a) After the assembly point is designated, in case of dispersion, the patrol goes on reconnaissance, using the terrain for concealed movement. Suddenly — at the patrol leader’s whistle — dispersion occurs. Each scout vanishes from sight as quickly as possible. The patrol leader swiftly proceeds to the assembly point and from there observes how and when the scouts arrive, using cover and terrain irregularities to approach unseen. Who performs this task most skillfully? Then, an assessment of proficiency follows.

b) The White patrol moves along a precisely marked route, with a specific task to perform at a certain point. From the opposite direction, along the same route, the Red patrol advances. When they spot each other, at the patrol leader’s signal, both patrols disperse. The patrol leaders deliberately separate from their patrols, move quickly forward, and wait in concealment along the designated route for their scouts. Each leader reveals their presence to their arriving scouts. How quickly and effectively do the scouts regroup with their patrol leader? A patrol that has dispersed must always (unless an assembly point has been designated) regroup along the line of march, primarily to complete its task rather than chase the opponent. Therefore, scouts must always know this route.

After regrouping — a discussion of the adventure and identification of mistakes made.
