How is it done?

I understand how to prevent the civilians from going beyond my main gate but the army does what it likes. Im under siege and wish to open the gate to attract the enemy within shooting range but my little armed chaps bolt off outside only to get put 6ft under by a goblin horde.

Ive been testing out the various military menus and options but none appear to keep them inside. Burrows, I swear this is the answer but the army does not seem to respond to them.

Thanks

Station them inside.

If they have line-of-sight to the enemy, they will charge suicidally and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

Station them using the (s)quads menu inside and around a corner/on the other side of a door from your courtyard, lower the bridge and let some goblins in, close the drawbridge, then tell your (s)quad to attack.

The dwarfs are running off to pick up equipment from outside. The siege forces are way out of site by the maps edge. I tried the 'station command' but they still trot off. I thought there would be a command or an order I could set up in the military screen to keep them inside. Ive disabled 'claim ammunition' but that seems to be for the civilians only.

If you can. Lock a door preventing them from doing so.

You can forbid the outside equipment with d, b, f. Then your soldiers will not run outside to claim it.

Make a large enough weapon and armor stockpile inside once the siege is gone.  You should always station troops just out of sight from the enemy so they move as a unit rather than a beeline.
