Code of Conduct Article III conveys which idea?

• A. If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
• B. I will surrender and sign a parole.
• C. I will surrender and reveal secrets.
• D. I will pretend to resist but not actually.

Answer: (A)

The idea tested is the obligation of a service member who is captured: to keep resisting, to try to escape, to help others escape, and to reject any parole or favors offered by the enemy. The statement that matches this is the one that says: if I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available, I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape, and I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. It perfectly embodies steadfast resistance, personal integrity, and duty even under capture.

The other options describe actions that would contradict that duty: surrendering and signing a parole, surrendering and revealing secrets, or pretending to resist without actually resisting. Those behaviors would compromise the commitment to resist and could aid the enemy, which is why they don’t fit Article III.
