My woodcutter has only two jobs. One, cut wood. Two, militia commander. I've set his copper axe as part of his militia uniform, but given a kill order he won't go pick it up. When the squad is inactive, he won't go back to cutting wood, and he won't pick up his axe at that time either.

Okay, before making this post final, I removed him from the squad. Suddenly, he likes chopping wood again. Can anyone think of why he won't pick up his axe while he's in a squad? Thanks.

It's a bad idea to set military dwarves to be miners, hunters, or woodcutters. Either release him from the military or disable woodcutting.

Thanks. But I've never encountered this conflict before?

The reason my woodcutter is also my axedwarf is a result of my glacier embark setup where the only one cutting wood would likely be the only one fighting monsters in the first cavern.

Yeah, if you make a woodcutter an axedwarf, you need to give him 2 axes, one for killing, one for cutting. It's just how the game works, it assumes the dorf cannot use the woodcutting axe.
