Which statement best describes the Army values?

• A. They guide behavior in all aspects of life
• B. They apply only when in uniform
• C. They are optional
• D. They are only for leaders

Answer: (A)

Army values are standards that shape how you act in every situation, not just when you’re in uniform. They guide your decisions and behavior at all times—on duty, off duty, at home, and in the community. That means choosing honesty over shortcuts, treating everyone with respect, keeping your commitments, and having the courage to do what’s right even when it’s difficult. They aren’t turned off when you leave the gate, they aren’t optional, and they aren’t only for leaders. Every Soldier and Army civilian is expected to live by these values, because they define character and integrity across the entire force.
