Which manual addresses the responsibilities and procedures concerning guard duty?

• A. FM 7-22
• B. FM 4-25.11
• C. FM 22-6
• D. AR 710-2

Answer: (C)

The manual that addresses the responsibilities and procedures concerning guard duty is FM 22-6. This field manual specifically provides guidance on duties related to security and the execution of guard duties within the Army. It covers critical topics such as the roles and responsibilities of sentries, the specific procedures for various types of guards, and the overall importance of discipline, vigilance, and authority in guarding installations or personnel.

While other manuals mentioned provide useful information relevant to various aspects of Army operations—such as physical fitness (FM 7-22), health services (FM 4-25.11), and supply regulations (AR 710-2)—none of them specifically focus on the comprehensive details of guard duty as FM 22-6 does. This specific focus makes FM 22-6 the authoritative source for understanding and executing guard duties in the Army effectively.
