Do you really want your troops to train without any measurement of proficiency on each step within the Individual Task?

You must instill the premise of Duty, Honor, Country-if that does not work the reality of dying in Battle should do the trick. I promise you that when a unit hits the fight many, even active duty pray that their holding stands up!

For me as a Platoon Leader, I would implement a battle buddy system where they are paired together, that way they could check up / spot / police up on one another without micro-managing.

Pay them, money is a good motivator!

I wouldn't even attempt it. If you want them to train, they need to be paid for it. No one should expect to work without compensation.
