_Lieutenant Hunt_: “I should think they would include: The designation of the base Company; instructions for sending a reconnaissance officer and party of guides forward at once; designating the place where the leading elements of the battalion are to halt for the purpose of receiving final orders for the relief of the units of the 2nd battalion; designation of the place where unit commanders are to assemble to receive orders for the relief.” _The Director_: “Paragraph 4 of a field order includes administrative arrangements. Can you think of anything that would be necessary to be included in that paragraph of Major A’s orders?” _Lieutenant Hunt_: “I can think of nothing. That would depend upon circumstances. These administrative arrangements include: instructions for the trains—which have already been attended to; collecting station for wounded—which will be announced in a later order. It may be assumed that as soon as the advance halted that the rolling kitchen was brought up and the men given a hot meal before relieving the 2nd battalion. If such is the case the kitchen will have to be disposed of in paragraph 4.” _The Director_: “What will paragraph 5 contain?” _Lieutenant Hunt_: “It will contain information of the time when the present command post of the battalion will close and when and where it will next be opened.” _The Director_: “We have now covered the elements of the Major’s order. Let us review them briefly: “Paragraph 1: Information of the enemy and our own troops. “Paragraph 2: The Major’s plan of action in general terms. “Paragraph 3: Distribution of troops—orders for the various elements of the battalion. “Paragraph 4: Administrative arrangements. “Paragraph 5: Time of closing the present C. P. and when and where it will next open. “Now, I want each member of the class to write out the battalion commander’s order on his pad. Base your order on the dispositions that we have discussed in the solution of the problem; use the 5 paragraph order system; endeavor to include all the instructions that we have included in our solution.” Procedure The necessary time is allowed for the preparation of the order by the members of the class. As soon as the orders are completed the Director will distribute to the class the mimeograph sheets containing the order that he has prepared as a solution to the situation. He will read it aloud to the class and have each man compare it with the order that he, himself, has prepared. This solution order will be as follows: 1. The enemy continued his retreat during the day. Our 2nd battalion has halted along (_d_)[1] where it is in close contact with the enemy. Details of location of units will be given later. The attack will be continued tomorrow morning. The 3rd battalion relieves our battalion before (_g_)[1] tonight. When relieved the 2nd battalion goes to the regimental reserve.
