Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ...it as follows: Zone of Action: West boundary: Same as west boundary of division, or, same as east boundary of 1st Brigade. 72. When it is necessary to prescribe zones of action, the zone of action of the unit issuing the order is given in paragraph 2.

It is done by giving the names of terrain features, stating to which unit they belong, either in paragraph 2, or in the subparagraphs dealing with the units. The former is preferable. For example, in a division order: "Boundary line between brigades: Harney--Koon--Trustle (all to 1st Brigade)." 75. Boundaries are necessary in the control of units, particularly large ones, to prevent interference; to fix responsibility for covering definite territory; and to insure that units are in localities where they are needed or desired for further action.
