Military education and training is a process which intends to establish and improve
the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles. It begins with
recruit training, proceeds to education and training specific to military roles,
and may also include additional training during a military career. Military
training may be voluntary or compulsory duty.

Recruit training
Main article: Recruit training
The primary form of military training is recruit training, which makes use of
various conditioning techniques to resocialize trainees into the military system,
ensure that they will obey all orders without hesitation, and teach basic military
skills.[1][2][3][4][5] The drill instructor has the task of making the service
members fit for military use. (Resocialization is a sociological concept referring
to the process of mentally and emotionally "re-training" a person so they can
operate in a new environment, and involves changes to an individual's attitudes and
behaviours.)

Role-specific training
After their recruit training, personnel may undergo further training specific to
their military role, including the use of any specialist equipment. After this
point, they are normally deemed fit for military service.

Further training
Military personnel may continue to receive training during their career.
Military academies
Larger countries may have military academies, which combine military training with
formal qualifications.
