Which articles address avoiding harmful information to comrades or country when questioned?

• A. Article 3 and Article 4
• B. Article 1 only
• C. Article 2 only
• D. Article 5 only

Answer: (A)

Protecting others and the nation by not sharing sensitive information when questioned is the central idea. When someone asks you for details, the obligation is to avoid disclosing anything that could put comrades at risk or compromise national security. The two articles together establish a clear boundary: you must withhold harmful or sensitive information from unauthorized or unvetted sources and you should route inquiries through proper channels. That means sharing only what you’re legally and ethically allowed to share, and seeking guidance from superiors or legal counsel if there’s any doubt about what information can be disclosed.

This combination is the best fit because one article alone could cover either withholding information or following the right procedure, but not both. Together, they provide a complete framework for handling questions in a way that minimizes risk to teammates and to the country, while still allowing for lawful and appropriate communication through the proper channels.
