Why the Warrior Ethos

The Warrior Ethos is
A frame of mind whereby Soldiers will not quit until they have accomplished
their mission. It compels Soldiers to fight through all conditions to victory, no
matter how long it takes and no matter how much effort is required. It is the
professional attitude that inspires every Soldier to fulfill his obligations,
regardless of the obstacles. It is an individual and collective quality of all
Soldiers.
At its core, the Warrior Ethos is the refusal to accept failure; its about
overcoming all obstacles with honor. It begins as the Soldiers selfless
commitment to the Nation, mission, unit, and fellow Soldiers. It is developed
and sustained through discipline, realistic training, commitment to Army
values, and pride in the Armys heritage.
As a warrior and leader of warriors, you (as the future Army officer) must
adhere to the Soldiers Creed and the Warrior Ethos.

Character: Discipline
DISCIPLINE
3-24. Discipline at the individual level is primarily self-discipline, the ability to control
ones own behavior. Discipline expresses what the Army Values requirewillingly
doing what is right.
3-25. Discipline is a mindset for a unit or an organization to practice sustained,
systematic actions to reach and sustain a capability to perform its military function.
The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to
be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment. On the contrary, such treatment is far
more likely to destroy than to make an army. It is possible to impart instructions and
to give commands in such a manner and in such a tone of voice as to inspire in the
soldier no feeling but an intense desire to obey, while the opposite manner and tone
of voice cannot fail to excite strong resentment and a desire to disobey. The one
mode or other of dealing with subordinates springs from a corresponding spirit in
the breast of the commander. He who feels the respect which is due others cannot
fail to inspire in them regard for himself; while he who feels, and hence manifests,
disrespect toward others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred
against himself.
