Book excerpt: One of the hallmarks of a true profession is its ability to assess and regulate itself, especially with respect to adherence to its foundational ethos. Such self-examination is difficult and often causes discomfort within the profession. Nonetheless, it is absolutely necessary to enable members of the profession to render the service for which the profession exists. U.S. military professionals have never shied away from this responsibility, and they do not today, as evidenced by this riveting monograph. Discussing dishonesty in the Army profession is a topic that will undoubtedly make many readers uneasy. It is, however, a concern that must be addressed to better the Army profession. Through extensive discussions with officers and thorough and sound analysis, Drs. Leonard Wong and Stephen Gerras make a compelling argument for the Army to introspectively examine how it might be inadvertently encouraging the very behavior it deems unacceptable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This essay offers a proposal for the missing constructs and language with which we can more precisely think about and examine the Army's Professional Military Ethic, starting with its macro context which is the profession's culture. We examine three major long-term influences on that culture and its core ethos, thus describing how they evolve over time. We contend that in the present era of persistent conflict, we are witnessing dynamic changes within these three influences. In order to analyze these changes, we introduce a more detailed framework which divides the Ethic into its legal and moral components, then divide each of these into their institutional and individual manifestations. Turning from description to analysis, we also examine to what extent, if any, recent doctrinal adaptations by the Army (FM 3-0, 3-24, and 6-22, etc.) indicate true evolution in the essential nature of the profession's Ethic. Then, we present what we believe to be the most significant ethical challenge facing the Army profession -- the moral development of Army leaders, moving them from 'values to virtues' in order that they, as Army professionals, can consistently achieve the high quality of moral character necessary to apply effectively and, in a trustworthy manner, their renowned military-technical competencies."--P. x

This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As with the post-Cold War downsizing during the Clinton administration in the late 1990s, one critical challenge for the U.S. Army centers on the qualitative, institutional character of the Army after the reductions-will it manifest the essential characteristics and behavior of a military profession with soldiers and civilians who see themselves sacrificially called to vocation and its service to country within a motivating professional culture that sustains a meritocratic ethic, or will the Army's character be more like any other government occupation in which its members view themselves as filing a job, motivated mostly by the extrinsic factors of pay, location, and work hours? In mid-2010, the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff directed the Commanding General, Training and Doctrine Command, then General Martin Dempsey, to undertake a broad campaign of learning, involving the entire Department. The intent was to think through just it means for the Army to be a profession...

Chapter 6 STEWARDSHIP OF THE ARMY PROFESSION Chapter 7 ESPRIT DE CORPS--OUR WINNING SPIRIT Appendix A THE ARMY CULTURE AND THE ARMY ETHIC Appendix B OATHS, CREEDS, AND NORMS OF CONDUCT Foreword Our Nation's founders created a republic in which citizens of character work together to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty. As a result of their vision, decisions, and actions our Nation is a model of freedom and democracy throughout the world. Protection of our way of life requires constant vigilance. Each generation inherits not only the rights and privileges of being an American, but also the responsibility to defend the Constitution, against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Since 1775, our Army's vital, enduring role has been to fight and win our Nation's wars. By design, our Army has a dual nature. It is both a military department of government and a military profession. Both are essential to accomplish the mission. However, it is the Army Profession that forges the special bond of Trust and confidence with the American people. The Army Profession is defined by its essential characteristics: Trust, Honorable Service, Military Expertise, Stewardship, and Esprit de Corps. The members of the Army Profession, Soldiers and Army Civilians, create and strengthen the Army culture of Trust. We pursue a noble calling and contribute Honorable Service as a partner within the joint community and other government services that dedicate themselves to defending the Nation. At the same time, we are citizens whose Character, Competence, and Commitment exemplify the ideals espoused by the Army Ethic. In living by and upholding the Army Ethic, we are Trusted Army Professionals.

