White Phase. You will learn rifle marksmanship and qualify on your assigned weapon. You will also continue your physical readiness training along with negotiating an obstacle course and train in the field on the basic soldier skills necessary to meet the needs of an expeditionary Army known as” Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills”. 
These skills help develop your confidence in becoming a strong member of the Army team. At the end of white phase you will earn your rifle qualification badge. Blue Phase. This phase builds upon what you learned over the past two phases and reinforces the basic combat skills with a focus on teamwork and discipline. You will learn to operate additional weapons used by the Army. You will throw live hand grenades, train in urban operations and survive multiple days in a field environment. After passing all your BCT tests and challenges, you qualify to wear the Army Black Beret as a Rite of Passage. 4-9. Warrior Tasks and Battle DrillsThe Army has identified various basic Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills (WTBDs) that all Soldiers are required to train in order to succeed on the battlefield. These WTBDs are taught in basic combat training and cover critical skills associated with the ability to shoot, move, communicate, and survive. While in the Reception Battalion, you received a copy of the Soldier’s Manual of Common Tasks, Warrior Skills Level 1 (STP-21-1-SMCT). This manual covers all of the WTBDs you are required to know. Shoot: You will become proficient with your weapon and learn how to maintain, employ, and engage targets as well as how to properly handle and employ hand grenades.
Move: You will learn how to move tactically on the ground by practicing individual movement techniques. You will learn how to navigate from one point to another and how to move as a member of a team.
Communicate: Communication training focuses on using modern technology to convey information effectively. You will learn equipment and procedures to become a more technically savvy Soldier and an effective communicator.
Survive: Experience in handling the pressures of modern warfare is critical for Soldier survival. Practice in survival tasks helps you to react properly to hostile fire, enemy threats, and to maintain situational awareness.
Battle Drills: A battle drill is a collective action performed by a platoon, squad or team that requires no planning, but is conducted as routine action when events dictate a response.
