Description
Occupation of protective piquet positions by the advanced guard-work of camp colour parties principals of lay-out and protection of a perimeter camp-occupation of camp piquets. Though there are not so many detached "Subalterns' duties" in settling into camp, there are quite enough to try you high if you do not know them, and the first falls to the vanguard and main guard. You will remember that these were not used for the flank piquets; their job, apart from clearing the road, begins at the end of the march. For when the column commander thinks the column has reached as far as it is safe to go that night (he generally, if he is wise, settles this about noon, to give the miles of transport and his rear guard half a chance), he selects as good a camp site as he can, and the advanced guard commander, now that no more flanking piquets are to be sent up, starts with his advanced guard proper to close up the space between the two most advanced flanking piquets, and does it thoroughly. He sends parties up to seize any commanding ground from which the camp can be seriously sniped.
