 An Infantry Section moving through close
jungle country, either independently as a patrol
or as the leading section of a platoon, is liable
to encounter the enemy at short ranges. There
may be insufficient time for the section
commander to appreciate the situation and
issue orders before battle is joined, and to
enable the section to take immediate action
against the enemy without orders.
