You may be asked to put the nation's welfare and mission accomplishment ahead of the personal safety of you and your soldiers. Soldiers and leaders must have a deep commitment to duty and what is best for the unit and the Army. This will ensure that you make the right decision when it really counts. Respect Respect is treating others with consideration and honor. It is the ability to accept and value other individuals.
Respect begins with a fundamental understanding that all people possess worth as human beings.
Respect is developed by accepting others and acknowledging their worth without feeling obligated to embrace all of their ideas. A soldier approaches you and offers a better way to get a job done. All of us possess special skills and adhere to certain values. Without respect for all other individuals there would not be a cohesive and team oriented Army. Selfless Service Selfless service is placing your duty before your personal desires.
