Lectures on Patrols, Advance Guards, and Outposts
Abstract
Last May at Camp Douglas, Wisconsin, was held a convention of the officers of the National Guard of that State. During the winter, in their correspondence school, they had studied patrolling, advance guards, and outposts. At their convention it was proposed to go over these subjects again and clear up misunderstandings. General Boardman who organized the whole scheme of instruction asked me to come up and help. The idea was for me to make a short talk on each subject and then on the ground explain fully each point, after which a map problem was given out for solution. Of course there was no set lecture; my notes were very brief; it was largely conversational, asking questions and answering more of them. Ground was selected that illustrated the different points. My work was in no way a substitute for Security and Information and the Field Service Regulations but was supplemental thereto.
