It may be composed of anywhere from three men to a troop. In general we may state that if a patrol is sent solely to gain informa tion, it should contain as few men as possible, and if it is expected to fight it should be strong. However, a patrol should never be stronger than necessary. Weigh carefully what you must accomplish and send the minimum num ber that can do the work. The following will show the usual strength of the various kinds of patrols. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
