• B. Facing fear, danger, or adversity with resolve.
• C. Allegiance to the Constitution, the Army, the unit, and teammates.

Answer: (B)

Personal Courage is about facing fear, danger, or adversity with resolve. In the Army, this means staying focused on the mission and doing what’s right even when fear or risk is present, showing both physical bravery and the moral strength to stand up for ethical decisions or difficult actions. That descriptor directly captures the essence of Personal Courage by emphasizing facing threats or hardship with determination. The other options point to different Army values—putting the welfare of others first reflects Selfless Service, loyalty to the Constitution, the Army, and teammates reflects Loyalty, and treating others with courtesy and dignity reflects Respect.
