The Seven Army Values

• Loyalty - Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. constitution, the Army, and other soldiers.Be loyal to the nation and its heritage.
• Duty - Fulfill your obligations. Accept responsibility for your own actions and those entrusted to your care. Find opportunities to improve oneself for the good of the group.
• Respect - Rely upon the golden rule. How we consider others reflects upon each of us, both personally and as a professional organization.
• Selfless Service - Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own. Selfless service leads to organizational teamwork and encompasses discipline, self-control and faith in the system.
• Honor - Live up to all the Army values, showing your true character as one who will work together for the good of the group.
• Integrity - Do what is right, legally and morally. Be willing to do what is right even when no one is looking. It is our "moral compass" an inner voice.
• Personal Courage - Our ability to face fear, danger, or adversity, both physical and moral courage.
