_The Director_: “We have sized up the situation and arrived at a
decision. It is now necessary to put that decision into an order. We
assume that the platoons have arrived at the rendezvous and the platoon
commanders have reported to you here for orders.
“Now I want each member of the class to write out the order that he
would give at this time. You may omit the first paragraph;—information
of the enemy and our own troops. It would be much the same as that
contained in the Major’s order. We will assume that you have already
given that to the platoon commanders. Start your order with paragraph
2.”
When all the members of the class have completed their work the sheets
will be collected and again distributed, making sure that no officer
gets his own paper back again.
The Director will call upon one or more members of the class to read the
order he has in his possession and it will then be discussed.
When all of this discussion is finished the Director will distribute the
mimeographed sheets containing a copy of the Captain’s order. Each
member of the class will receive his solution back again and compare it
with the solution submitted by the Director.
