Faramir rides out of Minas Tirith with four companies of Men. Instead of crossing at Pelargir's still ruined bridges, they lay down (somewhat better) bridges at Osgiliath, and march south along the road through Ithilien.
After a day's march, he takes a large contingent of rangers and guards and rides out ahead of the marching army, in order to, essentially, forwarn the people of Harandor that they have no aims to mean them harm, and to eventually arrive at Umbar first.
He also has plans to do some diplomacy with those peoples, as he rides through.
