Which order directs the sentry to report violations of orders?

• A. 1st order
• B. 2nd order
• C. 3rd order
• D. None

Answer: (C)

Sentry duties rely on a fixed set of orders that guide every action on the post. The third general order specifically directs the guard to report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce. This makes reporting breaches a formal and expected part of the sentry’s responsibilities, ensuring that any breach is quickly brought to the attention of the proper authority and can be addressed to maintain discipline and accountability.

The first order is about taking charge of the post and protecting government property, and the second order focuses on marching the post and staying alert. Neither of these commands explicitly requires reporting violations, so they don’t satisfy the requirement of directing reporting breaches.
