The U.S. Army's New Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills are effective as of March 2010

Whats new?
In March 2010 the U.S Army Training and Doctrine Command published the new Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills (WTBD) which cut back
significantly from the previous list of warrior tasks. The new list is made up of 15 Warrior Tasks along with 76 Subtasks and only 4 Battle
Drills. The new warrior tasks and Battle Drills Consist of the Following categories:
Shoot, Move, Communicate, Survive and Adapt

The Army finally produced a new set of warrior tasks and Battle Drills in response to the lessons learned in the battle fields of Iraq and
Afghanistan as well as feedback from the Soldiers, many who said that the old warrior tasks and battled drills were not relevant to the
actual real world missions. The old tasks contained 32 tasks and 207 subtasks along with 12 Battle drills so you can see the reduction is
significant.  
 

More about Army Warrior Tasks and
Battle Drills
Warrior Tasks 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 (IMT).

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.

What has the Army done?
WTBD increase the relevance of training to current combat requirements and enhance the rigor in training. The driving force behind the
change was lessons learned from Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), and comments from OIF/OEF
veterans. The WTBD continue to evolve to meet the needs of the operational Army. For example all Soldiers graduating from BCT and
OSUT are certified in combat lifesaving.

BCT and OSUT train all WTBD.

In Advanced Individual Training (AIT), selected WTBD [urban operations, react to man-to-man contact, convoy operations (convoy live-fire
for OD, TC, QM, MI, SC), advanced rifle marksmanship, and rifle qualification if the AIT is longer than 23 weeks] are reinforced. Additionally,
AIT school commandants may retrain any of the WTBD they deem critical to specific specialties.

Why is this important to the Army?
As combat situations can occur anywhere on the battlefield, it is important that all Soldiers possess fundamental combat skills. WTBD
produce Soldiers who are better prepared to fight on today's battlefield and immediately upon arrival to their first unit of assignment.
