Which duty is described by the 2nd General Order?

• A. Obey my special orders and perform all duties in a military manner.
• B. Guard all property at the post.
• C. Report all anomalies to the commander.
• D. Always be in full dress at all times.

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is the guard’s duty to protect property at the post. The second General Order specifies guarding all property within the post and the limits of the post, ensuring security and preventing loss or damage. This duty defines the primary responsibility of a sentry: keep government property safe and be ready to report or address any threat or issue while remaining at the post until properly relieved. Among the options, the statement about guarding all property at the post directly reflects that obligation. The other statements describe general obedience, reporting anomalies, or dress requirements, none of which capture the specific duty of safeguarding property at the post.
