                            (5) Personnel who have been absent because of
         sickness will not be permitted to return to duty until cleared by

                            1. To the rear of the general bivouac area as
         terrain permits.

                            2. To accommodate a minimum of 8% of the
         command.

                            3. A minimum of 30 meters from the end of the
