Under NCOPDP, subordinates are coached to be totally committed to which elements?

• A. U.S. Army professional ethics, Warrior ethos, and Soldier's Creed
• B. Physical fitness, marksmanship, and drill
• C. Ethics only, without Warrior ethos
• D. Creed only, without ethics or Warrior ethos

Answer: (A)

Subordinates are coached to be totally committed to the U.S. Army professional ethics, the Warrior Ethos, and the Soldier's Creed. This combination shapes leaders who act with integrity, courage, and dedication to the team and the mission under all conditions. The Army professional ethics provide the standards for honorable conduct; the Warrior Ethos instills resolve and willingness to face adversity; and the Soldier's Creed defines the Soldier’s identity and responsibilities to the people, the unit, and the nation. Together they form a holistic foundation for leadership and behavior. Physical fitness, marksmanship, and drill are important, but they are performance aspects, not the core commitment emphasized by NCOPDP; and focusing on just ethics, or just creed, omits essential elements that complete the commitment.
