Which sequence correctly lists the Army Values represented by LDRSHIP in order?

• A. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage
• B. Loyalty, Respect, Duty, Selfless Service, Personal Courage, Honor, Integrity
• C. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage
• D. Loyalty, Duty, Selfless Service, Respect, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is the exact order of the Army Values as represented by the acronym LDRSHIP. The standard sequence is Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage. This order is the mnemonic used to memorize the seven values in that specific progression, and it reflects how Soldiers are expected to prioritize and apply these principles in daily conduct, teamwork, and leadership.

Loyalty means allegiance to the Nation, the Army, and teammates. Duty is fulfilling your assigned tasks and responsibilities. Respect involves treating others with dignity and valuing their rights. Selfless Service puts the welfare of the Nation, the Army, and comrades above self. Honor is living up to ethical and moral standards. Integrity is acting honestly and morally, even when no one is watching. Personal Courage is facing fear, danger, and moral challenges to do what is right.

Other options don’t fit because they reorder one or more values, breaking the established sequence.
