Loyalty

• Army loyalty entails the correct priority of
  soldiers' obligations and commitments to the
  Constitution, the Army, the unit, other soldiers,
  family, friends, and, finally, yourselves.
• Loyalty demands commitment.

9
Duty

• Army duty entails fulfilling professional, legal,
  and moral obligations.
• Duty means accomplishing all your assigned tasks
  to the best of your ability.
• Duty requires a willingness to accept full
  responsibility for the actions of ones self, and
  those of ones subordinates.

10
Respect

• Army respect means to promote dignity,
  consideration of others, fairness, and equal
  opportunity. It includes a sensitivity to and
  regard for the feelings and needs of others and
  an awareness of the effect of a person's behavior
  on them.
• Respect also involves the idea of treating people
  justly.

11
Selfless Service

• Army selfless service signifies action based on
  proper priorities. It places service above self.
  The welfare of the nation and the accomplishment
  of the mission come ahead of the personal safety
  of the individual or the unit.
• Selfless service requires you to give credit
  where credit is due, never unjustly taking credit
  for something you did not do.

12
Honor

• Army honor demands adherence to a public moral
  code, not protection of a reputation. Honor is a
  moral virtue--a state of being or a state of
  character that people possess by upholding the
  values that make up the Army's public moral code.
  
• Honor depends upon the exemplary display of
  integrity, courage, loyalty, respect, selfless
  service, and duty.

13
Integrity

• Army integrity means possessing high personal
  moral standards and being honest in word and
  deed.
• It involves the consistent adherence of action to
  one's personal moral beliefs.
• The goal over time is for your private moral code
  of integrity to converge with the publicly
  declared code of honor for the Army.

14
Personal Courage

• Army personal courage manifests physical and
  moral bravery. It depicts the military virtue
  that enables us to face fear, danger, or
  adversity no matter what the situation is,
  whether it be physical or moral.
• Personal courage is the strength to do what is
  right, to adhere to a higher standard of personal
  conduct, to lead by example, and to make tough
  decisions under stress and pressure.
