What are the 7 Army Values?

• A. Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage
• B. Courage, Wisdom, Justice, Gratitude, Prudence, Fortitude, Humility
• C. Honor, Integrity, Loyalty, Truth, Service, Courage, Commitment
• D. Respect, Responsibility, Perseverance, Kindness, Patience, Punctuality, Accountability

Answer: (A)

The seven Army Values are the ethical foundation guiding Soldiers in every action. Loyalty means staying true to the Nation, the Army, and your teammates. Duty is fulfilling your assigned tasks and obligations to the best of your ability. Respect involves treating everyone with dignity and valuing others’ rights and contributions. Selfless Service puts the welfare of the Nation, the Army, and subordinates above personal interests. Honor requires doing what is right and living up to moral and ethical standards. Integrity means doing what’s right, legally and morally, even when it’s difficult or no one is watching. Personal Courage covers facing fear, adversity, and danger with resolve. Together, these values shape decisions, leadership, and behavior in training and operations.

The other lists mix in admirable traits, but they are not the official seven Army Values. The Army’s defined set centers on Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage, and that specific combination is what Soldiers study, train for, and live by.
