The Marine Corps Battle Skills Test
(BST) Program provides a structured approach for the service
to ensure all Marines sustain proficiency in 30 of the 178
common skills taught during entry level training. The
program emphasizes training using a leader-led,
face-to-face approach. Small unit leaders (noncommissioned
officers and above) are the primary trainers and
evaluators. Marines, private through general, annually
demonstrate their mastery of these common skills. Commanders
have flexibility in their approach to training and
evaluating their units.
