      Syllabus


      Army training regiments deliver a 14-week training course (which teaches all aspects of the Common Military Syllabus) that is completed by all adult (age 17+) recruits when they join the Regular Army.
      Recruits are taught and tested on a variety of military subjects, including;

      Weapon handling, marksmanship principals and live firing with the L85A3 rifle, and how to strip, clean and maintain it.
      Physical training that involves running, circuit training, battle PT, swimming, loaded marching, assault course, calisthenics and more.
      Battlefield casualty drills including triage and stabilisiation of casualties, treatment of gunshot wounds, catastrophic bleeds, loss of limb, breathing difficulties, bone breaks, burns, shock, evacuation procedures and more.

      Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defense (CBRN defence) drills, including the rapid donning of CBRN suit and respirator (gas mask), decontaminating themselves and their equipment, administering first aid for poisoning, and testing the environment for agents. A key part of this training involves recruits entering a room filled with tear gas, removing their respirator, and attempting to shout their name, rank, number, and the regiment/corps they are aspiring to join, before the effects of the tear gas (coughing, sneezing, eyes burning, shortness of breath) become too much to handle.
