Why this answer

True. The Code covers you from the moment you are cut off through the end of captivity. Article II, quoted first, applies while you are isolated and can still resist or evade: you never surrender of your own free will. Article III picks up at capture, and Articles IV and V set your conduct as a prisoner of war, down to the four facts you must give when questioned.

VERIFIED AGAINST THE OFFICIAL SOURCE

“I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist. ... If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.”
