This drill book provides military police (MP) squad and platoon leaders with a set of standardized ANA MP drills. It is applicable to all table(s) of organization and equipment (TOE) and MP organizations at platoon echelon and below. It describes the methods that small units should use to train to proficiency. Continuous mastery of these drills is an essential baseline for all small-unit leaders.
The proponent of this publication is Afghanistan National Army Training Command (ANATC).

General.
The success of the mission depends on the ability of the soldiers and units to execute key actions instinctively and immediately in reaction to a situation or an order. Soldiers must maintain proficiency on individual and collective tasks within a band of excellence. Therefore, training must be realistic to ensure that tasks are performed to standard during actual mission conditions. a. A battle drill is a collective action executed by a platoon or smaller element without applying a deliberate decision-making process. The action is vital to success in combat or critical to preserving life. A drill is initiated on a cue, such as an enemy action or a leader command, and is a trained response to a given stimulus. It requires minimal leader orders to accomplish and is standard throughout like units. b. A crew drill is a collective action-that the crew of a weapon or piece of equipment must perform to successfully use the weapon or equipment in combat or to preserve life. This action is a trained response to a given stimulus, such as a leader’s command or the state of weapons or equipment. It requires minimal leader orders to accomplish and is standard throughout the Army. c. Battle and crew drills have the following advantages:
(1) They allow teams, squads, and platoons to perform critical tasks automatically because they have been practiced repetitively.
(2) They reduce reaction time, increase the speed of execution, and standardize actions in crucial situations.
(3) They develop leaders and build teamwork and cohesion under stress.
(4) They help the soldier master his individual skills so that he knows what to do when operating alone or in the absence of direct leadership.
(5) They instill unit discipline and operational standards for key mission situations.

