Officers estimate eight to twelve towns per unit with six officers and six enlisted men, lacking MPs, and rely on local loyalty while vetting future mayors through counter intelligence. Food rations aim to force Germans to feed themselves with army aid in emergencies, and women face restricted patrol hours to maintain order.
