[7]. In making a solution to this situation on the ground, the exact location of each man of the point, and especially the automatic rifleman, should be indicated and staked out.
[8]. The details of the advance against the enemy’s position should be discussed by the class and worked out on the ground. It is impossible to consider it in the abstract.
[9]. Captain James would include in his dispositions any flank patrols that would be out at this time.
[10]. The terrain may be such as to cause a reversal of this disposition. The idea is that the support on the flank should be posted so as to cover the most exposed flank.
[11]. See explanation of Symbols.
[12]. In the preparation of the Terrain Exercise and fitting the problem to the ground, the Director should decide upon the location of the line of observation and the line of resistance and bring out the points indicated above. He should decide upon the location of the outguards and their strength.
[13]. The Director should take advantage of every opportunity to get members of the class to ask questions. It is by this means that we are able to bring out the tactical points of the problems and make them clear. If no questions are asked, it is natural to assume that the members of the class understand everything that is under discussion, whereas many of them may not understand at all. The more questions a Director can get out of a class the more effective will the training be.
[14]. The members of the class are already familiar with the detailed dispositions of outguard No. 2.
[15]. If there is no map available the support commander should indicate as well as practicable the location of the enemy and the road.
