I found MP3s online of someone slowly speaking a lot of knowledge topics: general orders, leadership traits, leadership principles, etc.
I just played one at a time on infinite repeat in the car or on my iPod until I could recite it from memory without the recording. Might as well make good use of the time sitting in the car or on the subway.

I used my own iPod and recorded a voice memo of ME reciting the 11 general orders (while reading them from the book). Then, For about a week and a half, I would play it all the time... while driving my car, on the stereo when doing stuff around the house (and nobody else was home), on some headphones as I was falling asleep.... It would automatically play and then repeat itself at the end.
After the first day or so, I started trying to verbally say them out loud along with my own recording. If I messed up, I had to wait till it started over to try again. And if I screwed up again, I had to wait again. I would just try to remember what I screwed up each time and try NOT to screw it up the following time.
And as for remembering which general order is which number, I tried coming up with little rules or hints for each one in regards to the NUMBER of the rule. Some examples:
General Order #4: I think of the number four, I think of somebody screaming FOOOOUR in a golf game... shouting.... shouting at others.... ah! Relaying messages to people far away!
General Order #5: I think of the number five, I think about the fact that many people work a "nine-to-five" job. And what do they do at FIVE? They quit! Quitting my my post!
You get the idea.
