The troops have been turned over to you and you have been directed to move out.
Required:
Carry out your mission.
Procedure
The Director reads the situation aloud and calls upon one or more members of the class to state his understanding of it.
The Director: “Now, I want each member of the class to consider himself as being Sergeant X. You have your troops right here on the road and everything is ready to proceed with the work in hand. Just how do you go about carrying out your mission? Lieutenant Wallace, what is the first move you would make?”
Lieutenant Wallace: “I would want to get my men away from the rest of the platoon so I can give them their instructions without having their attention diverted by other things.”
The Director: “All right. Let us assume that you have done so and you have them right here. We are now ready to proceed. Go ahead with your solution.”
Solution
Lieutenant Wallace: “In the first place, I would not want the men to be burdened with their packs, so I would have them taken off and piled here.”
