The class is now conducted to a point where they have a view of an open
field some 1,200 yards distant. It may be assumed that the patrol has
marched several miles in order to arrive at this place.
The Director now distributes the sheets containing Situation No. 6.
=Situation No. 6=:
The patrol successfully evaded the enemy’s patrol, continued the march,
and without encountering any other enemy troops has arrived at this
point. The enemy patrol proceeded on down the road toward the outpost
line.
On arriving here you observe a force of the enemy marching into that
field. They are apparently going into bivouac. You estimate the enemy to
be one regiment of Infantry.
_Required_:
What action do you take?
