The Director: “Captain Hall, having in mind what I have just said, what orders would you give your sentinels?”
Captain Hall: “I would give them the following orders:
“‘You have all the information of the enemy and our own troops.
“‘You are double sentinel post No. 1 of outguard No. 2 of support No. 1. Outguard No. 1 is —— (point out location). Outguard No. 3 is —— (point out location). Information of the exact location of the sentinel posts will be given to you later.
“‘This road leads to ——. That trail leads in the direction of ——. That —— is known as the ——.
(Note—Locate and name other important topographical features in view.)
“‘If you see the enemy, signal to me at the outguard.
“‘The countersign will be given to you later.’”
The Director: “I think that covers the orders for your sentinel very well. The big idea is that we should not burden them with too many things to think about. We will omit the written solution of this part of the problem.”
