military equipment, associated ideas of standing at attention, and norms of etiquette in different
ceremonies are examples of military courtesies. Military courtesy has long been considered to
show respect both up and down the line of command. Military etiquette and traditions have
proven to be critical in giving rules for all behaviors that all military members are required to
follow. The military places a premium on clear communication and alignment when it comes to
respectful communication. People who are prepared to be good followers and work as part of a
team are more likely to achieve successful achievements. The military does this by having a clear
vision that is complemented by precise missions that allow troops to behave in accordance with
organizational objectives. Courteous communication is asking for assistance when necessary in
order to complete a task to perfection. Simple civility is a good sign of a person's bearing,
manners, and discipline. Military civility is also critical in fostering and creating a good sense of
camaraderie among soldiers. Its purpose is to strengthen the chain of command and the discipline
of a unit's soldiers. Military customs on the whole refer to the accepted traditions that form part
of the military practice, rules and standards of operation. They have gone to play an essential role
of generating morale, discipline, teamwork and effectiveness of army mission. These traditions
date back to instances in ancient ages involving military actions. Just as personal discipline is
viewed as an essential feature for success in life, military discipline is indispensable within the
army. Military discipline ascertains the soldiers gain a proper concept and view of discipline
through training programs. It also outlines the regulations, rules and general principles that
guarantee obedience of the army soldiers.
