Line of supports on line of resistance.
Rallying point for small groups in front.
Note that distances from the line of observation to the main body
increase as the groups increase in size. The reserves are the largest
groups. The groups on the Line of observation are the smallest.
It is most important to note that the groups are placed according to
the conditions and circumstances of the particular case. Don't follow
any blind rules. Your judgment must tell you when to place this group
here and not to place that group there. Have as few men on such duty as
practicable.
If a swamp, or a large body of water here, very small groups will
afford the necessary security.
If a forest, or steep hills here, very small parties will afford the
necessary security.
Assume that we want to afford security for our main body from any
especially dangerous sector such as ABC.
