Which article specifies that I should not give information or take part in actions harmful to comrades when a prisoner of war?

• A. Code of Conduct Article IV
• B. Code of Conduct Article V
• C. Code of Conduct Article II
• D. Code of Conduct Article VI

Answer: (A)

Article IV of the Code of Conduct covers the responsibilities you have if you become a prisoner of war, focusing on protection of your fellow Marines. It emphasizes not divulging information that could help the enemy and not taking part in actions that could harm comrades, even under pressure. This keeps the unit’s integrity and safety intact, reinforcing loyalty and solidarity when facing captivity. Other articles address different duties—such as not surrendering, resisting captivity, or following orders—but this one specifically codifies the obligation to prevent aiding the enemy or harming teammates while POW.
