Which General Order requires you to walk your post in a military manner, keeping alert and observing everything within sight or hearing?

• A. General Order #2
• B. General Order #1
• C. General Order #4
• D. General Order #8

Answer: (A)

The test is checking your recall of the specific instruction given to sentries about movement, vigilance, and observation. The line that directs you to walk your post in a military manner, remain always on the alert, and observe everything within sight or hearing is the exact wording of the second general order. That phrasing captures the duty of constant, disciplined movement on post combined with vigilant observation of everything you can see or hear. It’s distinct from other orders, which cover different responsibilities such as taking charge of the post and property, reporting violations, or sounding an alarm in emergencies. So this particular directive is the best match because it states both how you should move and what you should be watching for.
