CLOSE ORDER DRILL / MANUAL OF ARMSCLOSE ORDER DRILL / MANUAL OF ARMSCLOSE ORDER DRILL / MANUAL OF ARMSCLOSE ORDER DRILL / MANUAL OF ARMS See “The Soldier's Handbook, FM 21-100, 1941” or “Infantry Drill Regulations, FM 22-5, 1941” for details. Here we point out the fact that each member within the platoon must take the responsibility to learn the basics of individual of movements. The more proficient each man can become in performing the individual movements, the easier it will be for him to mesh with the team when the platoon is functioning together. All of the NCOs in your platoon are willing to help you master these skills. Remember, soldiers learn through daily repetitive training. Training and practice doesn't begin and end at each training session or field exercise. Each soldier, on his own between sessions, must carry it on. Listed below are some of the first basic movements without arms that each man should strive to gain proficiency in:

Position of Attention Parade Rest Stationary Facings - Left, Right, About. The Hand Salute Marching Facings; Left Flank, Right Flank, the Obliques, To The Rear, and column movements.

The Manual of Arms is the next level that each individual soldier must accomplish. Gaining proficiency in these movements, both as an individual and when functioning as part of the platoon, will ultimately develop pride, confidence, and trust in both yourself and your fellow soldiers. Nothing looks sharper than a platoon performing the "Marching Manual", with every hand and every weapon moving as one. But each man must first learn and become proficient in the basics. Some of the first basic rifle movements you will learn are:

Order Arms (to include the position of attention, and moving to the order from any position) Trail Arms Port Arms (to include being able to move to port from any other position) Present Arms Right Shoulder, and Left Shoulder Arms Secure Arms Parade Rest Rifle Salutes.
