The "line of obser- vation. " to brigadiers the ground to be occupied ; and brigadiers point out to officers commanding battalions the sections of the line to be watched by each. The component parts of outposts are the chain of double sentries, piquets, supports when required, detached posts, patrols, and reserve, all under a special commander; and if the length of front be great, one such commander has charge of every three miles. In the case of a battalion detailed for outpost duty, a staff o...fficer points out to the commanding officer the extent of front to be occupied, probably indicating some conspicuous house, clump of trees, or other object to mark each flank. The commanding officer selects the companies to furnish the piquets, and makes each captain take down in writing the general line of outposts ; the exact ground occupied by each piquet; what is known of the enemy's position and his movements ; the directions most requisite to patrol ; how to act when attacked ; the extent to which a post should be fortified ; how flags of truce, deserters, and others are to be received ; the nature and frequency of reports ; any changes that appear desirable at night, so that these positions may be examined by day.
