Dwarfs on individual combat drills can learn more in 10 days than a group with a teacher and students can in 5 months. Also, individual combat drills don't count as being 'active' so they don't get bad thoughts from 'long combat patrol'

Addendum: When I inactivate the squad, they start learning faster and more skills... hmm.

I am not sure millitary training is enough understood to comment on this.
But I noticed my dwarfs learn hardly anything.

I figured it out. They only train when they are inactivated (non-solid colors)! If they are standing around in solid colors, they are only pretending to train, not actually training. So don't set your 'minimum' down in order to 'activate them', let them train in their civilian mode!

[Spectre]

Yeah, they were training in civilian colors...

I haven't seen my dwarf sparring nor shooting anytime.
All preparations for training is made by guide properly, and dwarfs just standing around and waiting\watching presentations; is actual training yet broken?

Same. My military squad of 6 dwarves has just about got to adequate wrestling in over a year.

That would explain a lot.
I noticed my dwarves are only ever on 'private weapon drill' or something like that. Now my squadleader is just as bad in everything as they are, so that would explain why they just wont get better than dabbling.

My marksdwarves only train crossbows if I set them (with s - t ) to 'Sched - active/training', THEN set them to "Sched - ". They will shoot at the archery targets for a bit. then I have to repeat the process

Did they get any increase in 'Observer'/'Student'/'Leader'/'Organiser'/'Teacher' skills?
