What is expected from soldiers in terms of personal conduct?

Soldiers are expected to uphold the Army's standards and values as a fundamental aspect of their service. This expectation is deeply rooted in the Army's commitment to discipline, integrity, and professionalism. Upholding these standards ensures that each soldier contributes positively to the mission and maintains the trust and respect of their peers and superiors. The Army's standards and values shape the behavior, decision-making, and responsibilities of soldiers both in and out of uniform.

This emphasis on conduct fosters a cohesive and effective unit, where each member is held accountable for their actions. By adhering to the Army's standards, soldiers demonstrate their commitment to their duties, their fellow soldiers, and the larger goals of the Army as an institution. The focus is not on individual interests or personal codes of conduct that may diverge from established norms, but rather on a collective commitment to uphold the integrity and reputation of the Army at all times.
