A patrol was the monitoring of a specific area for a period of time by a group of personnel. Starships specifically designed for this task were designated patrol ships.
In the year 2266, the USS Enterprise was assigned to patrol the Earth Outpost Stations guarding the Romulan Neutral Zone. (TOS episode: "Balance of Terror")
