SECTION II. INTRODUCTION Method of instruction: Conference (CO) Instructor to student ratio is: 1 : 55 Time of instruction (minutes): 5 Media: Motivator

As a soldier, you will be required to perform guard duty. You must become proficient in all aspects of this duty in order to protect and preserve government property and enforce all orders and regulations you receive. Guard duty requires sound judgment, common sense, pride in personal appearance, and self-discipline.

Note: Show: FIGURE 1 (Guard Duty) Note:

Show: FIGURE 2 (Introduction)

Value Motivator: Guard duty may be boring and monotonous most of the time. It will be easy at times not to follow procedure or stay alert. But while you are on guard duty, your entire unit is counting on you for their security. You are entrusted with their well being and protection. How you stand your post while on guard duty is a reflection on both you and your unit. You will be required to clearly and accurately pass all orders, render proper courtesies, and give the alarm in the event of an emergency. You will be the first line of defense for your unit and others. They are counting on you to follow proper procedures at all times. Guard duty is a tremendous responsibility. You never know how or when the enemy is going to strike! Doing your duty to the best of your ability is indicative of loyalty, selfless service, integrity, and personal courage.

Terminal Learning Objective

Note: Inform the students of the following terminal learning objective requirements. At the completion of this lesson, you [the student] will:

ACTION: Perform the duties of a sentinel on guard. CONDITION: On a guard post. STANDARD: Correctly perform the duties of a sentinel on guard in

accordance with the special orders and recite general orders without error.

INTRODUCTION, Continued Safety Requirements

None

Risk Assessment Level

This class is assigned a risk level of MEDIUM. Potential risk: produced locally.

Environmental Considerations

It is the responsibility of all soldiers and DA civilians to protect the environment from damage. Units/installations will prepare an environmental risk assessment using the before, during, and after checklist and the risk assessment matrices contained in The Unit Leader's Handbook for Environmental Stewardship (TC-5-400, Chapter 5). The checklist should be supplemented locally using state and local environmental regulations applicable to your area.

Evaluation

Performance on this terminal learning objective will be reinforced during the end-of-phase test and the field training exercise. Soldiers must receive a “GO” on the end-of-phase test and be able to satisfactorily accomplish the tasks in a field environment.

Instructional Lead-in

Locally produced.

SECTION III. PRESENTATION Enabling Learning Objective A

Note: Inform the students of the Enabling Learning Objective requirements.

ACTION: Introduce the soldier to guard duty. CONDITION: In a classroom. STANDARD: The soldiers will understand:

1. Differences between interior guard and exterior guard. 2. Duties of a sentinel on guard. 3. Composition and purposes of interior guard, exterior guard, and special orders.

Method of instruction: Conference (CO)/Demonstration (DM) Instructor to student ratio is: 1 : 55 Time of instruction (minutes): 20 Media: Viewgraphs References: Security Classification: 1.

Types and Composition of Guard

Note: Show: FIGURE 3 (Types of Guard)

a. Explain and discuss the two types of guard (interior and exterior guard). Interior guards protect property and enforce specific military regulations. Exterior guards are lookouts, listening posts, outposts, and guard posts in a combat zone.

Note: Show: FIGURE 4 (Composition of Interior Guard)

b. Explain and discuss the composition of the Interior Guard.

c. An interior guard is detailed by commanders of military installations to protect property and enforce specific military regulations. The installation commander is responsible for the interior guard of the installation, and he prescribes the composition of the guard.

PRESENTATION, Continued Enabling Learning Objective A

(continued)

Note: Show: FIGURE 5 (Interior Guard)

d. The elements of an interior guard are classified according to their purpose. They include the main guard and special guards. The main guard consists of a combination of patrols and fixed posts. Special guards are used to protect parks, trains, boats, aircraft, and for other special purposes.

Note:

Reserve guards are maintained at the guardhouse large enough to meet any local emergency.

e. Exterior guards are those guards whose duties and responsibilities are different from those set down for interior guards. Exterior guard is not as formal and restricted as interior guard. Classified as exterior guards are lookouts, listening posts, outposts, (specifically designated patrols), other guards in combat zones, field training areas, and guards outside the limits of military installation. Exterior guards perform their duties as prescribed by special orders and instructions.

Note: Conduct a check on learning and summarize the learning activity.

2.

Sentinel

Note:

Show: FIGURE 6 (Sentinel (Guard))

(Lead-in) The sentinel must ensure he guards and protects the post to which he is assigned. The sentinel’s performance reflects directly on his unit and himself. You must look and act professional at all times.

a. Privates and specialists are normally assigned posts. Noncommissioned officers may be assigned posts at the discretion of the commanding officer.

b. Guards are assigned to reliefs by the sergeant of the guard and to posts by the commander of their relief. Guards are not changed from one relief to another without proper authority.


