What Are the 11 General Orders of the Military?

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

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.
