TRUST Diagnosis Healing Credentials Autonomy Patient Focused Expertise Attributes of a Diagnosis Healing Profession Credentials Autonomy Patient Focused Expertise TRUST Ethical Code Build slide: You are on vacation and get sick. Who do you go see? A perfect stranger who happens to claim to be a doctor. What do you expect? What are you looking for from the doctor? What assumptions are you making about the doctor? Most people mention a vital service, deep expertise, application of abstract knowledge in non-routine situations, ethical behavior, self-policing….. These characteristics are essential for trust between professions and the societies they serve. Think about it: You will walk into the office of a perfect stranger with your well-being in your hands and say, “Heal me. If you want to give me a shot, I’ll let you. If you tell me to take a pill, I’ll take it. If you need to operate, I’ll let you.” That’s pretty amazing. But what’s even more amazing is that you’ll do the same with your child.

Situational Understanding Attributes of the Army Profession Situational Understanding Security Credentials Autonomy Mission Focused Expertise TRUST Ethical Code Discipline Build slide: You are a American citizen and you need security. Where do you get it? Perfect strangers who claim to be trusted Army professionals. What do you expect? What are you looking for? What assumptions are you making about Army professionals? This slide parallels the message on the previous chart, highlighting what most people think of -- a vital service, expertise, reliability, discipline, ethical conduct….. Demonstrating these characteristics establishes trust between the Army profession and our fellow citizens whom we serve. Think about it: You will permit people you do not know to be armed by you and defend you against all enemies (foreign and domestic), you may even join the Army Profession, or consent to your sons and daughters to join the profession. That’s pretty amazing; and you would never do this if you did not trust the Army to take care of you and/or your children. Q14_11.

Certification Process 701L-COM-1101 8

Army Professional Certification Criteria Character: Intrinsically, character is one’s true nature including identity, sense of purpose, values, virtues, morals, and conscience. Character, in an operational sense, is an Army professional’s dedication and adherence to the Army Ethic, including Army Values, as consistently and faithfully demonstrated in decisions and actions. Competence: Is an Army professional’s demonstrated ability to successfully perform duty with discipline and to standard. Commitment: Is an Army professional’s resolve to contribute honorable service to the Nation and accomplish the mission despite adversity, obstacles, and challenges. Start by clearly defining the essential information, the true fundamentals that guide the employment of forces. Do so by capturing this essential information in a small number of Army Doctrine Publications (ADP), each about 10 pages, focused on the major subjects that guide the force At the top is The Army – ADP 1 – the role of the Army in society. Below that we have the three ADP that lay out the basis what we do as am Army leadership, operations, and training. Below Operations, we have the foundations of Decisive Action – offense, defense, stability, and DSCA, the operations process, and Terms and Graphics. These define the essential components of how we operate in the field. Next we have the warfighting functions, how we group tasks for the conduct of operations. Note that we have added SOF here. Not a warfighting function, but a recognition that we must incorporate SOF into everything we do. Current plan is for the ADPs to have a single video book that visually portrays the key ideas. 701L-COM-1101