10

PRESENTATION, Continued Enabling Learning Objective A

(continued)

c. They must memorize, understand, and comply with the general orders for guards. In addition, guards must understand and comply with special orders applying to their particular posts, including the use of the countersign and password if they are in effect.

Note:

Discuss the appearance of the sentinel.

Note: Show: FIGURE 7 (Other Terms)

d. Other terms: Supernumerary is the best sentinel during the guard mount and does not perform guard unless he is required to replace someone. The Soldier of the Day does not pull guard - he serves as orderly for the Brigade Commander.

Note:

Conduct a check on learning and summarize the learning activity.


11

PRESENTATION, Continued Enabling Learning Objective B

ACTION: Recite general orders. CONDITION: In a classroom. STANDARD: Recite general orders without error. Method of instruction: Conference (CO) Instructor to student ratio is: 1 : 55 Time of instruction (minutes): 20 Media: References: Security Classification: 1.

Types of Orders

a. A guard on post is governed by two types of orders: general orders and special orders. General orders outline the fundamental responsibilities of a guard, while special orders instruct him in the actual performance of his duty while on a particular post. General orders for both interior and exterior guards must be supplemented by realistic, detailed, and mission-oriented special orders carefully tailored for the specific post and situation from the viewpoint of security and sentry effectiveness and protection. The special orders for each post must be reviewed frequently to ensure that they do not become obsolete. A special order may be added to a guard post for a specific length of time to cover a certain situation and deleted at the end of a specified time, or on a certain date.

b. All interior guards are required to memorize, understand, and comply with the following general orders:

1. I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.

2. I will obey my special orders and perform all my duties in a military manner.

3. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions, to the commander of the relief.



12


(continued)

2. Meaning of the General Orders

Note: Show: FIGURE 8 (General Order Number 1)

Number 1. I WILL GUARD EVERYTHING WITHIN THE LIMITS OF MY POST AND QUIT MY POST ONLY WHEN PROPERLY RELIEVED.

a. The guard is responsible for everything that occurs within the limits of his post

while he is on duty. He is also responsible for all equipment and property located within the limits of his post. The exact limits of his post are defined by special orders.

b. A guard investigates immediately every unusual or suspicious occurrence on or near this post, provided he does not have to leave his post to do so. If necessary, the guard will contact the commander of the relief for instructions.

c. A guard apprehends all suspicious persons and all persons involved in a disorder occurring on or near his post, provided he does not have to leave his post to do so. In apprehending persons, the guard will use only necessary force to overcome any resistance. Apprehension of persons should be included in special orders or guard instructions. All persons apprehended are turned over to the commander of the relief.

d. All persons, regardless of rank, are required to respect members of the guard in

the performance of their duties.

e. A guard will remain on post and continue to perform all duties required on that post until he is relieved by proper authority.

f. If a guard requires relief because of sickness or for any other reason, he will

notify the commander of the relief and wait until he is replaced by another guard or has permission from the proper authorities to leave his post.

g. If a guard is not relieved at the expiration of the tour of duty, he does not abandon his post. He will contact the commander of the relief for instructions.


13


(continued)

h. Guards leave their posts for meals as specifically directed by the commanding officer. Normally, this is accomplished by arranging for early and late meals for guards going on and coming off post.

i. When ordered by proper authority, or prescribed in the special orders, a guard on the last relief of a post may be directed to leave the post at the proper time and return to the guardhouse, where he reports to the commander of the relief on duty.


Number 2. I WILL OBEY MY SPECIAL ORDERS AND PERFORM ALL MY DUTIES IN A MILITARY MANNER.

a. A guard will familiarize himself with the special orders for his post prior to

being posted. The guard will obey, execute, and enforce all special orders pertaining to his post. Special orders should be stated in plain language that can be clearly understood by the guard on post.

b. In addition to his special orders, a guard is responsible to obey and carry out any orders or instructions from the commanding officer, field officer of the day, and officers and noncommissioned officers of the guard. No other persons are authorized to give a guard orders or instructions. Any special instructions for a guard should be issued through the guard's chain of command.

Value Note: It is your duty as a sentry soldier to completely and clearly communicate all orders to be passed to relief (Value – Duty). Guards on post will pass instructions to their relief when appropriate. The information is also given to the commander of the relief. Example: A guard on duty at an ammunition dump discovers a hole in the fence during his tour of duty. Upon finding the hole, he notifies the commander of the relief. The guard will pass this information to his relief so that special attention can be paid to that portion of the fence until the hole is repaired.


