In every other FM doctrine standardizes how the Army does business, but its EXPECTED that we will adapt and modify it to complete the mission. PRT on the other hand is lockstep, we will do prep drills in this exact manner and speed being an example Tue, 15 Mar 2016 23:23:42 -0400 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/why-is-fm-7-22-followed-in-such-a-lockstep-manner-when-it-is-an-fm <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Field Manual 7-22 is just that, a field manual, that spells out Army doctrine for its PT program.

There are people incorrectly doing PRT every installation I go to. The reason so much &quot;empahsis&quot; is applied to it, is so it meets the actual intent of the exercises. It isn&#39;t going to work if you are not doing it correctly. That is why SGM&#39;s are so crazy about it.
