This article is about an older version of DF.

Template:L that are part of a Template:L that is not currently ordered into "combat mode" (kill {monster}/station {location}) will now "Train" when they have nothing else to do. If there is no one else to train with a Dwarf will initiate an "Individual Combat Drill". In order for this to happen you must have either a Template:L (Template:Ld from a Template:L) or an Armory (zoned from a Template:L/Template:L) and set it to "train" mode (using t).

By default, all squads are set to 'Active/Train' alert, in which they are assigned to train Template:L. To change this, go to Template:L screen (m a), select the new alert you want to set, then use right arrow to switch to squad listing and press enter to change the alert for the highlighted squad. Alternatively, you can use s from the game main menu, then select the squad you want to edit via its assigned letter, and repeatedly press t to cycle through the alerts.

While Template:L with a Template:L, practice in Template:L and Template:L will occur magnitudes slower, if at all. If you are trying to practice Template:L for survival, it may be a good idea to drill with no weapon at all for a while.
