Drill Setup Instructions

Idea

Structured, step-by-step instructions for physically setting up a drill — target placement, distances, barriers, props, and any special requirements. Attached to a drill definition so that anyone running the drill can reproduce the setup consistently.

Motivation

• LE contact emphasized the need to “take away the thinking” from the team — just tell them what to do, step by step
• Reproducible setups are essential for meaningful score comparison across sessions and locations
• New organizers and ROs need clear guidance — not everyone has run every drill before
• Reduces the “tribal knowledge” problem where only experienced people know how to set things up
• Pairs naturally with drill kits (what you need) and scoring (how results are evaluated)

Open Questions

• Free-text instructions, structured fields, or both?
• Should setup instructions include diagrams or photos? (ties into media system)
• Are instructions per-drill or per-kit?
• Could the 3D drill builder (Bevy, future) auto-generate setup instructions from a visual layout?
• How detailed — just target placement, or also safety briefing, round count, time limits?
