The OP basically asked how we shoot. I took the OP's original question to mean "basic marksmanship". There are so many different position, variables and techiniques, many of which are situation driven. It's also driven by the type of weapon you are using. Each weapon has a different form and function. But, the basics still apply to each one. If you can't repeat the basics, then you can't shoot the same each different time you shoot.
We could all agree that shooting while running and wearing a gas mask while wearing all your battle rattle is much different than shooting wearing blue jeans and a hoody at a shooting bench at the local range (which is how alot of the people on these forums shoot). In combat, I couldn't even put the butt where I normally would because my ballistic vest and gear wouldn't allow it.
If a person that has never shot before came to me and asked me how they should hold and shoot their rifle. I would teach them the basic stance with the rifle butt in the pocket I spoke of earlier (although there is much more to it than just that). I would hope to teach them the importance of repeatability and muscle memory. Once they've mastered the basics, then maybe I would teach them some of the more advance techniques.
