General Order #3 instructs you to perform which action?

• A. To take charge of this post and all government property in view.
• B. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert.
• C. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.
• D. To call the officer of the deck in any case not covered by instructions.

Answer: (C)

This general order centers on reporting violations of orders you are instructed to enforce. As a sentry, you’re responsible for upholding the rules you’re tasked with enforcing, and when you observe someone breaking those orders, you must report it so the proper authorities can handle it. This keeps accountability clear and ensures violations are addressed through the appropriate chain of command. The other duties described in different general orders—taking charge of the post, walking the post, or calling the Officer of the Deck for cases not covered by instructions—relate to other aspects of post duties, not the obligation to report violations.
