Battle Drills are fundamental combat skills in which all Soldiers – regardless of rank, component, or military occupational specialty -- must maintain proficiency to fight and win on the battlefield. They are the foundation upon which combat training builds and are the primary focus of tactical training for both officers and enlisted Soldiers during initial military training.
Battle Drills are group/collective skills designed to teach a unit to react and accomplish the mission in common combat situations. Examples include react to ambush, react to chemical attack, and evacuate wounded personnel from a vehicle.
