General Order #2 requires you to walk your post in a military manner and remain alert.

• A. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert, observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.
• B. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.
• C. To quit my post only when properly relieved.
• D. To receive, obey, and pass on to the sentry who receives me: all orders from the commanding officer, officer of the day, and officers and non-commissioned officers of the guard only.

Answer: (A)

General Order 2 is about how you conduct yourself while on guard: you walk with military bearing and stay constantly alert. The statement that matches this duty exactly says to walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert, observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing. It captures both the posture and the vigilance expected on sentry duty—the core idea is to present a disciplined bearing and to be actively aware of everything around you.

The other statements describe separate guard responsibilities: reporting violations, leaving the post only when properly relieved, and receiving and passing on orders from the commanding officers and the guard. While these are important duties for a guard, they address different aspects of duty rather than how you should move and stay watchful on your post.
