What formation will the Preparation Drills of PRT occur in?

• A. Column formation.
• B. The extended rectangular formation.
• C. Wedge formation.
• D. Line abreast.

Answer: (B)

Preparation Drills are about organizing a large group for a warm-up so commands are clear, spacing is safe, and everyone can move in unison. The extended rectangular formation fits this purpose best because it creates multiple rows along a rectangular area, giving enough space for arm movements, stretches, and dynamic drills without crowding. It also makes it easier for the leader to see and correct everyone and to move along the length of the group to monitor form. Compared with other shapes, this formation balances visibility, control, and safety for a mass PT session like Preparation Drills.
