Talk:General Orders for Sentries

Origin
If anyone has any information on who originally came up with these and when, I'd be very interested. The oldest reference I have is the Guidebook for Marines with a date of 1962, but I'd imagine the orders are older than that. Kafziel 21:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

As of 1964 the General Orders listed as being for the USMC were required to be memorized by the US Army. I don't think I will ever get them out of my head. Paul McFarland US Army DAV

Interestingly, this book refers to the general orders in an anecdote from 1944. Evidently, at that time there were only 10 (the 11th being the joke one). Kafziel Talk 09:42, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

In order no 8., does fire refer to flames or gunshots? It's currently linked to fire as in flames, so I just thought I'd make sure which is right.--AtTheAbyss (talk) 12:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

The external link to FM 22-6 is no longer usable, since the US Army no longer allows public access to it's online library. I've changed it to a non-military site, if anyone one else prefers a different one then go ahead and change it again.Azmountaintroll (talk) 01:09, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Linked to the Army's official site.  Online library is still publically accessible for most non-technical documents.dunerat (talk) 09:38, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
