The Basic Drill is what all individual soldiers are supposed to perform if they come under "effective fire".
The basic drill goes as follows:
- run two or three steps
- drop to the ground or into cover
- crawl a few yards (or move under concealment/cover)
- observe
- shoot (identified targets of opportunity within effective range)
- move
- observe
- shoot
- move
- repeat until issued orders
The basic drill is designed to get a soldier into cover, move him from the last position where they were likely to be seen by the enemy, and get him engaging any targets within range that he can see. For example, to provide a few simple steps for him to follow under stress that will keep him alive and positively engaged until his commander makes an appreciation and issues instructions.
