NOTE:  The original book font (size of the print) is very small.  This "mini" book makes the print even smaller but readable. You may want the bigger size (the size of a regular sheet of paper) in order to read the small print better.

The Drill Sergeant Candidate Handbook is primarily written for Drill Sergeant Candidates, however it should also serve as a quick reference for other U.S. military units. It covers physical readiness training, drill and ceremonies, warrior tasks, rifle marksmanship, combatives, rifle fighting techniques, and tactics.

This handbook provides Drill Sergeants with the references, knowledge, and operational requirements to be a successful Drill Sergeant in any basic combat training or one station unit training environment.

The proponent for this publication is the U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training. The preparing agency is the United States Army Drill Sergeant Academy.
