The book serves as an elementary textbook aimed at individuals contemplating military training and is particularly structured for civilians and reserve officer candidates. The manual covers essential military training principles, including physical preparation, drills, and discipline. The opening of the manual begins with a foreword acknowledging the authors’ expertise and the relevance of the manual for military training, particularly for those new to the armed forces. It emphasizes the practical nature of the content, designed to guide individuals through their training experience, while providing foundational knowledge and skills necessary for military service.
