What Are the 11 General Orders of the Military?
By Staff Writer
Last Updated August 04, 2015

Service members in all branches of the U.S. armed forces must abide by the 11 General Orders, which are the military organizations’ set of rules for all members serving as sentries. For this reason, the rules are formally known as the 11 General Orders for Sentries, a “sentry” being a guard or on watch. Recruits must not take the rules lightly but must thoroughly learn them.


The 11 General Orders are as follows:

Take charge of this post and all government property in view

Walk the post in a military manner, always keeping alert and observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing

Report all violations of orders I am instructed to enforce

Repeat all calls from posts more distant from the guardhouse than my own

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's been nearly 50 years since I even thought of them.  They are a good reminder of the way the military used to be. :patriot:
