Military education and training is a process
which intends to establish and improve the
capabilities of military personnel in their
respective roles. It begins with recruit training ,
proceeds to education and training specific to
military roles, and may also include additional
training during a military career. Military training
may be voluntary or compulsory duty.
Recruit training
Main article: Recruit training
The primary form of military training is recruit
training , which makes use of various
conditioning techniques to resocialize trainees
into the military system, ensure that they will
obey all orders without hesitation, and teach
basic military skills. [1][2][3][4][5] The drill
instructor has the task of making the service
members fit for military use. (Resocialization is
a sociological concept referring to the process
of mentally and emotionally "re-training" a person
so they can operate in a new environment, and
involves changes to an individual's attitudes and
behaviours.)
Role-specific training
After their recruit training , personnel may
undergo further training specific to their military
role, including the use of any specialist
equipment. After this point, they are normally
deemed fit for military service.
Further training
Military personnel may continue to receive
training during their career.
Military academies
Larger countries may have military academies ,
which combine military training with formal
qualifications.
