1. Army Values

2. Intent
To emphasize the importance of the Army Values for all Soldiers and United States citizens.

3. Army Values - Our Core
Since September 11, 2001, the world has witnessed the very best of our Soldiers, Army Civilians, and their Family members, as evidenced by their dedication to duty, professionalism, and compassion as they have lived the Army Values.
Many of our Army Family have made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives honorably in the Global War on Terrorism. Others have provided aid during times of need resulting from natural disasters or emergencies, at home and abroad. These honorable deeds epitomize the Army Values and earn the respect of people around the world.

4. Army Values - Our Core
The Army Values - Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage (LDRSHIP) - are our baseline, our foundation, our core. They define who we are, what we do, and what we stand for.

5. Army Values Loyalty Duty Respect Selfless Service Honor Integrity
Personal Courage

6. Loyalty
Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your family, friends, country, and yourself.
Loyalty demands commitment.

7. Duty Fulfill your Obligations
Army duty entails fulfilling professional, legal, and moral obligations.
Duty means accomplishing all your assigned tasks to the best of your ability.
Duty requires a willingness to accept full responsibility for the actions of one’s self, and those of one’s subordinates.

8. Respect Treat people as they should be treated
Army respect means to promote dignity, consideration of others, fairness, and equal opportunity. It includes a sensitivity to and regard for the feelings and needs of others and an awareness of the effect of a person's behavior on them.
Respect also involves the idea of treating people justly.

9. Selfless Service
Put the welfare of the Nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own
Selfless service requires you to give credit where credit is due, never unjustly taking credit for something you did not do.

10. Honor Live up to all the Army Values
Army honor demands adherence to a public moral code, not protection of a reputation. Honor is a moral virtue--a state of being or a state of character that people possess by upholding the values that make up the Army's public moral code.
Honor depends upon the exemplary display of integrity, courage, loyalty, respect, selfless service, and duty.

11. Integrity Do what’s right, legally and morally
Army integrity means possessing high personal moral standards and being honest in word and deed.
It involves the consistent adherence of action to one's personal moral beliefs.
The goal over time is for your private moral code of integrity to converge with the publicly declared code of honor for the Army.

12. Personal Courage Face fear, danger, or adversity (physical or moral)
Army personal courage manifests physical and moral bravery. It depicts the military virtue that enables us to face fear, danger, or adversity no matter what the situation is, whether it be physical or moral.
Personal courage is the strength to do what is right, to adhere to a higher standard of personal conduct, to lead by example, and to make tough decisions under stress and pressure.

13. Our Values
Actions counter to the Army Values weaken the Army team, our morale, and our readiness. They discredit our service to the Nation, family, friends, ourselves, and can lead those we serve to question our values. We must never accept actions inconsistent with the Army Values.
