Abstract:

As Army Leadership, we teach and live by the Army values. The Army values are stressed to the point that all Soldiers carry cards and Identification Tags ID with the values printed on them as a constant reminder. In addition, Soldiers and Noncommissioned Officers NCO are taught the Soldier Creed and NCO Creed that continue to stress the Army values and mission accomplishment. At what point does the mission success outweigh the Army values Is succeeding worth a negative public image Is mission accomplishment worth pushing great Soldiers in to the gray area At what point does a competitive spirit drive a good Soldier to over look the Army values to accomplish the mission
