officer will first look at the squad:
▪ The squad should be standing correctly at attention and not moving.
▪ The squad should be correctly dressed, tallest on the right and shortest on the
left.
The officer will then look at each girl in turn:
▪ The girl should be clean and neat.
▪ She should be standing properly and not slouching.
▪ Her uniform should be fitting, clean and pressed.
11.4.2 Detail Inspection / Uniform Checking
The girls should be closely inspected starting from the head, with the cap and move
on down to the tie, belt and footwear. Refer to page 186 for uniform Inspection –
Check list.
11.5 PROCEDURES IN RECEIVING AWARD / PRIZE OR REPORTING
1. March forward to the award / prize presenter and halt two steps away, in front of him/her.
2. Salute. If an Officer in full uniform is presenting the award/prize, she (the officer) will
return the salute. The girl can only bring her hand down after the officer brings hers down.
Non-officer presenting the award need not return the salute.
3. Refer to 5.3 on page 83 - Receiving Prizes (Menerima Hadiah)
4. Option is to turn right / left (depends on the arrangements of the individual company) or
about-turn, then march back to the original position smartly. Remember not to swing your
left arm which is holding the award/prize.
NOTE: There is no need to take a step forward when reporting.
If a girl/officer is required to leave her rank (when she is in a squad), she will come to
attention, take a step backwards, right turn marches and wheeling to the Officer In Charge
halts 2 paces and report. She will turn left and march back to her position from the left of the
Squad, half behind her vacant spot, turn left and take a step forward to resume her position.
11.5.1 Fall Out Individually
When an individual girl needs to fall out from the squad, she should take one step
backward with the left leg and turn right and marches out of the column. Thereafter
she may be excused.
If she needs to fall out just to adjust her attire, she would take a step backward with
the left leg. After the adjustment, fall into line again by taking one step forward with
the left leg.
11.5.2 Asking / Answering Question / Raising Hands
Having fallen in, the girl may only do the above in SEDIA position. If not, she should
bring herself to the SEDIA position and having done the above, return to the original
position (either SENANG DIRI or REHATKAN DIRI).

11.5.3 Shouting “YES, MA’AM”
When an Officer asks a question, and expects the above answer, the whole squad (or
all the girls concerned) should shout “YES, MA’AM” together. This may be done in any
position.
11.6 COMPANY COLOUR PARADE

The following procedures are carried out during enrolment service or any other special
functions which require the Colour Party and a full parade. Before the day of the parade, it is
assumed that rehearsals had already been carried out and every girl and officer is aware of
her role and position. The band should also be aware of their role and position.
The Company is drawn up in Line, with the Colour Party and Band (if any), if on Parade, in
convenient positions depending on the size and shape of the hall / field.

CHAPTER 12
FORMATION AND SILENT DRILL
A. FORMATION DRILL
Formation drill is widely used in schools for competitions, as it is part of their creativity of drill.
There are no restrictions on the types of movements a team performs for its drill formation
routine; however, precision, cadence, bearing, head and eye movement, and execution are
among the criteria used for grading.
1. Begin and end facing front (middle of the Drill Competition Ground).
2. Move into 4 different formations
3. Cheer should be done at the end of 2nd Formation.
• non-drill body movements are allowed at this point. E.g. Squatting, bending, raising of
arms, etc
4. Rules while moving into formations
• Only drill movements stated in the drill manual are allowed.
• For example: - Quick March / Slow March - Hentak Kaki - Separa Jarak pusing (45
Degree turn) - Belok kiri / kanan - Langkah kiri / kanan / belakang / depan – Hormat
• No props are allowed even for the group cheer.
Formation drill is a form of creativeness in the drill approach. It can and may be accompanied
by music, and drill steps can be choreographed following the music to suit that pace and
tempo.
B. SILENT DRILL
This form of drill must be carefully planned according to the number of steps before each turn
is made and so forth.
No commands are given and all the steps would have to be memorized by each of the
members. Formation is accepted however fancy drill moves such as removing caps, and other
hand gestures are now allowed.

DRILL SEQUENCE
A. BEGINNER (JUNIOR SECTION)
Note:
1. This drill sequence is suitable for Junior Section Competition.
2. During drill camp for training purpose, we may use this sequence as a guide and goal for the
beginner squad.
3. The commands are:
a) Focused on Fall IN because we want to emphasize on the proper falling in steps and
sequence as well as doing it properly. Do note that for senior level they are assumed to
already have mastered this, therefore there's no need for inspection of falling in, rather
we concentrate on judging their skills in drill.
b) Stationary Drill to check on their mastery in listening and directions skills.
c) Marching is very much simplified and direct so that they concentrate in mastering ke
belakang pusing and tukar langkah as well as coordination in marching in line and learn
to check spacing.
NOTE: Uniform inspection should be done together before the squad march into the competition
area.

