Which General Order requires you to give the alarm in case of fire or disorder?

• A. General Order #7
• B. General Order #8
• C. General Order #9
• D. General Order #10

Answer: (B)

The situation tests your duty to respond to emergencies by raising an immediate alarm. In the set of General Orders that govern a sentry’s responsibilities, the instruction that tells you to give the alarm in case of fire or disorder is the one that directs you to alert others right away so help can be summoned and arrangements can be made to control the situation. This rapid alerting is crucial to protect people and property, prevent the fire or disorder from escalating, and to coordinate the official response.

Other general orders cover duties like staying at your post, reporting all calls, or following commands, none of which specifically mandate issuing the alarm for fire or disorder. So the order that explicitly requires you to give the alarm in that scenario is the correct one.