Book excerpt: This manual, Army Doctrine Publication ADP 6-22 Army Leadership and the Profession Change 1 November 2019, establishes and describes the Army profession and the associated ethic that serve as the basis for a shared professional identity. It establishes and describes what leaders should be and do. Having a standard set of leader attributes and core leader competencies facilitates focused feedback, education, training, and development across all leadership levels. ADP 6-22 describes enduring concepts of leadership through the core competencies and attributes required of leaders of all cohorts and all organizations, regardless of mission or setting. These principles reflect decades of experience and validated scientific knowledge. An ideal Army leader serves as a role model through strong intellect, physical presence, professional competence, and moral character. An Army leader is able and willing to act decisively, within superior leaders' intent and purpose, and in the organization's best interests. Army leaders recognize that organizations, built on mutual trust and confidence, accomplish missions. Every member of the Army profession, military or civilian, is part of a team and functions in the role of leader and subordinate. Being a good subordinate is part of being an effective leader. Leaders do not just lead subordinates-they also lead other leaders. Leaders are not limited to just those designated by position, rank, or authority. Being and doing are ineffectual without knowledge. Knowing the what and how of soldiering, tactics, operational art, staff operations, functional and technical expertise, and many other areas are essential to leading well. ADP 6-22 cannot convey all of the specific knowledge areas to become an expert leader. All leaders accrue the knowledge and develop the expertise required to contribute to the support and execution of the Army's four strategic roles: shaping operational environments, preventing conflict, prevailing in largescale ground combat operations, and consolidating gains.Army Doctrine Publication ADP 6-22 Army Leadership and the Profession Change 1 November 2019 establishes and describes the Army Profession and the foundations of Army leadership, (outlines the echelons of leadership (direct, organizational, and strategic), and describes the attributes and core leader competencies expected of all leaders across all levels and cohorts.

Book excerpt: This publication, Army Doctrine Reference Publication ADRP 1, The Army Profession, includes seven chapters and two appendixes. Chapter 1 discusses the nature of professions, explains why the Army is a profession, and introduces the essential characteristics of the Army Profession (trust, honorable service, military expertise, stewardship and esprit de corps). Chapter 2 provides the doctrine on the Army Ethic, including our shared identity as Trusted Army Professionals and our supporting roles as honorable servants, Army experts, and stewards of the Army Profession. The chapter includes discussion of the moral-principles that guide our decisions and actions in conduct of the mission, performance of duty, and all aspects of life. Chapter 3 describes trust as the foundation of our relationship with the American people who rely on the Army to ethically, effectively, and efficiently serve the Nation. Within the Army Profession, trust is the organizing principle that supports cohesive teamwork. The Army Profession develops Soldiers and Army Civilians to exercise mission command in honorable service in defense of the Nation. Chapter 4 discusses honorable service, an essential characteristic of the Army Profession, as support and defense of the Constitution, the American people, and the national interest in a manner consistent with the Army Ethic. Chapter 5 describes military expertise as an essential characteristic that provides ethical design, generation, support, and application of landpower, primarily in unified land operations, and all supporting capabilities essential to accomplish the mission, in the right way, in defense of the American people. Chapter 6 recognizes that stewardship, an essential characteristic, is the responsibility of Army Professionals to strengthen the Army as a profession and to care for the people and resources entrusted to us by the American people. Stewardship provides for the long-term readiness and resilience of our people and organizations. Chapter 7 provides a discussion of esprit de corps, an essential characteristic of our profession that denotes our collective ethos of camaraderie within cohesive teams. Esprit de corps is embedded in the Army culture of trust and is carried on through customs, courtesies, and traditions. Appendix A expands on the discussion of the Army culture. Appendix B restates the oaths, creeds, and norms of conduct. As trusted Army professionals-Soldiers and Army Civilians-we are honorable servants of the Nation, Army experts, and faithful stewards of the people, other resources, and profession entrusted to our care. By our oath, we are morally committed to support and defend the Constitution. This duty requires a foundation of trust with the American people, reinforced as the Army Profession contributes honorable service, military expertise, and stewardship with courageous esprit de corps. Within the Army Profession, Army professionals earn and sustain trust by demonstrating character, competence, and commitment. We make right decisions and take right actions that are ethical, effective, and efficient.

Download or read book Once Again the Challenge to the U S Army During a Defense Reduction written by Don Snider and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph places the Army's 2011 campaign of learning about the Army as profession after a decade of war into the context of the just-initiated Department of Defense (DoD) reductions. The exact shape of those reductions and the defense strategy our down-sized land forces are to execute in the future are only now becoming clear as this monograph goes to press in early 2012. But what is already clear is that the U.S. Army will undergo a severely resource-con-strained transition to a significantly smaller force than it sustained during the past decade of war. As with the post-Cold War downsizing during the Bill Clinton administration in the late 1990s, one critical challenge for the Army centers on the qualitative and institutional character of the Army after the reductions. Will the Army manifest the essential characteristics and behavior of a military profession comprised of Soldiers and civilians who see themselves sacrificially called to vocation? Will the Army perceive its service to country within a motivating professional culture that sustains a meritocratic ethic, or will the Army's character be more like any other government occupation in which its members view themselves as filling a job, motivated mostly by the extrinsic factors of pay, location, and work hours?
