army drills
Soldiers practicing formations
Army drills are structured exercises that train soldiers in military skills and discipline.
They range from physical conditioning and weapons handling to coordinated formations and tactical maneuvers.
The repetition builds muscle memory and unit cohesion: The recruits spent hours on army drills before dawn.
By extension, any rigorous, repetitive training regimen may be called army drills.
