“‘In case of attack the outguards will be supported.’”
The Director: “Lieutenant Ralston, what elements does the rest of the order contain?”
Lieutenant Ralston: “The next paragraph contains the administrative arrangements. In the platoon the main thing is the messing of the men. They will all want to know about the arrangements for meals. I would say:
“‘Meals will be distributed to the outguards by details from the support.’
“The next item is the designation of the place where to send messages.
“Message to the support.”
“I would then direct: MOVE OUT.”
Procedure
The Director: “I believe we have gone over and discussed the salient features of the problem. Now, I desire each member of the class to write out Lieutenant M’s order on his pad. Try to get it in the proper form and use as far as possible the wording as stated by Captain Hodges, Captain Harvey and Lieutenant Ralston.”
When the written orders have been completed they are disposed of in the same manner as indicated under Situation No. 1.
