Warrior tasks and battle drills
>
> Proficiency
at WTBD is a primary focus at BCT and OSUT. A list of the current WTBD is found at
https://atn.army.mil/index.aspx Click the link "How to Access Army Warrior Tasks," and follow the instructions. This
training is critical because it allows our Soldiers to shoot, move, communicate, survive, and adapt while operating in
the contemporary operating environment. Furthermore, it develops proficiency of drills necessary to succeed while in
contact with the enemy. BCT and OSUT units will ensure Soldiers are proficient at these skills through instruction,
repetition, and application in realistic scenarios. Additionally, AIT Cadre/PSGs will reinforce the WTBDs identified in
paragraph 2-2c. WTBDs will be evaluated biennially and updated to reflect current contemporary operating
environment at https://atn.army.mil/index.aspx.
