Which is the third General Order?

• A. I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner
• B. I will keep watch for hazards
• C. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the commander of relief
• D. I will ensure the safety of my team at all times

Answer: (C)

General Orders guide a sentry on what to do while on duty, and the third order centers on reporting. It requires you to report violations of orders you are instructed to enforce, as well as emergencies and anything not covered by your instructions, to the commander of relief. This ensures problems are handled through the proper chain of command and prevents gaps in communication or attempts to handle issues solo. By escalating such issues, you help maintain order and accountability, letting the right person decide the correct action. Other statements point to different duties covered by the remaining general orders or standard-duty expectations, but they don’t capture the explicit duty to report violations and unaddressed situations to the relief commander like this one does.
