Which order to the sentry requires quitting the post only when properly relieved?

• A. 4th order to the sentry
• B. 5th order to the sentry
• C. 9th order to the sentry
• D. 11th order to the sentry

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that a sentry must maintain guard duty until properly relieved. The order that explicitly states “you guard everything within the limits of your post and quit your post only when properly relieved” sets this rule in stone. It ensures continuous coverage and prevents any gap in security while a relief takes place. Other orders cover tasks like passing on commands, reporting violations, or restricting who may approach, but they don’t define the specific quitting condition. So this particular order is the one that mandates leaving the post only when properly relieved.
