Briefly describe the history of Drill and Ceremonies in the Army today.

From about 1775 until 1778, Revolutionary forces were created with little or no organization, control, discipline, or teamwork. Recognizing this crisis, General Washington, through Benjamin Franklin, the American Ambassador to France, enlisted the aid of Prussian officer, Baron Friedrich von Steuben. To correct the conditions that prevailed, he set to work immediately and wrote drill movements and regulations that made discipline a part of military life. This new discipline instilled in the individual a sense of alertness, urgency, and attention to detail. As the Americans mastered the art of drill, they began to work as a team and to develop a sense of pride in themselves and in their unit. In order to ensure continuity and uniformity, von Steuben, by then a major general and the Army Inspector General, wrote the first Army field manual in 1779. It was called "The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States," and was commonly referred to as the "Blue Book." (para 1-1)
