Snitch

Snitches, so called because of their habit of fleeing danger to warn their allies, were soldiers who served in militaries for the purpose of raising morale.

Combat

Snitches in British and Continental patrols in the American Revolution were usually accompanied by five or more soldiers, but they were occasionally deployed with a single officer. Regardless, when the unit was attacked, they generally ran from the battlefield to call for reinforcements. If they could not run, they usually wielded small weapons as a last resort.
