An orderly usually accompanies
the officer wherever he goes, assists
or serves him in accordance with di-
rections, carries messages for him,
and the like.
Exterior guard duty consists of
keeping watch at distance from the
main body of troops. When camp
is within possible striking distance
from the enemy, 1t is necessary to
where they may observe an ap-
preaching enemy, give the alarm, and
IL possible check or stop his advance.
These parties are known as outposts.
When large body of troops is on
the march,, advance, rear, and flank
guards keep watch on the surround
ing country. In general, their duties
are similar TO those of outposts.
Scouting
One of the most responsible duties
to which a soldier may be assigned
is patrolling or scouting. An infan-
try patrol usually consists of from
three to sixteen men. 1t is sent out
for the purpose of obtaining informa-
ton as to the enemy, his numbers,
and the nature of the country over
which the patrol travels 1t is not
usually intended that the patrol
should fight. since its prime purpose
| Is TO OBTAIN ana pTlHB DACk lnIOrna-
tion. However, 1t may be forced to
fight, II discovered, In order to pro-
| tect the escape of at least one of its
members with a report of the infor-
nation secured.
Every soldier should be able to
find his way In strange country;
should know how to use a compass:
should know how to locate the north
star; should be able to travel across
| country, keeping given direction,
both by day and by night, and by OBJ
serving landmarks he should be ablo
| to return to the starting point
whether over the same route or by
| more cirouitous one. This can
easily be learned by little practice
1t adds a great deal to the value OF a
soldier If he knows how to use map
to find his way. If he knows how to
make a rough sketch of the country.

Privates, p. 1917
Perth Amboy evening news., 1917-09-07

In the training camp your company
will be required at times to perform
guard duty. This means that one or
more of your commissioned or nom
commissioned officers, and O number
OF privates will be detailed for this
duty. Customarily a detail of this
kind continues for twenty four hours,
from noon of one day to noon of the
next: each private takes his turn at
standing guard.
Personal Responsibility
Guard duty is especially recon-
mended as "of value in discipline and
training, because Of the direct indi-
vtdual responsibility which is i'm
posed and required to be discharged
in a definite and precise manner -
Manual of Interior Guard Duty, par.
81 Your duties as a sentinel are best
Expressed in the general orders which
every sentinel IL required to repeat
whenever called upon to do SO. Mem
orize these general orders now and
never permit yourself to forget them.
Think them over and you will see
that they are clear and exact They
are meant to be strictly obeyed.
My general orders are:
/. To take charge OF this post and
all government property in view.
3. To walk my post in military
manner. keeping always on the alert
and observing everything that takes
place within sight or hearing.
Z. To report all violations Of orders
am instructed to enforce.
(. To report all calls from posts
more distant from the guardhouse
than my own.
8. To quit my post only when pro-
perly relieved
Perth Amboy evening news., 1917-09-07


s. To receive, obey, and pass on to
the sentinel who relieves me all or
ders from the commanding officer,
officer of the day, and officers and
noncommissioned officers of the
guard only.
Z. To talk to no one except in line
of duty.
s, In case Of fire or disorder to
give the alarm.
9, To allow no one to commit a
nuisance on or near my post.
10. In any case not covered by in
structions to call the corporal of the
guard.
IL. To salute all officers, and all
colors and standards not cased.
IL. To be especially watchful at
night, and, during the time for chal-
lenging, to challenge all persons on
or near my post and to allow no one
to pass without proper authority.
Even though sentinel is only a
private soldier. he Is In position of
real dignity and authority. He rep
resents the commanding officer. He
must be respected and the orders he
gives as sentinel must be strictly
obeyed. not only by other soldiers but
by officers, whatever their rank
During the night the sentinel will
challenge any person or party who
comes near his post, calling out
sharply Halt. Who is there" The
person challenged, or one Of the party
|if there are several persons. may be
permitted to approach for the pur-
pose of giving the countersign or of
being recognized. In case OF doubt 1t
Is sentinels duty to prevent anyone
from passing him and to call the cor
poral of the guard. "A sentinel will
never allow himself to be surprised
nor permit two parties to advance on
him at the same time"
Duties of OrderIies
Members Of the guard may be as
signed to duty as orderlies to the
commanding officer or to other Off
GERS. For these positions the SOL
diers will be chosen who are most
correct in the performance OF duty
and In military bearing, neatest In
person and clothing. and whose arms
and accounterments are in the best
condition." 1t is decidedly a compli-
ment to any soldier to be designated
to serve as an orderly.

In addition to drilling and fighting
as member OF q squad company,
regiment, or other team OF the
Army, you will have certain impor-
tant duhes as an individual soldier.
THESE duties call for q higher grade
Of intelligence and seif-reliance and
throw on you grearer personal re-
Eponsibility.
This is not something to be dread
ed or avoided. As you develop the
soldierly qualities you will jump at
every chance to take responsibility
and to distinguish yourself by the
courage and good Judgment with
which you act.
Probably your simplest individual
duty will be that of an interior guard.
