General Orders must be memorized by all military personnel in 'boot camp.' The duty of standing watch and guarding your post is the most basic military skill. The principles laid down in the Orders are fundamental to the mission of the military. Failure to follow these General Orders can be grounds for Court Martial, and during wartime, the penalties can be most severe. Desertion of your post in wartime is betrayal of your country and fellow soldiers to the enemy.
