The Director will now distribute the sheets bearing Situation No. 5 to the class and make such explanations as may be necessary.
The Problem
Situation No. 5:
The patrol has occupied a position at this point. At this moment you, Sergeant Wilkins, observe a party of enemy cavalry approaching along the road at a trot.
Two troopers are in the lead; at a distance of about 75 yards two more follow; about 150 yards in rear there are four more troopers with short distances between them. Apparently they have not observed your patrol.
Required:
What action do you take?
Procedure
The Director will point out to the members of the class the position of each of the troopers at the moment. They should be far enough away to allow the orders of Sergeant Wilkins to be given.