Training Guidance.
Drills link individual, leader, and collective tasks. They provide the doctrinal procedures that are crucial to applying tactics that ensure survival and defeat of hostile elements. The leader has the flexibility to decide which drills to use and when to use them. a. Priorities. Trainers must decide training priorities for the drills and the individual and leader tasks that support them. To do this, the leader must—
(1) Identify the unit's critical tactical missions (See the company mission-essential task list
[METL] tasks and the commander's training guidance).
(2) Select the drills that support specific METL-related tasks and the commander’s training guidance.
(3) Rank the drills according to—
(a) Their importance to mission accomplishment.
(b) The unit's current level of proficiency (strengths and weaknesses).
(c) Their degree of difficulty.
(4) Identify the individual and leader tasks that support the drills selected for training. (The individual and leader tasks are listed at the end of each drill.)
Military Police Drills 5
ANA 19-100-10
(5) Conduct individual training. This training is the first step in the building block approach and establishes the basics for unit or collective training. Mastery of individual skills is an essential precondition for effective drill training.
(6) Set up conditions for training. Until the soldier obtains proficiency, the conditions should be basic. Leaders must incorporate difficulty and realism as training progresses, including limited visibility; and live fires. However, the task remains the same regardless of the difficulty of the conditions. b. Execution. All soldiers must master the identified individual tasks. Leaders must know the individual tasks required of their subordinates. Cross training is essential so that units can perform drills despite personnel losses. After prerequisite individual and leader training, soldiers must undergo drill training. For initial training or if the unit's proficiency is low, the lesson plan should follow the crawl, walk, and run phases of training.
(1) Crawl phase (explain and demonstrate). The leader talks the soldiers through the drill, step-by-step, describing what each individual or team must do. The leader performs the following tasks for each drill:
(a) Describes the drill in general, including its purpose and importance.
(b) Describes the initiating cue, command, and combat context in which the training occurs.
(c) Describes the performance standards.
(d) Describes (in detail) the performance measures of each step.
(e) Conducts a step-by-step demonstration of the subtasks.
(f) Discusses the role of supporting individual tasks within the drill.
(2) Walk phase (practice). The unit executes the drill at a slow, step-by-step pace. The leader performs the following tasks for each drill:
(a) Produces the cue that initiates the drill.
(b) Instructs each soldier to slowly perform the actions required by each step.
(c) Coaches and critiques performances during each practice run.
(d) Stops training to provide correction (as necessary).
(e) Practices drills until the unit can perform them to standard without coaching.
(3) Run phase (perform). The leader requires the soldiers to perform the drill at full speed as if they were performing their actual mission. The leader conducts this phase of instruction as follows:
(a) Produces the cue that initiates the drill.
(b) Allows the drill to be performed, without interruption, until it is complete.
(c) Has the soldiers repeat the drill until they can perform it to standard at full speed.
(d) Reverts to the walk phase if soldiers cannot perform their tasks correctly.
(e) Varies the conditions under which the drill is performed, including the visibility, terrain, and duty position.
(f) Conducts an after-action review (AAR) to summarize the results of the training.
Identifies training strengths and weaknesses, obtains feedback, and emphasizes key training points.
1-3. Sustainment. Leaders conduct sustainment training to maintain the unit’s proficiency of mastered drills. Sustainment training can overcome the loss of task proficiency and personnel changes. Trainers often find that they must retrain tasks, following the complete crawl-walk-run sequence. They can also maintain sustainment through multi echelon training. These drills are
Military Police Drills 6
ANA 19-100-10 conducted the same in higher echelon situational training exercises (STXs) and field training exercises (FTXs) as they would be in a hostile environment. a. Train to Retain. Retention of individual and collective task skills is a recurring training problem for commanders. Skill retention is a decreasing function of time due to the length of time between practices. To enhance retention, commanders must schedule training to acquire new skills and to maintain learned skill levels. Skill maintenance programs must include the—
(1) Integration of learned skills into new collective task training.
(2) Use of training aids (such as checklists and color codes) to enhance old skills.
(3) Use of positive feedback (such as on-the-spot correction and frequent AARs). b. Train to Sustain Proficiency. The cornerstone of the ANA is the concept of sustaining proficiency. The unit must be prepared to encounter hostile elements on short notice. To sustain proficiency, the unit must train, evaluate, and continue to train at all times. The unit commanders must develop training strategies that attain the levels of training proficiency required in mission-essential tasks. These strategies are based on the training guidance provided by higher HQ. The unit commanders must determine the frequency for each given task. Sustainment requires practice and repetition, and evaluating these practices uncovers training weaknesses. The mission outlines and sequentially smaller training components found in mission training plans (MTPs) allow the leader to select tasks and groups of tasks to aid in this process and to reduce the planning time.
1-4. Safety. a. Protection is one of the elements of combat power. Protection is the conservation of the fighting potential of a force, and safety is an intricate part of that protection. Leaders must verify the structural soundness of all training and evaluation plans from a safety viewpoint.
Leaders must conduct training at levels consistent with the abilities of the soldiers being trained. They must instill an awareness of individual safety in all subordinate leaders and soldiers. Soldiers must constantly be alert for and avoid situations that may result in injury or death. b. At the training site, leaders must establish training safety overwatch procedures. Safety procedures should emphasize the adherence to standards, consideration of environmental factors (wet bulb), risk assessment, and factors contributing to and aiding in the prevention of accidents. Responsible individuals must know how to balance the risks against the training requirements and monitor conditions for safety and health hazards (to eliminate or control them). Leaders must ensure the welfare of their soldiers in all situations. c. Leaders must establish a buddy system for safety. Soldiers should maintain a safety watch on each other, with emphasis on individual safety training and first aid responsibilities. All unsafe conditions and unsafe acts must be recognized. Soldiers must be alert to human error and know the capabilities and limitations of the equipment and vehicles they use. Following the proper safety procedures preserves troop strength by preventing personnel losses through accidents.
1-5. Evaluation. Training standards are provided as a part of each drill, and the execution of that drill is the standard for the task or task step.
Military Police Drills 7
ANA 19-100-10 a. Evaluations may be internal or external. Internal evaluations are conducted at all levels and must be inherent in all training. External evaluations are usually more formal and are conducted by the next higher HQ. b. Failure to evaluate each task every time it is executed is a critical weakness. The ARTEP concept is based on simultaneous training and evaluation. Every exercise provides the potential for evaluation feedback. Every evaluation is a training session. To optimize training, trainers and leaders must evaluate training as it is performed. c. Place emphasis on direct on-the-spot evaluations. Correcting poor performance during drills is easy to do. However, in higher level exercises with outside evaluators, this is usually not feasible. The habit of leader evaluations at every level makes the difference. AARs should be planned at frequent, logical intervals during exercises (usually after the completion of a major event). This is a proven technique that allows for corrections of performance shortcomings while they are still fresh in the soldier's mind. Additionally, it gets everyone involved and prevents the reinforcement of bad habits by not allowing for a repeat of poor performance.
1-6. Feedback. The Commander of Afghanistan National Army’s Training Command (ANATC) requests your recommendations for improvement of this drill book. Your feedback will help ensure that this book stays current with new equipment and operational concepts that the MP will employ in the diverse missions of tomorrow.

