Which statement corresponds to General Order 2?

• A. I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.
• B. I will maintain personal hygiene at all times.
• C. I will obey my special orders and perform all of my duties in a military manner.
• D. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the commander of the relief.

Answer: (C)

General Order 2 is about following special orders and carrying out all duties in a military manner. In a guard role, general orders cover broad responsibilities, while special orders are the specific instructions given for a particular post or situation. The phrase about obeying those special orders and performing duties in a military manner emphasizes two key behaviors: strict obedience to direct instructions and conducting oneself with discipline, professionalism, and adherence to procedures. This combination is what keeps the guard operation coordinated and effective.

The other statements refer to different expectations: guarding the post and leaving only when relieved aligns with a different general order, personal hygiene is a separate standard, and reporting violations or emergencies isn’t the same focus as General Order 2.
