Send four groups of four men each, with leather armor and pipe rifles and 25 rounds of ammunition out on horseback to scout the area up to and including ten miles north, south, east, and west of Clearwater, primarily looking for any harvestable resource, be it animals, metals, artifacts, or natural. They will take enough food and water for a three week long trip. Upon completion of this task, they are to return to town posthaste. This takes precedence over military training.