Conditions: Given an Pistol, or other model and one or more magazines loaded with 9-mm ammunition.
Standards: Apply the correct target engagement techniques and engage hostile targets.
Note: The basics of clearing, loading, unloading and firing automatic pistols are very similar if not the same.
Performance Steps
1. Identify the target(s). The most likely target you will engage is an enemy soldier on foot.
2. Apply the fundamentals of quick fire.
Note: To fire quickly without using the pistol sights, use the pistol as an extension of your arm. a. To use the pistol grip, hold the pistol in your non-firing hand. Form a "V" with the thumb and forefinger of your firing hand. b. Place the pistol in the "V" with the sights in line with your firing arm. c. Hold your upper arm close to your body, and your forearm at about a 45-degree angle. d. Wrap your lower three fingers around the grip, putting equal pressure to the rear with all three fingers (Figure 1). e. Place your thumb alongside the pistol without applying any pressure. f. Place your trigger finger on the trigger so that it can be pulled to the rear. g. Tightly grip the pistol until your hand begins to tremble. Relax until the trembling stops. At this point, you have applied the necessary pressure for a solid grip.

ANA 19-100-10
Note: If you relax any of your three fingers on the grip, you must reapply the entire grip.
3. Choose one of the following supported or unsupported grips: a. Supported grip. The only supported grip is the one-hand grip (Figure 2). Begin by gripping the weapon as described. Allow the thumb of your firing hand to rest without pressure beside your weapon. Place your trigger finger, between the tip and the second joint, on the trigger, so you can squeeze the trigger to the rear. Your trigger finger must work independently of your other fingers.
Figure 2. One hand grip. b. Unsupported grips. You may use any of three non-firing hand grips to support your firing hand (Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5).
(1) Fist grip (Figure 3). Begin by gripping the weapon as previously described. Firmly close the fingers of your non-firing hand over the fingers of your firing hand. Make sure the index finger of your non-firing hand is between the middle finger of your firing hand and the guard. Place your non-firing thumb beside your firing thumb.
Figure 3. Fist grip.
Note: The Pistol has a re-curved trigger guard, which allows you to place the index finger of your non-firing hand on the front of the trigger guard if you wish.

ANA 19-100-10
(2) Palm-supported grip (Figure 4). Begin by gripping the weapon as previously described.
Place your non-firing hand under your firing hand. Wrap your non-firing fingers around the back of your firing hand. Place your non-firing thumb over the middle finger of your firing hand.
Figure 4. Palm supported grip.
(3) Weaver grip (Figure 5). Apply this grip the same as the fist grip, but wrap your nonfiring thumb over your firing thumb.
Figure 5. The “Weaver” grip.
4. Select the most stable firing position with the best cover. Consider the following positions: a. Prone position (Figure 6). To assume the prone position—
(1) Lie flat on the ground, facing the target.
(2) Extend your arms to the front with your firing arm locked.
(3) Wrap your non-firing hand around either the wrist or the fingers of your firing hand.
(4) Face forward. Keep your head down between your arms and behind the weapon.

ANA 19-100-10 c. Kneeling (Figure 8). To assume this position—
(1) Use available cover for support such as a low wall, rocks, or a vehicle that you can fire over.
(2) Place your firing knee on the ground. Put your left knee down to fire left handed, or your right knee down to fire right handed.
(3) Bend your other knee. Place the foot on your non-firing side flat on the ground, pointing toward the target. Extend your arms over available cover, and use it for support.
(4) Lock the wrist and elbow of your firing arm.
(5) Wrap your non-firing hand around your firing fist or wrist to support your firing arm.
Figure 8. Kneeling position.
Note: This position could silhouette you, making you a better target. When possible, fire around the sides of walls, rocks, or vehicles instead of over them. d. Standing-without-support position (Figure 9). To assume this position—
(1) Face the target.
(2) Place your feet at a comfortable distance apart.
(3) Wrap your non-firing hand around the fist or wrist of your firing hand. Lock the wrist and elbow of your firing arm toward the target.
(4) Keep your body straight.

