According to Article III of the Military Code of Conduct, if I am captured I will

• A. Continue to resist by all means available, make every effort to escape and aid others to escape, and accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
• B. Accept parole from the enemy.
• C. Surrender and request terms of parole.
• D. Ignore the captivity and await direct orders from the enemy.

Answer: (A)

Article III directs what a service member must do if captured: keep resisting by any means available, make every effort to escape, and aid others to escape, while refusing parole or special favors from the enemy. This full phrasing shows the commitment to sustained resistance, proactive efforts to regain freedom, and support for fellow captives, all without negotiating with the captor. The other choices conflict with that directive: accepting parole contradicts the refusal part; surrendering and asking for parole defeats the obligation to resist and escape; ignoring captivity and waiting for orders from the enemy runs counter to acting independently in the face of capture.
