General Orders for Sentries is the official title of a set of rules governing guard duty in the United States military. While any guard posting has rules that may go without saying ("Stay awake", for instance), these orders are carefully detailed and particularly stressed in the United States Navy, United States Marine Corps, and United States Coast Guard. Also known as the "11 General Orders" or simply "The General Orders", the list is meant to cover any possible scenario a sentry might encounter on duty.
Recruits learn these orders verbatim while at boot camp and are often expected to retain the knowledge to use for the remainder of their military careers. It is not uncommon for a Drill Instructor or (after boot camp) an inspecting officer to ask a question such as, "What is your sixth general order?" and expect an immediate (and correct) reply.
1. To take charge of this post and all government property in view.
2. To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.
3. To report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce.
4. To repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse (or the Quarterdeck) than my own.
5. To quit my post only when properly relieved.
6. To receive, obey, and pass on to the sentry who relieves me, all orders from the Commanding Officer, Officer of the Day, and Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers of the guard only.
7. To talk to no one except in the line of duty.
8. To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.
9. To call the Corporal of the Guard in any case not covered by instructions.
10. To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.
11. To be especially watchful at night and during the time for challenging, to challenge all persons on or near my post, and to allow no one to pass without proper authority.
Note: All recruits will sound off in a loud, clear voice when asked for a particular order as shown in the following example:
Commanding Officer: "Recruit, what is the fifth General Order?"
Recruit: Sir/Ma'am, the fifth General Order is: Quit my post only when properly relieved.
