For further information on judo holds and defenses, attention is directed to the Army's Field Manual 21-150. All hands must always remember never to use unnecessary force, or to hurt an individual unnecessarily. Instruction in judo is intended to give the shore patrolman self-confidence, to speed his reflexes, and to cope successfully with violent prisoners.

CHAPTER 10

TRAFFIC CONTROL

The Shore Patrol is responsible at times for the control of motor traffic, and members of shore patrol units should be familiar with standard manual control signals. They should also know where to take a station at an intersection to direct traffic properly and to maintain their personal safety.

The Navy uses the same system of manual signals for traffic control as the Army and Air Force. Familiarize yourself with this system. It will enable you to present your signals in a clear manner with no misunderstandings. Improper or sloppily given signals cause hesitation and confusion, and may result in accidents. They make your work more difficult and less effective. Prompt and proper compliance with your signals will depend largely on the manner in which you make them. Remember that signals must be so made that they are clearly visible, and readily understandable. Signals must always be made in exactly the same way, and according to the system described in this chapter.

Signals are made by arm movements; a lighted baton being used at night at unlighted intersections. A whistle is sometimes used to attract attention, prevent violations, and to warn drivers of a change in the direction of the flow of traffic. You will give verbal directions only when talking directly to a driver or passenger who has asked for information. Directions will never be shouted; they can be given much more clearly by proper arm signals. If you are assigned to work with a partner at a busy intersection, one of you will give the basic signals regu