Figure 9. Standing-without-support position. e. Crouching (Figure 10). This position is the same as the standing-without-support position, except you must bend your knees slightly. Balance by leaning forward at the waist.
Figure 10. Crouching position
5. Apply the fundamentals of marksmanship. a. Pistol grip. To obtain a proper pistol grip—
Military Police Drills 50
ANA 19-100-10
(1) Place the pistol in the "V" formed by the thumb and forefinger of your firing hand. Line the sights up with your firing arm. Wrap your lower three fingers around the pistol. Grip with your middle finger under the trigger guard. Exert equal pressure on all three lower fingers to the rear, back through the wrist and forearm (Figure 1).
(2) Rest your thumb on top of your middle finger when gripping the pistol. Do not exert any downward pressure.
(3) Grip the pistol firmly, but not so firmly that your hand trembles. b. Sight alignment. To sight properly—
(1) Align the front sight blade in the rear sight notch so that an equal amount of light shows on either side of the front sight. Ensure that the tops of the front and rear sights are even.
(2) Relax as much as possible.
(3) Maintain the correct sight alignment, and focus on the front sight.
(4) Squeeze the trigger with a steadily increasing pressure straight to the rear, taking care not to disturb the sight alignment until after the hammer falls.
Note: When there is more than one target, choose the target that is the greatest danger. This is often the closest target.
COACHING POINT: Stress the importance of all successful weapons marksmanship to all personnel. Keep commands simple and loud.
RUN-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: The soldiers should practice this drill until they can perform it according to standard without the use of the drill book. Conduct the initial run-through exercise slowly.
PERFORM: Evaluate the soldiers when they can perform this drill according to standard.

Conditions: Given an M4 or M4A1 carbine, magazines, ammunition, individual combat equipment, and stationary or moving targets (personnel or equipment) at engageable ranges.
Standards: Detect and determine range to targets. Fire the M4 or M4A1 carbine, engage targets in the assigned sector of fire, and apply correct marksmanship fundamentals and target engagement techniques so that each target is hit or suppressed.
Performance Steps
1. Assume an appropriate firing position based on the situation. The firing position should protect you from enemy fire and observation, yet allow you to place effective fire on targets in your sector of fire. a. Foxhole. Advantages: best when available. Disadvantages: no overhead cover. b. Prone. Advantages: steady, easy to assume, low silhouette, and easily adapted to use of cover and support. Disadvantages: effectiveness can be limited by terrain and vegetation irregularities. c. Prone supported. Advantages: steadier than prone; other advantages the same as prone.
Disadvantages: same as prone. d. Kneeling. Advantages: used when firing from behind something; used on ground that is level or gently sloping upward. Disadvantage: exposed to small arms fire. e. Kneeling supported-Advantages: steadier than kneeling; other advantages the same as kneeling. Disadvantages: exposed to small arms fire. f. Standing-Advantages: used in assault to surprise targets or when other positions are not appropriate. Disadvantages: exposed to small arms fire.
2. Identify targets in your designated sector of fire.
3. Determine range to a target. a. Your M4 or M4A1 rifle sights can be used to estimate range to targets(s). Viewed through the front sight, a man-sized target appears—
(1) Twice the width as the front sight post at about 90 meters.
(2) The same width as the front sight post at about 175 meters.
(3) Half the width of the front sight post at about 350 meters.
4. Load and fire on targets using appropriate engagement techniques. a. Load the weapon. b. Use the appropriate aiming technique.
(1) Engage a stationary target using reference points or sighting points.
(2) Engage a target moving towards you as you would a stationary target.
(3) Engage a target moving laterally, using the new single lead technique, by placing the trailing edge of the front sight post at the center of the target. This method causes the lead to increase automatically as the range increases.
(4) Engage multiple targets by first firing at the one presenting the greatest danger (usually the closest) and then rapidly proceeding to the next target.
Military Police Drills 53
ANA 19-100-10 c. Use the quick-fire technique when there is no time to properly aim. Use this technique on targets within 30 meters of your location. (This technique is most effective in urban terrain or heavy bush.)
(1) Use the standing position.
(2) Use the raised stock well, looking 5 or 8 cm above the sights, on a plane that is level with the barrel.
(3) Look at the target, NOT at the sights. d. Fire on the targets until they are destroyed or until you receive an order to cease fire.
COACHING POINT: Stress the importance of successful weapons marksmanship to all personnel. Keep commands simple and loud.
RUN-THROUGH INSTRUCTIONS: The soldiers should practice this drill until they can perform it according to standard without the use of the drill book. Conduct the initial run-through exercise slowly.
PERFORM: Evaluate the soldiers when they can perform this drill according to standard.
