_The Director_: “Lieutenant Ralston, just what would you do under the
circumstances?”
_Lieutenant Ralston_: “I would interpret the actions of the leading man
to indicate that he has observed the enemy and that they are in small
numbers. I would signal the patrol to halt and then signal ‘DOWN,’ which
would indicate to the men that they are to take cover. I would then join
the leading man to see for myself what is happening out in front.”
_The Director_: “I think we may all agree that your solution up to this
point is correct. Now, let us assume that the leading man is at ——
(indicate exact location) and you are here. I want you to show the class
exactly how you would join him.
(Note.—Lieutenant Ralston gives the practical demonstration and the
class moves up to where the leading man is supposed to be.)
“Is there any member of the class that would do it differently?”
(Note.—If any member has any criticism of the solution, have him go
back to the starting point and demonstrate how he would do it.)
