some
hundred yards away from the centre of the camp. O.C.'s are to select
positions for infantry and machine gun fire against aircraft attacking
camps.

No other units (except those detailed for the purpose) are to fire on
enemy aircraft, and machine-gun and infantry fire is not to be employed
against aeroplanes flying very high.

3. All existing means, and any which can be improvised are to be
employed to protect (men) against the sun, and measures must be taken to
meet cases in which tents are insufficient.

4. As far as Bir-el-Mazar, the covering troops need not be in great
strength. Beyond Bir-el-Mazar the covering forces must be strengthened
and precautions organised against surprise.

Patrols and sentries must be posted during daylight on all dominating
points, and Beduin camel scouts sent out to observe enemy movements and
report in time to the O.C.

In case of surprise the (situation of the) rallying points fixed upon
must be carefully kept in mind. These positions must be shown to
Officers who are Second-in-Command (lit. Assistant C.O.'s) and must be
defensively organised.

5. To avoid discovery by enemy aircraft, tents are to be covered with
earth, mud, scrub, etc.

6. Near camps "simili-camps" (Dummy Camps) are to be pitched in order to
attract the attention of aircraft. Holes are to be dug in the earth to
simulate tents.

7. When the troops are resting a few sentries are to be posted the
better to protect their repose.

8. In order to mark the whereabouts of C.O.'s and other high officers,
special indications must be placed on their quarters (tents).

9. In cases where detachments are separated by a considerable distance,
roads are to be indicated by simple signs.

10. On enemy aeroplanes coming in sight all ranks will lie down, and try
to bury themselves in the sand (Kumlar arasinda kendilerini gyome jek
dir) in order to avoid fragments of bombs.
