Which General Order requires you to report all violations of orders you are instructed to enforce?

• A. General Order #3
• B. General Order #6
• C. General Order #7
• D. General Order #1

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is accountability on the post. This general order makes it explicit that a sentry must report every violation of the orders they are charged with enforcing, so any breach is brought to the attention of the chain of command and addressed through proper channels. Reporting, rather than ignoring or taking matters into personal hands, keeps the post secure, preserves discipline, and prevents small infractions from escalating. If you observe someone bypassing a posted rule or acting contrary to instructions you’re responsible for enforcing, you report it through the appropriate authority, which ensures a timely and proper response. Other general orders cover different duties, such as guarding the post, obeying special instructions, or taking action in case of danger, but they don’t specifically mandate reporting every violation like this one does.
