contents We investigate the geodesic orbit property of pseudo-Riemannian nilmanifolds, specifically those known in the literature as pseudo $H$-type Lie groups -- i.e., 2-step nilpotent Lie groups of Heisenberg type equipped with a left invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric. The study of homogeneous geodesics on Riemannian $H$-type Lie groups was completed by C.~Riehm in 1984. In this work, we extend these results to the pseudo-Riemannian $H$-type Lie groups and provide a complete characterization of the geodesic orbit property for the case where the underlying Lie algebras are constructed from the admissible Clifford modules of minimal dimension.
