How to Write a Military Drill Routine: Routine Mapping Tools

It’s that time of year again, the time to start planning your drill team, squad and solo/tandem routines- if you haven’t already. To help you along in this endeavor, years ago I developed the DrillMaster Routine Mapping Tools (RMT) to try to fit all kinds of situations. Here are the links to the 2013 updated versions. These new reworked and better looking tools have a couple of tweaks here and there. Check them out and see what you think.

Check out this article, How to Write Drill, for help on using the RMTs. If you have questions, please ask!

RMTs are here at the downloads page.
