Which General Order requires you to report violations of your special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in your instructions to your commander of the relief?

• A. First General Order
• B. Second General Order
• C. Third General Order
• D. Fourth General Order

Answer: (C)

When you’re on post, you must keep the chain of command informed about anything that could affect the post’s security or operations. The Third General Order is the one that requires you to report violations of the orders you’re instructed to enforce, any emergencies, and anything not covered by your instructions to your commander of the relief. This ensures that issues are addressed by the appropriate authority and that there is a clear record of what happened and how it was handled. In practice, if you see a rule violated, something dangerous occurs, or you encounter a situation your instructions don’t explicitly cover, you report it up to the relief commander so they can take the proper action. Other orders cover basics like standing post, obeying and enforcing specific orders, or repeating distant calls, but they don’t consolidate the responsibility to report violations, emergencies, and unanticipated situations to the relief commander in a single directive.
