Military patrol was featured in the Winter Olympic Games programme four times: 1924, 1928, 1936, and 1948.

[1] Medals were awarded for military patrol in 1924, but it was a demonstration event for the other three Winter Games.

The official website of the IOC now treats military patrol at the 1924 Games as a separate discipline, without mixing it with the sports of skiing or biathlon.

[2][3] However, the 1924 Official Report treats it as an event within the sport of skiing.
