Drill Routine Simulator

A free tool for planning and visualising Canadian Armed Forces drill — build a sequence of movements, run it, and scrub the timeline.

About the creator

Built by Matthew Dodd — a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces and a current civilian instructor with the Canadian Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers (CJCR). This simulator began as a personal project to make planning and rehearsing parade-square drill faster and more visual.

Reference

Drill movements and member symbols follow the CF Manual of Drill & Ceremonial (A-DH-201).
