This captures the state-of-practice the state-of-knowledge and the state-of-the-art during the later phases of the Second World War and has been informed by the experiences of United States Army and other military land forces engaged in vigorous combat in varied geographic locations and diverse conditions. The drill prescribed herein was designed for general use and could be adapted to any type of units. Stress should be place on precision in execution of the manual of arms and in marching in step with proper alinement. Nothing inspires the military spirit more than to see or to be a part of a compact group moving in unison confidently and to a measured cadence. The purposes of the drill to enable the commander to move his command in an orderly manner to aid in disciplinary training to enhance the morale through ceremonies and to give junior officers and noncommissioned officers practice in commanding troops. Foot drill is a part of the training regimen of organized military and paramilitary elements worldwide. "Foot drill" or "Drill" stems from time since antiquity when soldiers would march into battle be expected to gather in a formation and react to words of command from their commanders once the battle commenced. Much of the drill done today is either ceremonial or implemented as a core part of training in the armed forces. Military discipline is enhanced by drill as it requires instant obedience to commands and synchronized completion of said commands with the others in the unit. Drill proved useful when marching formations of soldiers cross-country. For example officers could form men from an eight-wide route march formation to a two-wide formation for passing through gates and other narrow passages without losing time or cohesion. Drill was used to efficiently maneuver formations around and through obstacles. Drill was often used as a forerunner to great battles; during them it justified itself. It was also utilized after battles where quick restoration of the corporate unity of an element was required. United States military drill originated in 1778 as part of a training program implemented by Baron Friedrich von Steuben to improve the discipline and organization of soldiers serving in the Continental Army. The following year Baron von Steuben by then a Major General and the Inspector General of the Continental Army wrote the Army's first field manual "The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States" which has come to be more commonly known as the "Blue Book". The methods of drill that von Steuben initiated remained largely unchanged between their inception and the time of the American Civil War. One major change to come about since that time is that troops now march at a cadence of 120 steps per minute instead of the original 76 steps per minute at the time of the American Revolution. The stated aim of drill is to "enable a commander or noncommissioned officer to move his unit from one place to another in an orderly manner; to aid in disciplinary training by instilling habits of precision and response to the leader's orders; and to provide for the development of all soldiers in the practice of commanding troops." Between branches of the military as well as between the military forces of various countries the methods of drill will vary. In the United States Armed Forces the basis of drill procedures can be traced to von Steuben's "Blue Book". Drill is most commonly seen at ceremonial and public functions and has evolved into something of an art-form. Many nations have dedicated Drill Teams. The Military Service Publishing Co hardcover
