General Order #6 requires you to receive, obey, and pass on to the sentry who receives you all orders from the commanding officer, officer of the day, and officers and non-commissioned officers of the guard only.

• A. 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.
• B. To talk to no one except in the line of duty.
• C. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.
• D. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.

Answer: (A)

General Order Six centers on how a sentry handles commands. It requires you to receive, obey, and pass on to the sentry who receives you all orders from the commanding officer, officer of the day, and officers and non-commissioned officers of the guard only. This wording establishes who is authorized to issue instructions and ensures the command stays within the official chain of command, moving from one guard to the next without involving others. The emphasis on “pass on” keeps communication clear and continuous so every on-duty guard knows the current orders.

The other options describe duties that belong to different orders or general guidelines, not the exact instruction about from whom you may receive and relay orders.
