00:01.460 --> 00:03.516
Skill at arms begins with discipline

00:03.516 --> 00:05.516
fundamentals , especially for those

00:05.516 --> 00:07.710
charged with leading formations under

00:07.710 --> 00:09.932
the service pistol team's instruction ,

00:09.932 --> 00:11.877
that standard is reinforced at the

00:11.877 --> 00:14.539
highest level . Go ahead and do that .

00:15.109 --> 00:16.831
So today we're teaching , uh ,

00:16.831 --> 00:18.998
battalion leadership from 311 Infantry

00:18.998 --> 00:21.053
Regiment , and we're just going over

00:21.053 --> 00:23.109
the fundamentals . So no matter what

00:23.109 --> 00:25.331
level you're at , everybody could stand

00:25.331 --> 00:25.190
to learn . Uh , it's been a little bit

00:25.190 --> 00:27.301
more time from the fundamentals . And

00:27.301 --> 00:29.523
so , uh , I've got a lot of respect for

00:29.523 --> 00:31.468
the leadership that came out in 33

00:31.468 --> 00:33.523
degree weather with it raining and ,

00:33.523 --> 00:35.468
and , uh , it , it wasn't the best

00:35.468 --> 00:37.579
conditions , and they had really good

00:37.579 --> 00:39.523
attitudes about it , and , uh , it

00:39.523 --> 00:41.690
didn't stop them from , from executing

00:41.690 --> 00:43.801
the fundamentals to the best of their

00:43.801 --> 00:46.360
abilities . As a soldier , there's so

00:46.360 --> 00:48.471
many things that you have to do , all

00:48.471 --> 00:50.804
right ? Like shoot , move , communicate .

00:50.804 --> 00:52.860
So shooting is just one piece of the

00:52.860 --> 00:55.027
pie , and it's something that needs to

00:55.027 --> 00:57.138
be honed so well that I don't have to

00:57.138 --> 00:59.193
think about it . I shouldn't have to

00:59.193 --> 01:01.416
sit there and think about , OK , well ,

01:01.416 --> 01:01.159
now I'm , now I'm pressing the trigger .

01:01.229 --> 01:03.396
Now I'm aligning my sights , now . I'm

01:03.396 --> 01:05.562
doing this , now I'm doing that . It's

01:05.562 --> 01:07.729
like it should be automatic . So now I

01:07.729 --> 01:09.840
can focus on my guys . I can focus on

01:09.840 --> 01:09.540
controlling my guys , taking an

01:09.540 --> 01:11.596
objective , moving , communicating ,

01:11.779 --> 01:13.668
doing so many other things that's

01:13.668 --> 01:15.501
required of us as a soldier . So

01:15.501 --> 01:17.057
shooting really needs to be

01:17.057 --> 01:19.279
subconscious and it needs to be at that

01:19.279 --> 01:20.099
level of subconscious competence .
