About

SECTION I INTRODUCTION 1. Purpose and Scope a. Cadet drill is authorized only for the United States Military Academy. It is ideally suited to occasions when very impressive ceremonies are desired. b. This drill retains the basic structure of standard drill for simplicity and incorporates the simpler maneuvers of the old squad drill. It permits the disciplinary value of drill to be exploited to the maximum because it requires all officers and men in ranks to remain alert and obey commands with precision and promptness. 2. Training Procedure a. The recommended procedure for the corps of cadets is to learn both the cadet and standard drills. Cadet drill is more suitable for parades, reviews, and similar ceremonies, while standard drill is better suited for street parades, marches, and field work; and for moving large bodies of men in restricted areas.
