A sentry squad Is a squad posted tn observation at an Indicated point. A cuossck post consists of four men. It Is a^ observation group similar to a sentry squad, but employs only a single sentinel. Sentinels era generally used singly In the daytime, but double at night. Patrols or Biatinels must be th# Bret troops which the enemy meets and each body In the rear should have time to prepare for th# blow. When he once understands the principle of outpost, advance guard or patrol duty.