DRILL CAMP PROGRAM
COMPANY LEVEL
• To help girls in the company understand the purpose of drill
• To identify a group of company drill trainers – Young Leaders, Pioneers or Seniors and ensure that
these group of drill trainers are well equipped.
• Company level drill camps are also recommended. If the company is small or not capable to teach
drill, then a combined camp of 2 companies or more should be done. Alternatively, reach out to
National Drill Officers for recommendation.
STATE LEVEL
• State drill camps to filter through the attendees to see if they are qualified to attend the National
Drill Camp to be drill instructors. Each region to appoint an officer to oversee the state Drill
matters.
• To allow girls that do not have basic knowledge in drill to attend the camp to learn from scratch
starting with the basics so that they are able to bring the learning back to their own company for
practice and further polish by their own drill trainers.
• Upon completing this level of camp / training, girls can participate in State / Regional Level drill
competition. The purpose of having a camp before a competition is so that all companies from
the same states have standardized drill and smaller companies can participate as well.
• Below is the suggested drill program for reference.
• The Individual drill assessment should be included in the

registration form to allow girls to identify themselves and their
own capabilities.
Drill Assessment • We can then group the girls according to what they categorize
themselves as and assess the girls accordingly.
• The assessment should be carried out at the beginning of the
camp.
• Upon assessing the girls, the drill trainer confirms the girls in the
respective category and the drill practices should be carried out.
• Drill trainers should refer to 2.4 – Hints to Drill Instructors, Officers
Drill Practical / YL-Commanders as a guide during the training.
• The aim and objective during the practical training should be clear.
Below are some examples:

Beginner Squad - By the end of the camp, they should be able to
execute a certain list of movements / sequence.
Intermediate Level 1 Squad – By the end of the camp, they should
be able to execute a certain list of movements which they do not
know before participating in the camp and is able to execute drill
sequence from intermediate level 1.
Intermediate Level 2 Squad – By the end of the camp, they should
be able to execute the list of Drill Competition sequence with
perfect sharpness and smartness. During the camp, if the squad is
good enough, we can even set a target for them to execute simple
formation and execute it during the Practical test.
During the drill, practical test, every squad from different category will
need to execute their respected drill sequence as part of their test. If
the group is big enough to have at least 4 squads per category, we are
able to judge each squad and identify the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place as part
of their test.
Upon completing the squad test, individual drill down can be executed
as we are able to gauge girl’s performance and ability to process
learned information.
• During the Drill Theory classes, trainers will have to cover the
following:
1. Purpose of Drill
2. Drill Terminology and Definitions
3. Learning Discipline through Drill
4. Uniform and Behaviour
5. Rules of Saluting
6. Commanding Voice & Commander’s Role
7. Company Roll Call & Dismissal
8. Preparing for Drill Competition
9. Judging a Drill Competition
10. Lesson Planning for Drill Teaching
Drill Theory
The Drill Theory Test Should Covers the Below:

SECTION A Drill Terminology and Definitions (Objective)
SECTION B Drill Terminology and Definitions (Subjective)
SECTION C Drill Commands and Applications
SECTION D Drill Planning Lessons
SECTION E Discussion - Group
SECTION F Understanding on Uniform Checks, Rules For Saluting
and Commanding Voice.
Note: Do reach out to the National Drill officer for guidance and
reference if you have any questions.

NATIONAL LEVEL
1. The National Drill Camp main objective is to focus on training the Drill instructors and teaching
new steps with creative drill and formation.
2. National Drill camp should be a place for Instructors and girls who are well equipped with drill
knowledge to attend so that we could come together and enhance GBM Drill together.
3. Drill Theory knowledge for all Drill Instructors.
4. Formation Drill in GB.
5. At this level, all drill officers from the 5 regions – North, Central, South, Sarawak and Sabah should
send in their representative to take part in this camp. Officers & Young Leaders who are qualified
from different companies can also be part of this program.
SUMMARY OF THE DRILL CAMP STRUCTURE
Purpose : To train instructors and teaching new steps in creative drill

National Drill
Camp and formation.
Person in Charge : National Drill Officer
Purpose : To qualify girls and officers for the National Drill Camp.
State Level Drill Person in Charge : Drill Instructors (under the supervision of National
Camp
Drill Officer)
Purpose : To prepare the girls to attend state level drill camp.

Company Drill Camp /
Combine Company Drill Person in Charge : Drill Instructors / Officers (under the supervision of
Camp National Drill Officer)

THE IMPORTANCE OF DRILL THEORY
1. Good instructors must understand why are certain steps being done and how are they being
done.
2. Girls / Officers that manage to execute the drill steps perfectly does not mean that they are fit to
train / teach.
3. Trainers require another level of knowledge to be able to feed those with zero knowledge of drill
as well as improving those who already have a certain background of drill.
4. Imagine, if a girl were to ask a trainer why are we doing drill? Typical answer given will be –
because is part of GB program.
5. As mentioned in the drill manual, the purpose of drill in Girls’ Brigade Malaysia is to train girls to
have self-discipline and control over their own bodies, to work as a team and to develop a sense
of duty towards each other with the end purpose of achieving the spirit of esprit de corps.
6. Understand the difference between disciplining vs punishment in drill.
7. Relating biblical values in Drill.

To be able to test the alertness of the girls
during drill as wrong commands are given
on purpose.
• Drill down should only be used when there are not more than 16 people in a team. (if in any
case, there are more than 16 people, break them into smaller groups to take turns)

Company Level
• Drill down can be used at this level to identify the competency of the individual girls and place
them in different teams.
• For companies with a large number of girls, it is recommended to have at least 3 different
groups for drill – Beginner, intermediate level 1 and intermediate level 2. This is to provide a
platform for the girls to progress stage by stage and not let those who are not catching up tp
slow them down during the training process.
• For companies with smaller number of girls, at least 2 group for drill squads are recommended
- Beginner and Intermediate.
State/ Regional Level

• Here, we recommend to get the drill instructors and officers to help identify these group of
girls and sort them out according to their abilities. The girls who attends these events are also
expected to be senior girls and above. We think that the girls should self-assess their own
capabilities and have instructors / officers to re-assess them. This allows for two-way
communication.
National Level
• Drill down should NOT be held at this level to identify the competency simply because those
who are attending should already know their own drill level. Their aim in attending the camp
should be to brush up on their training skills and not learn basic drill from scratch.
