Leaders' Ethical Training Dilemma in Initial Entry Training

Abstract

Leaders of Initial Entry Training units have the duty to ensure their cadre train new Soldiers in army values, discipline, and all basic individual tasks to standard. However, a way of thinking exists with leaders that it is permissible to graduate Soldiers not completely trained to standard on all basic individual tasks. This is a prevailing ethical dilemma leaders face in Initial Entry Training. Train to standard or train them enough to graduate. Leaders can counter this ethical dilemma through serious leadership involvement. No Soldier should die thinking, "Only if I was properly trained".
