Which General Order addresses night vigilance and challenging all persons near the post?

• A. 7th General Order
• B. 11th General Order
• C. 4th General Order
• D. 9th General Order

Answer: (B)

The duty described is a direct instruction for sentries to stay highly alert at night and to actively challenge anyone who approaches or remains near the post. That emphasis on heightened vigilance and on denying access to unauthorized persons is what this general order codifies. It specifically calls you to be especially watchful at night, and during times of challenging, to challenge all persons on or near the post, and to permit passage only when they have proper authorization. This makes it the correct choice because it names both the critical action (challenging) and the context (night and near the post), which are the core requirements for that responsibility. Other orders cover different duties, like taking charge of the post, relaying instructions, or talking only when in the line of duty, but they do not address the night vigilance and access control required here.