14


(continued)

c. Guards on post will pass instructions to their relief when appropriate. The information is also given to the commander of the relief. Example: A guard on duty at an ammunition dump discovers a hole in the fence during his tour of duty. Upon finding the hole, he notifies the commander of the relief. The guard will pass this information to his relief so that special attention can be paid to that portion of the fence until the hole is repaired.

d. The guard will perform his duties in a military manner and serve as an example to others.

e. The guard is courteous to all persons. He will talk to no one except in the line of duty. When persons make proper inquiries of a guard, he answers them in a courteous manner.

f. A guard on an interior guard post maintains an erect and soldierly bearing. The weapon is carried in a manner prescribed by the commanding officer or commander of the guard. (A guard armed with a rifle, carbine, or shotgun may be allowed to shift his weapon to left shoulder arms to reduce fatigue.) When approached by an officer the guard will render the proper courtesies, living up to the Army core values with respect (Value -- Respect).

g. Guards on post salute individuals as prescribed in AR 60025. While on guard duty, a soldier will render the proper salute to the superior-ranking officer, living up to the Army values (Value – Respect). The saluting of an officer while on post is a display of respect for the rank of the uniform, not the person. Here are the proper ways to render a salute to the superior ranking officer while on post:

(1) A sentry on a post, which does not require challenging, carrying a weapon at sling arms, will render the hand salute upon recognition of an officer.

(2) A sentry on a post which does not require challenging, carrying a weapon at right (left) shoulder arms, will, upon recognition of an officer, halt and present arms as prescribed in the Manual of Arms FM 225. When the officer returns the salute, the guard will return to right (left) shoulder arms and resume his duties.

(3) A sentry armed with a pistol on a post, which does not require challenging, will, upon recognition of an officer, render the hand salute.


15


(continued)

(4) No salute is given by a guard who is engaged in a specific duty, the performance of which prevents saluting.

h. A guard talking with an officer does not interrupt the conversation to salute

another officer; however, if the officer salutes a senior, the guard also salutes.


Number 3. I WILL REPORT VIOLATIONS OF MY SPECIAL ORDERS, EMERGENCIES, AND ANYTHING NOT COVERED IN MY INSTRUCTIONS, TO THE COMMANDER OF THE RELIEF.

a. A guard reports all violations of his special orders to the commander of the

relief. He apprehends the offender, if necessary.

b. A guard reports all emergencies that occur on or near his post. The guard will take whatever action is prescribed by his special order or guard instructions. Any time the guard is in doubt as to what action to take, or when the action is not covered in his special orders, he will call the commander of the relief for instructions or assistance.

c. Fire. As a soldier on guard duty, it is your duty to give the alarm or ensures one has been given in the case of a fire occurring on or near his post (Value – Duty). The guard calls, "FIRE, POST NUMBER (TWO)." He alerts the occupants, if it is an occupied building. He gives the alarm or ensures one has been given. If possible, he extinguishes the fire. He helps direct the fire-fighting apparatus to the fire. He notifies the guardhouse of his actions as soon as possible.

d. In case of fire occurring on or near his post, the guard calls, "FIRE, POST NUMBER (TWO)!" He alerts the occupants, if it is an occupied building. He gives the alarm or ensures one has been given. If possible, he extinguishes the fire. He helps direct the fire-fighting apparatus to the fire. He notifies the guardhouse of his actions as soon as possible.


16


(continued)

e. A guard reports any disorder occurring on or near his post. He takes police action as prescribed in his special orders or guard instructions. If assistance is required, he calls, "THE GUARD, POST NUMBER (FOUR)."

f. If the danger is great, he fires his weapon into the air three times in rapid succession before calling. When instructed to do so, guards give warning of air, NBC, and other attacks. Guards should receive special training if they are to act as chemical, biological, and radiological (NBC) sentinels while on post.


3.

Challenging

(Lead-in) If you will recall, during the explanation of the second general order, I mentioned "a sentry, on a post, which does not require challenging." Well, when would you challenge? The special orders will specify the time for challenging.

a. When challenging, a guard, armed with a rifle, carbine, or shotgun will

challenge from the position of port arms as described in the manual of arms in FM 225. If armed with a pistol, the guard will challenge from the position of raised pistol.

b. After challenging, a guard will remain in the challenge position until the individual challenged is allowed to pass, depart, or is turned over to the commander of the relief.

c. Sentinels on posts requiring challenging will not render salutes.

