Which statement describes General Order No 3?

• A. I will stand at the post during my tour of duty
• B. I will report emergencies to the commander of the relief
• C. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the commander of the relief
• D. I will depart the post only with explicit orders

Answer: (C)

General Order No. 3 requires a guard to report any violations of the orders they are enforcing, any emergencies, and anything not covered by their instructions to the commander of the relief. This covers all the unexpected and potentially risky situations, making sure the right person with the authority to act is informed quickly and the post can be managed safely. That is why the statement describing this duty—to report violations, emergencies, and anything not covered in instructions to the commander of the relief—best fits. Other statements focus on standing post, or on reporting emergencies only, or on leaving the post only with explicit orders, which don’t capture the full scope of No. 3.
