Once recruits learn to drill as a platoon, they are able to execute orders collectively while marching with their drill instructors. Platoons are evaluated by the Drill Masters, the drill instructors who are responsible for ensuring battalions are effectively teaching drill to recruits. Drill Masters score platoons on how well they can drill as individuals and as a platoon, as well as their drill instructor marching them. Drill is important in recruit training not only because it’s used throughout the entire Marine Corps, but because it instills discipline, confidence, and eliminates individualism.
