11 General Orders

The 11 General Orders outline the duties and responsibilities of a sentinel guarding a post. The orders instruct the sentinel to take charge of the area within sight or hearing, walk their post attentively while remaining alert, report any violations, relay calls from distant posts, only leave when properly relieved, obey and pass on orders from commanding officers, talk only to those on duty, sound alarms if needed, call for guidance if unsure how to respond, salute officers and colors, and be especially vigilant at night by challenging all persons on or near the post.
