I had a peasant show up who was a novice in "Military Tactics". Where and how and why is this skill learned?

[Smew]

Probably a new skill with 31.13

[Khift]

Something strange has happened with migrants in .31.13. People are getting migrants from other races and migrants with weird never seen before skills such as Military Tactics. None of them are likely intentional, and this skill in particular probably has no effect on anything within the game.

[Svampapa]

Paving the way for sending armies to other places perhaps? Or a skill the worthless militia commander noble can hone sitting in his study while the real military dorfs do all the dirty work?

Tactics though... makes you dream a little. Proper battles with formations and lines? We can only wish.

Well, squad formations was one of the features intended for DF2010 but dropped because we were waiting too long already. It'll get in someday.

You must either have a glitch, not doing something right, or haven't actually played the game enough.  My militia commander not only trains and fights with his soldiers he ends up getting most of the kills.

Leave that in please.... so cool to get other races attracted to your fort. Plus if elves show up you can conscript them as steel clad wrestlers so your axedwarves can safely slice off limbs.

Same here, mine is almost always the first guy there, sometimes the Captain of the guard is too if he isn't out killing dwarves for not making tin beds and clear glass warhammers.
