The point is the patrol member assigned to scout ahead of the main body. His job is to be on the lookout for the enemy, fortifications, & obstacles, reporting all observed to the patrol leader.
The sweep is the man assigned to bring up the rear. His job is to guard against attack from the rear, and to report to the patrol leader any patrol members who have fallen out of formation.

He's known as the trail man. As in, PFC Joe is taking trail. Sometimes it's referred to as "bringing up the rear".
