What publication covers the Army Profession?

• A. AR 165-1
• B. ADP/ADRP 6-0
• C. AR 670-1
• D. ADRP 1

Answer: (D)

The publication that covers the Army Profession is the Army Doctrine Publication that specifically titled The Army Profession. This document is the authoritative source that defines what the Army Profession is, and it lays out the duties, ethics, standards, and expectations that accompany being a professional in the Army. It explains how trust with the American people, military expertise, and stewardship of the Army shape professional identity and behavior for soldiers and Army civilians alike.

Other regulations focus on different topics: for instance, one regulation handles public affairs and how the Army communicates with the public, another sets dress and appearance standards, and a separate doctrine publication deals with Command and Control and how leaders exercise initiative and direction. None of those address the essence of what it means to be an Army professional the way The Army Profession publication does.
