when accompanied by an Officer, or for the purpose of visiting an
Officer. For the latter purposes, they will be permitted to cross all
sentinels' posts except those of Nos. 3 and 5. The Officer of the Day,
and the Officer and Non-commissioned Officers of the Guard, together
with the sentinels, will, when they observe citizens in camp for any
