bullet Soldier Values and Ethics

Values:
The Chief of Staff of the Army approved the seven Army Values and their definitions in 1998. The Values are listed, and displayed, in specific order (Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless-Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage) to form the acronym LDRSHIP (pronounced LEADERSHIP) using the first letter of each Value. These values form the foundation of a soldier's character.

Loyalty - Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other soldiers;
Duty - Fulfill your obligations;
Respect - Treat people as they should be treated;
Selfless Service - Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own;
Honor - Live up to all the Army values;
Integrity - Do what's right, legally and morally;
Personal Courage - Face fear, danger, or adversity (Physical or Moral)

"Be a Leader-Don't Just Look Like One"

Welcome to the CAR's Media Room, a collection of annotated resources and electronic links for leaders. I consider every Soldier in the Army Reserve a leader. I have released the Media Room during the Year of the Leader 2004. It reflects some of the best books, articles, movies, and web links on leadership.

General Davis C. Jones, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff once said, "To me there are two things you get by reading. Number one, whatever you learn from it. Second, and equally important, it makes you start thinking more broadly, particularly about leadership." This is the intent of the Media Room. Use it and start thinking.

bullet Legislative Info

"In 1937, the forerunner of "Infantry Magazine," then called "The Infantry School Mailing List," published an article titled "The Functioning of the Infantry School Staff." it is one of the most accurate, complete descriptions of the functions of a staff and how the staff should operate to serve the command that I am familiar with. I strongly encourage you to read it closely, apply its teachings and use it in training your staffs. I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of our use of these doctrines and teachings."
