Which General Order requires giving the alarm in case of fire or disorder?

• A. Eighth General Order
• B. Ninth General Order
• C. Tenth General Order
• D. Fourth General Order

Answer: (A)

Sentries operate under a fixed set of orders that tell you exactly how to act in different situations. Among those, there is a clear directive for emergencies: when there is fire or disorder, you must immediately raise the alarm. This is the action that gets everyone’s attention and starts the proper chain of response—alerting the right people, initiating fire-safety procedures, and coordinating with others to control and manage the situation.

This rule is all about rapid notification. It ensures that the response isn’t delayed by uncertainty or hesitation, so you can help protect people and property and get help moving to the right place quickly. Other orders cover staying at the post, relaying calls, or passing along instructions, but they don’t specify the emergency alarm action. That focus on immediate alert when fire or disorder occurs is what makes this particular order the correct one.
