Which option correctly lists the three general orders?

• A. 1. I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved. 2. I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner. 3. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the Commander of the Relief.
• B. I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.
• C. I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner.
• D. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the commander of the relief.

Answer: (A)

The three general orders define the duties of a sentry: guard everything within the post and stay there until properly relieved; obey special orders and perform all duties in a military manner; and report violations, emergencies, or anything not covered by instructions to the Commander of the Relief. The correct choice includes all three statements in one, which is exactly what’s being asked—to list the three general orders. The other options each present only a single order, leaving out the others and thus not fully answering the prompt. Remembering all three together shows you understand the expectations for vigilance, discipline, and proper reporting in the chain of command.
