These people train like Roman gladiators!

According to Wikipedia, recruit training varies by nation according to the national requirement and can be voluntary or mandatory. Approximately 100 nations, including the United Kingdom and United States, have a volunteer military service.

In voluntary service an individual chooses to join and thereby agrees to be subjected to the process of building an organization in which each life depends on the next person. The voluntary status has changed the culture of military service.

Recruit training is oriented to the particular service. Army and Marine recruits are nearly always trained in basic marksmanship with individually assigned weapons, field maintenance of weapons, physical fitness training, first aid, and basic survival techniques.

Navy and Coast Guard training usually focuses on water survival training, physical fitness, basic seamanship, and such skills as shipboard firefighting, basic engineering, and signals. Air force training usually includes physical fitness training, military and classroom instructions, and field training in basic marksmanship and first aid.

In all training, standard uniforms are issued and recruits typically have their hair cut or shaved in order to meet grooming standards and homogenize their appearances. Recruits are generally given a service number. Recruit training must merge divergent trainees often from different levels of culture and society into a useful team.

A national basic training will include provision for the basic needs of the recruit and they will meet certain unit standards and unit requirements, such as ‘mobility’ for an infantry unit. A recruit therefore will be ‘issued’ basic provisions or equipment according to the requirements of the unit and taught responsible management of these provisions.

Recruit training has changed over the years as tactics of war have changed. Infantry units no longer attack in mass formations; however, to move units around a base, formations are useful and practical. A combat soldier on the ground who may call in artillery and/or air strikes must be more intelligent and thoughtful than ever before.

Recruits are typically instructed in “drill”: to stand, march, and respond to orders. Historically, drills are derived from 18th-century military tactics: soldiers in a fire line performed precise and coordinated movements to load and fire muskets. Although the particular tactics are now mostly obsolete, drilling trains the recruit to act unhesitatingly in the face of real combat situations.

Modern militaries have learned that a service member often must make critical decisions on behalf of team and nation. Drill also enables the modern infantry soldier to maintain proper position relative to his peers and thereby maintain the shape of his or her formation while moving over uneven terrain or in the dark of night.

Drill serves a role in leadership training. Combat situations include commands to engage and put one’s life in danger but also commands to disengage when military necessity so demands.
