I'm having a problem with my military. When i give my dwarves a task, such as kill something or to move to a certain area or even just train, about half my dwarves go where I tell them, but then the other half just goes to some random place in my fort and stand there, and NEVER leave unless i remove them from the squad or make the squad inactive. It says that they are training, but all their skills get rusty after awhile. Is this a bug and is there a work around?

yeah, its a bug
Workaround is to use the move [m] button instead and they'll engage once they see the monster

If you're trying to get them to train, make sure the squad is active and they have a barracks assigned to them. Check out the wiki article on training. It's not very straightforward.

telling them to move doesnt fix it. about half of them move, the other half go stand in random places. to test it out, i made a barracks outside my fortress, one for each squad, well away from each other. i currently have 4 dwarves standing in the hospital, 3 outside by the armor racks i designated, 6 in the old barracks, 5 are eating sleeping etc 2 are standing in my workshop hall "going to dodging demonstration" and another 3 are in the dining room standing on tables and are unable to follow orders.

if i change it and just make them in training mode, the ones that moved where i told them go back to the barracks outside, the others just stay in the same place.
