DA civilians must respect military personnel who work in a multilayered framework of disciplined warfighting teams. Also, DA civilians must earn respect from the military. Since this integration is fairly new, DA civilians must prove that they too can process procedures and requirements as the soldiers do. Together, soldiers and DA civilians become an empowered team working toward one goal to complete the mission. Because civilian and military personnel often function as one unit, good military-civilian working relationships are critical to the success of the Army missions.
Mutual respect is the foundation.
DA civilians placed the needs of the soldier before their own needs. H onor is summed up in all the Army values. Honor is knowing what is right and taking pride in this knowledge. DA civilians expressed honor for their country when they took the Army Oath upon entry to civil service. I ntegrity can be defined as doing what is legally and morally right.
