I am still having problems with the blasted military.  I have order my squad of axedwarves to train under scheduling.  At least 6 train each month out of ten.  But when set to train, it says cannot follow orders.

Is there any reason why.  They have a barracks.  At least 6 of them are freely being insubordinate.  How do I get these guys to train.  Their useless against goblins when they don't train, even with steel equipment.

Thanks.

 1.Under scheduling orders, there is a minimum of the size of the squad you want to participate under any order. Might still be using the min order for an original squad.
 2.Did you remove the armor rack/weapon stand you designated for that squad to use?
 3. Are miners, hunters, woodcutters in the squad. This causes weird things to happen
 4. Do they all have access to the barracks?

1) Currently the squad in session is set to active/train under the alerts.  The particular active/train alert schedules at least 5(reduced from 6) to train.

2.) Actually, their barracks was set to a bed.  I reset it to an armor rack.  Now at least some of the squad are training, but not all of the squad.

3.) No

4.) They all should have access to it.  But there is only one door, so maybe other dwarves are getting in the way.

Now I at least have 5 of them training.  A large number of others are still giving me cannot carry out order though.

1. What version are you playing?
2. Can you give orders such as move, kill, etc?
3. Do you have enough equipment for all 10 of them to wear a full uniform? Try setting no uniform.
4. I am not sure how the squad interacts with/without certain members. For instance if the squad leader is not around will anyone setup demonstrations/organize sparring exercises? You could try setting the squad captain to always train and see if that helps.

Danger room.

Furlion had some good ideas. With these following suggestions, I am assuming you are a new player, am not implying you are stupid, just a little ignorant of DF gameplay, lol.
 1.Sometimes, if you went back to a previous save, there is some confusion with squad members. Remove militia commander, disband the squad, reassign them again.
 2. When assigning new members to a squad, make sure they are not assigned to another squad
To see if they all want to behave, give a move order to the squad, if they all do not show up soon, there is a major goofup involved
