Foot Drill

This video is of foot drill on camp in Tralee. There are various quite complex manoeuvres shown so they require careful studying.

At first we see The Colonel instructing a group I hope are recruits. The last guy in line begins his “about turn” early, and afterwards the rest of the guys totally disregard him and fall into step on their own, leaving him out front, on his own, out of step.

Some better examples follow, together with some arms drill while calling out the time from the recruits. Rossa also displays excellent clipboard drill during the middle sequence. We are treated to some fine double time marching with rifles at the high port, followed again by Rossa with his clipboard at the slope (under his arm) as he talks to Deccy.

The final sequence is that most complicated movement – the Concertina Stad. The front rank of NCOs stop perfectly while the remainder pile up behind them until they get the spacing correct.
