Define Character

• A. The ability to lead at all times.
• B. The dedication and adherence to the Army Values and the profession's ethic as constantly and faithfully demonstrated in decisions and actions.
• C. The willingness to take risk.
• D. The skill of strategic planning.

Answer: (B)

Character is the steady embodiment of the Army Values and the profession’s ethics in every decision and action. It means living those values consistently, even when it’s difficult or no one is watching, and letting choices reflect integrity, duty, respect, and courage daily. This isn’t about flashy leadership or taking risks, or about planning skill alone—it's about what you stand for and how that shows up in how you act, how you treat others, and how you own mistakes. By demonstrating these values repeatedly in real situations, you build the trust and moral foundation that define true character.
