(VIII) Method of Instruction The steps to MOI for drills.

1. Introduction 2. Formation of Squad 3. Explanation 4. Demonstration 5. Practice

A Drill Instructor must be aware of the proper methods of instruction for drills but this will only act as a guide. A good Drill Instructor must be able to develop her own effective style of instruction (SOI). A good Drill Instructor must be able to command and time all drills sharply and accurately.

Sequence of Command – Words of Command All words of command must be clear and forceful since the way in which they are given affects their reaction. A word of command is divided into 3 parts:

1. Introductory This tells the squad the movement they are about to carry out. e.g. “Move to the right in three” “Bergerak ke-kanan bertiga-tiga…”

2. Cautionary The drawn-out and loud reminder to the squad. e.g. “Right” “Ke-kanan, Pu…”

3. Executive The loud, sharp command. e.g. “Turn”

“Sing!”

1) Introduction Sequence 1. Introduce the command that you are going to teach.

- “The command that I will be teaching you today is…” 2. Describe the new drill to the squad by telling them the command. 3. Spell the command. 4. Explain the meaning (English translation) of the command. 5. Timing of the drill.

Take note Speak clearly with confidence. Be clear of what you are going to teach.

2) Formation of Squad Sequence To be effective in transferring knowledge of drill, the IC should bear in mind two factors

in the formation of squad. a) The comfort of the squad

Minimize the chance of them facing the sun, if needed move them under the shade. Do check on squad welfare.

b) Deploy them in the formation in which they will learn fastest. i. Straight line ii. Semi-circle iii. Three ranks

3) Explanation Sequence Explain what you are about to teach and its importance.

What is the purpose of the drill. In what position can it be executed and in what position it cannot be executed.

16

4) Demonstration Sequence 1. Firstly, do a full demonstration with command given.

2. Demonstrate by number, pointing out important details like common mistakes and things to take note.

3. Ask if they have any questions and clarify them. 4. Another complete demonstration.

5) Practice Sequence 1. Let the squad do the drill by number first, then check their faults and correct

them. 2. Then let them try out the full movement of the drill. 3. When a drill is first taught to a squad, the whole squad should be made to call

out the timing loudly and clearly. Every member will know the timing and have it fixed in their heads. The whole squad can coordinate better and execute the drill together.

Note: - You can split the squad into smaller groups to let them try out (especially is the

squad is big). - After that, put the groups together and let them try out the drill as a squad.
