Which statement is the 3rd General Order?

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

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that some general orders define how a guard handles information and escalation. The third order specifically requires you to report any violations of orders, emergencies, or anything not covered in your instructions to the commander of the relief. This ensures issues are brought to the right person promptly, so the right actions can be taken and security isn’t compromised during the handoff to relief. So this statement lines up exactly with that directive: it focuses on reporting and directing concerns up the chain of command at the moment of relief. The other statements cover different duties—keeping a weapon clean is about maintenance, guarding the post and leaving only when relieved is the duty described by the first general order, and obeying special orders and performing duties in a military manner is part of overall conduct but not the specific reporting requirement of the third order.
