You, Corporal Canes, are right here (indicate). You hear a slight noise in that direction (indicate). In a moment you see the dim outline of a man. He is armed with a rifle which he seems to be carrying at the position of “High Port.” He is stooping forward and moving very cautiously towards you. Apparently he has not seen you. _Required_: What action do you take? Procedure The Director will read the situation aloud and indicate where Corporal Canes is and where the man is. (Note.—The place selected for this situation should be chosen with great care. It should preferably be in a woods with some underbrush and some cleared places. The place where the patrol is located when the situation is given out should preferably be at the near edge of one of these clearings.) Explanation _The Director_: “Now I want each member of the class to visualize the situation as it exists. You are reminded that it is supposed to be night and you should base your decisions and actions on that assumption.” Solution _The Director_: “Captain Hastings, what would you do?” _Captain Hastings_: “Am I to understand that the man approaching is one of our own force or one of the enemy?” _The Director_: “That is one of the points of the problem. You do not know yet whether he is a friend or enemy. It is dark and impossible to tell. You merely see the outlines of a man. He is crouching. Has his rifle at a ‘High Port’ which places it in readiness for instant action.” _Captain Hastings_: “I would not want to shoot one of our own men. I guess I would halt and wait and see what he is going to do.”
