Training and Drill This chapter goes over some training and drill that you would do in regiments. Faces Left Face = 90° turn left Right face = 90° turn right About face = 180° turn Right incline = 45° turn right Left incline = 45° turn left Center face = Face towards the closest 90 degree angle towards where the host is; Forward and 180 degrees from starting face is prioritized in the case that this is given in an incline. Control eyes = Keep facing towards the instructor until he says "Center face" Dress face = T Eyes front = (Only for going out of dress face, Center face is also valid) Gun Commands EVERY command is only valid in the case that it can be reached by only pressing maximum one key bind. (This means that you can not go into port arms from rest arms for example) Shoulder arms = Equip your weapon / Return weapon to original position. Make ready = Left click. Present = F. Salute = V. Pull back your hammer = Left click. (while in present, without making ready.) Fire = Left click while in present, and hammer is pulled back. Rest arms = H. Advance arms = G. Port arms = J. Slope arms = N. Fix bayonet = B. Charge arms = X. Support arms = L. Trail arms = K. Ground arms = Unequip. (Valid regardless of what gun command you are in prior.) Free aim (3rd person only) = Y. At Ease = Z. Attention = Z. (Drop at ease.) Prime and Load = R. Recover = Make ready after prime and loading. Firing Commands Volley fire = Fire at the same time Parade fire = Aim 45° up and fire at the same time Blanket fire X sheets = Keep firing X times, when you are done, you must say "Done, [RANK]!" Ripple fire = Fire one by one, starting from the officer's position Fire & Advance = After the first line fires, the second line must advance Fire at will = Keep firing, prime and loading, making ready, presenting and firing again indefinitely until given the command "Cease fire". Cease fire = Stop firing for fire at will. When you have multiple ranks (rows), your commands will only apply to the first rank unless otherwise specified. The term "Company" is valid when directing a command towards everyone in a stagger. At the end of the training, a quiz should be conducted to make sure they paid attention. NCOs should use a Training Comms channel for Recruitment Trainings.Formations The hardest element to understand (stagger) is what is explained in this quick 3 minute video: https://youtu.be/NEdOJ6Jf-Jw As a general rule of thumb, left is prioritized for formations, this means that when forming a stagger, it is done from left to right, same goes for rank order, and same goes for any odd numbers in an arrowhead. Shoulder To Shoulder (STS) Single File Line (SFL) The spacing in an SFL should be wide enough to the point that people should be able to do an individual face at any perpendicular angle (right or left face), and then they would be in a STS, without touching each others shoulders. As shown in image 2. Image 1: Image 2: Form (Direction) Picture below if of a form right on the officer to the far left (in the image this is to the middle). This could also be considered as a form left from the perspective of the MP to the far right (of the line, in the image it is far left) Stagger It is recommended to watch this 3 minute video going over all necessary elements to stagger: https://youtu.be/NEdOJ6Jf-Jw (Can be even or odd) Image 1 is an even stagger. Staggers is defined as being even, if every other person counting from the left, has an even number and are in the second rank. This means that the person to the FAR left of the formation will always be in front, and all the even numbers (2,4,6,etc) are in the second rank. For odd staggers, this is reversed, meaning that the person to the FAR left of the formation is always moved back. Whereas the person second most to the far left of the formation  is always in the front. (Image 2) Image 1 Image 2 Arrowhead Left is prioritized, opposite shoulders need to be aligned with the person in front of you. Wedge A good reference for how to form a wedge is how you would put out bowling pins, increasing by one person in each rank the number of ranks you move back, it can also be noted that the first rank has 1 person, 2nd rank has 2 people, 3rd rank has 3 people, and 4th rank has 4 people, and so on. This pattern will repeat infinitely until there are no more people to form. In the case that a rank can not be completely filled, forming towards the centre of the wedge is prioritized for the back rank. The spacing is a bit tighter compared to arrowhead, a reference is that half of a should and half of a torso should be aligned with people in front of you. Box Prioritized sides this means that the number of people will be dispersed as follows, for example if there is only one individual other than the host, they will form to the front, if there are two, it will be front and back, and so on. After there is a person on each side, the distribution loop restarts: Front: 1 Back: 2 Left: 3 Right: 4 (Direction) Wheel (Halt when told halt OR always stop at a perpendicular angle (90 degree angle) from original position) (2776) Right wheel - YouTubeInspections Inspections occur every month/month and a half. It is a form of drilling that it used to grade regiments from top to bottom on The Continental Army's Drill, NCO corps, Officer corps, and it's HICOM. Listed below is what to expect when attending an inspection. 1. Stage I of Inspections - Overall Regimental Performance with Drilling and Discipline. Examples: Firing Commands, Gun Commands, Faces, Formations, etc. In person.2. Stage II of Inspections - Officer Overalls/Grades. On Spreadsheet.3. Stage III of Inspections - Overall Regimental Grades. Examples: F=Failing Regiment. D=Terrible Regiment. C=Average Regiment. B=Stable/Above Average Regiment. A=Typically an Elite/Very Great Regiment. On Spreadsheet.Below this text is the NEWER example of different grading Keys that I use for Stage I of Inspections. Everything is graded highly off attendance. What I mean by this is...rallying 15 members and not making a single mistake is very great. However, rallying 40+ members and doing the same thing...well let's just say the regiment with 15 members just got blown out of the water. I get this question a lot...what is the highest score a regiment can achieve? The answer is, there isn't a max score. Why? It's because of attendance. For every Low ranking member the regiment is given 3 points, for NCOs it's 5, for Officers it's 8, and for HICOM members it's 10. So just for example, if a regiment rallies a total of 40 people, with there being 20 Lrs, 12 NCOs, 6 Officers, and 2 HICOM members...there score would be equal to 188. This is why attendance is so important. With a rally of 40 members and slight mistakes, a regiment could very easily score 700+ for a total score. The Blunt of your score is based on heavy attendance. Based on regimental performance HQ gives you a grade of 1-8. If you got an 8, I will convert it with your attendance. So this is reffering back to big rally numbers. If a regiment with 15 members scores an 8 on gun commands, the highest they get without subtraction is a 35/45 being the max. However, if another regiment who rallies 40 get's an 8..their conversion is a high 120+ EASILY.
