Order the phrases alphabetically by NATO letter, read down the first letter of each phrase, and you get

CAESAR SHIFT CHALLENGE BY NINE

This refers to the challenge phrases issued by the General, which also contain NATO letters:

  1. What is the secret to a clean uniform?
  2. Where can we find a tin dial?
  3. What is the cause of troop apathy?
  4. How can we assure victory?
  5. What weapon of mass destruction is hidden in India?

Any answer that contains the NATO code for the caesar shift by nine is acceptable. For instance, possible solutions using the original clues are:

  1. Shoot targets at the model target range
  2. Noah has a chrome ornithopter
  3. Not glowy an keeping warm
  4. Artillery shells are the prime choice
  5. Noah has a chrome ornithopter

The letters from these answers form the final answer, DRYER.
