Military training
Military education and training is a process that intends to establish and improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles. Military training may be a voluntary or compulsory duty. It begins with recruit training, proceeds to education and training specific to military roles, and sometimes includes additional training during a military career. Directing staff are the military personnel who comprise the instructional staff at a military training institution.
In some countries, military education and training are parts of compulsory education. The organizers believe that military education can bring some benefits and experiences that cannot be obtained from regular classes like setback education. Moreover, participants can learn more survival skills during military education, like co-operations and resilience, which will help participants improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles [Winslow, р.12].
Military recruit training, commonly known as basic training or boot camp, refers to the initial instruction of new military personnel. It is a physically and psychologically intensive process, which resocializes its subjects for the unique demands of military employment [Grossman, р. 320].
