A patrol is heading to a destination, one hour’s march away, following a strictly designated route and having several tasks to complete during the march at specified locations, e.g., two halts, measuring the width of a river, signaling with a semaphore from two hills, etc. At the destination, they are to set up camp. However, they are unaware that a second patrol has the task of tracking them without revealing their presence. Can the second patrol reach the destination unnoticed and observe the first patrol setting up camp? Can they accurately report the activities the first patrol performed during the march? Conversely, will the first patrol notice they are being followed, and if so, can they evade the tracker, mislead the pursuit, and set up camp undetected?
