_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.”
