Which description best defines the Army value Duty?

• A. Allegiance to the Constitution, the Army, the unit, and teammates.
• B. Fulfilling assigned tasks and obligations.
• C. Treating others with courtesy and dignity.
• D. Placing the welfare of the team and mission above self.

Answer: (B)

Duty is about doing what you are assigned to do and meeting your obligations, reliably and without making excuses. It centers on fulfilling tasks for the success of the mission and the unit, even when it’s challenging. When you take responsibility for and complete your duties, you demonstrate Duty in action. The other descriptions describe related ideas—loyalty to people and institutions, respect for others, and putting the team’s needs before your own—but Duty specifically focuses on fulfilling those tasks and obligations assigned to you.
