Which General Order states you may quit my post only when properly relieved?

• A. General Order #4
• B. General Order #5
• C. General Order #6
• D. General Order #7

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is that leaving a post must only happen after someone properly takes over—the guard must be relieved before exiting. This ensures continuous surveillance and accountability, so there’s no gap in guarding the post. The line about quitting the post only when properly relieved makes this requirement explicit: you stay at your post until the designated relieving guard arrives, is relieved, and the handover is done. That explicit condition is what makes this general order the correct one. Other general orders cover different duties—taking charge of the post, walking it in a prescribed manner, reporting violations, and so on—but none state the departure condition as clearly as this one.