Note: The sentinel's primary mission is to guard his post. Requiring salutes places the individual in a vulnerable position. The sentinel will, however, display all other military courtesy and respect while in conversation with an officer.

d. Challenging one person or a group: It is your duty as a soldier on guard duty to challenge unknown person or persons (Value – Duty).


17


(continued)

(1) If a guard sees any person on or near his post during the time for challenging, he positions himself so that he can control the situation. If possible, he should be out of sight when challenging. When the person is approximately 30 steps away, or at sufficient distance to allow the guard time to react, the guard will assume the correct challenge position and command, "HALT!" When the person has halted, the guard asks, "WHO IS THERE?" The guard may advance toward the person while challenging to put himself in a better position. When the guard is in the best position to pass or apprehend the person, he requires the person to advance towards him, to remain in position, to advance to a particular place, to face toward the light, or to take any position necessary to determine whether the person should be passed, denied, or turned over to the commander of the relief.

(2) The guard permits only one member of a group to approach him for

identification.

(3) If persons are in a vehicle, the guard proceeds as if they were on foot. If necessary, to carry out his duties, he may have one or all of the passengers dismount.

(4) After halting a group and receiving an answer indicating that the group is

authorized to pass, the guard says, "ADVANCE, SERGEANT SMITH," naming the person (or group) allowed to advance. If the answer is "FRIENDS," the guard says, "ADVANCE, FRIENDS.”

(5) The guard satisfies himself beyond a reasonable doubt that those

challenged are what they represent themselves to be and that they have a right to pass. If he is not satisfied, he detains the person and calls the commander of the relief. Normally, the guard will accept a reasonable answer for identification if the post is not a vital area and the persons are not suspicious-looking.

Note: A visual check of an individual's ID card is considered the best means of

identification when doubt exists.


18


(continued)

e. Challenging two or more persons or groups:

(1) If two or more persons or groups approach the guard's post from different directions at the same time, they are halted in turn and remain halted until advanced by the guard.

(2) When two or more groups are halted at the same time, the senior is

advanced first.

(3) A guard advances different persons or groups with the following priority: commanding officer, field officer of the day, officers of the guard, officers, patrols, reliefs, noncommissioned officers of the guard in order of rank, and friends.

(4) If a person or group has been advanced and is talking with the guard, the guard halts any other person or group that may approach, but advances no one until the person or group with whom he is talking leaves. He then advances the senior of the remaining group.

(5) A guard must always be alert and never be surprised. He never permits two persons or groups to advance to his post at the same time.

(6) Confusing or misleading answers to a guard's challenge are not acceptable. However, the answer "FRIEND" is not considered misleading and is the usual answer of an inspecting officer or patrol when they do not wish to reveal their official capacity.

f. During his tour of duty a guard is required to execute orders of no one but the

commanding officer, field officer of the day, officer of the day, and officers of the guard. However, any officer may investigate apparent violations of regulations by members of the guard. In the event of an inspecting officer, or any other person in the military service, finding an irresponsible guard on post (Art. 113, Uniform Code of Military Justice), it is his duty to notify the commander of the guard or a noncommissioned officer of the guard and stay on the post until a qualified guard is posted.


19


(continued)

g. A guard surrenders his weapon to, and only on order of, a person from whom he lawfully receives orders while on post. These persons should not order a guard to surrender his weapon for inspection or any other purpose unless an emergency exists.


4.

Special Orders

Note:

Show: FIGURE 11 (Special Orders)

(Lead-in) Special orders are established by the commanding officer and differ for various posts depending upon the nature of the area being guarded. They are based on the following considerations:

a. Realism. Special orders are designed for a particular post, since two posts on an installation are seldom identical. The orders for each post are devised to provide increased protection for the sentinel concerned by locating him behind natural or artificial obstacles, which make surprise difficult. This calls for flexible and imaginative planning when drawing up special orders. For example, ammunition dump security at a critical installation would be more elaborate and tactically oriented than the security of a post exchange.

b. Clarity. Special orders should be stated in plain language that can be clearly understood by the guard on post. The commander of the relief clarifies any doubt as to their meaning before posting a guard.

(1) The commanding officer is responsible for keeping the special orders up-to-date and he publishes any changes immediately.

(2) Copies of special orders are continuously and conspicuously posted in the guardhouse for reference. A copy of the special orders may be posted on a fixed post, or the guard may be required to carry a copy of the special orders with him while on duty.


20


(continued)

Note: Show: FIGURE 12 (Special Orders for Each Guard Post)

(3) The special orders for each guard post should explain (or diagram) the post location, boundaries, and any particular orders for the post, including those conditions under which force will be used.

(4) Additional special orders received by a guard before going on guard and while on post are passed on to the guard who relieves him. These additional orders may be written or oral.
