This article is about an older version of DF.

A barracks is a room where soldiers go to train. Soldiers may also be told to sleep there. Barracks may be defined from a bed, cabinet, chest, weapon rack, or armor stand. A single barracks may serve multiple squads.

Squads must be assigned to a barracks before they will use it for training or sleeping. Press q and select the barracks. Use +/- to highlight a squad, then t to assign that squad to train there, or z to assign the squad to sleep there.

Marksdwarves require an archery range. Multiple squads can be assigned to a range. Marksdwarves assigned to a barracks will train in melee, including hammering.

Civilians will not sleep in open beds within a defined barracks. If you would like them to do so, simply use one of the beds in the barracks to designate a dormitory. To create a dormitory, press q, highlight a bed, press r, then -/+ until you have the size you want, then press d.

If your dwarves are sleeping on the floor instead of in one of the beds then remember that each bed in a barracks is assigned to one of the dwarves in the squad; press q highlight a bed and press p and it will tell you which dwarf was assigned to that bed.
