Military training - training of soldiers in order to train soldiers in orderly execution. This training includes the training of individual soldiers as well as entire subdivisions (such as pedestrians, horse riders or motorists). In its most basic part, it involves the efficient occupation of the place during the gatherings (including in a row, two-row, marching column), marching steps equal and parading, return in the place and in the march, honors, guns, etc.

Team munitions are basically designed to train individual soldiers so that all team actions (subdivisions, divisions) are executed at the same time, repeatedly, "at tempo" (ie in a few - typically two to four - phases ). In specific cases (eg during public demonstrations of drill), some of these activities are performed by individual soldiers at the same time, only in a specific order (in the picture next to the soldiers standing in a row of soldiers, second). An inseparable element of the drill is its demonstrations during various military ceremonies, including public demonstrations, eg during a change of guard, military vows, officer promotions, etc.

The rules of the drill are based on scouting, but in minor details (the meaning of some commands and gestures, ways of executing some orders) are different.

In the Polish Army the principles of individual and team drills are described in the General Regulations. The previously detailed Mushroom Rules have been formally lost, but many of the rules described here remain unchanged.

The word "musktra" is a borrowing of German Musterung (which is from Latin monstrare - indicative "), but it does not mean much military training alone, as recruitment, military engagement. ship ", meaning the seafarer's on-board service.
