Regulation Drill Sequence (IDR) Without Arms (Air Force)

The team commander must check in with the Field House Commander in order to move to the on-deck position.

The team must remain quiet and not disturb the team performing.

The team will have 1 minute, from the double whistle to the single whistle, in order to form up anywhere outside the boundary, but not infringing on any other drill floor. This leaves the West Boundary or the East Boundary.

The team must remain outside the floor boundary until the single whistle sounds; at which time, the team may enter the floor and grading will begin.

Sequence commands must be given in order; however, commands may be added in between without penalty. If a command in the sequence is skipped, no commands will be counted until the skipped command is given. 

At the single whistle, enter the drill floor at quick time and halt centered on the judge’s table and execute the proper facing movement in the direction of the table.  Then proceed with the following sequence:
