Lieutenant Barry: “I would go forward and join my two platoons at the enemy strong point.”

The Director: “Would you take any other action before doing that?”

Lieutenant Barry: “I think not, sir. I would want to know the situation up there as soon as possible.”

The Director: “What would you do, Lieutenant Hunt?”

Lieutenant Hunt: “I would send a messenger back to the 3rd platoon to get started on its way to the captured position.”

The Director: “Just how would you do that?”

Lieutenant Hunt: “I would turn to the runner of the 3rd platoon, who is with me and tell him:

“‘Take this message to the leader of the 3rd platoon: ‘The 3rd platoon will report to Captain C at the enemy strong point at once, moving by the shortest route.’

“I would have the runner repeat the message and make sure that he, himself, understands what is wanted.”
