of the island at will
during working hours and on days

number of men
wounded and some killed by the enemy still at large on the
island. Personnel roaming the
island are also constantly running the risk of being killed
by our own patrols and ambushes
who have no knowledge that friendly troops are in the area.

of this command except those

on the island outside of the
above designated sectors, will be considered as restricted
areas and will not be traversed
by personnel of this command unless having authority
from their respective unit
commanders to enter.

Military Police and personnel performing guard duty in
restricted sectors are
hereby given authority to question all personnel found in
restricted sectors and to
require such personnel to show justification for their presence
in such areas. Person-
nel not being able to justify their presence in such
areas, will have their names (check

by the individual quest
ioning such personnel.
This information will be turned in to the unit commander
concerned. Personnel not wearing
identification tags will be apprehended and returned
