The Importance of Doing the Right Thing in Accordance With Army Regulations

Abstract

All leaders in the United States Army are responsible for many things, from accomplishing the unit mission to ensuring subordinates welfare that include physical, moral, personal, and their professional well-being. Many leaders are failing to accomplish the basics: to enforce the Army standards; live the Army values; and set the example. By doing so, they are creating new standards which destroy Soldiers motivation, confidence in their leaders, and create ethical dilemmas. I will describe some situations that I encountered in my last assignment as a first sergeant of Headquarters and Headquarters Company. I hope that my past experiences can help senior leaders to understand the importance of doing the right thing, in accordance with Army regulations.
