Patrolling
a method of covering a definite area of the terrain, air space, or water by patrol parties for the purpose of observation, defense, or security. Patrolling may be done on foot or by motorcycles, combat or transport vehicles, airplanes, helicopters, or ships. Patrolling consists of periodic walks, drives, flights, or cruises around the assigned areas or on definite routes. The composition of a patrol party depends on its mission and type and may include a group or subunit of servicemen and one or two aircraft or ships. Patrols are also organized in all garrisons to maintain order and military discipline among servicemen on the streets and in public places. For this purpose, garrison patrols are appointed, consisting of the patrol leader, who is an officer or a sergeant, and two or three patrol soldiers or seamen. In inhabited localities, on roads, and on the water, patrols may be organized by organs of the militia to maintain public order. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | Some considerating touch of humanity was in him; for at times like these, he usually abstained from patrolling the quarter-deck; because to his wearied mates, seeking repose within six inches of his ivory heel, such would have been the reverberating crack and din of that bony step, that their dreams would have been of the crunching teeth of sharks. Hence George, patrolling regularly every half-hour to the rooms so carefully looked after, extends his march to the hall-door, looks about him, and brings back the best report he can make of the worst of nights, the sleet still falling and even the stone footways lying ankle- deep in icy sludge. It was whisperingly asserted that footsteps, in the dead of night, had been heard descending the garret stairs, and patrolling the house. |
