Why We Fight: Since World War II, the United States has been almost repetitively involved in combat, active members in a string of wars fought completely on foreign shores. American people have fought for the rights and freedom we have today. We the people earned the right for our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. We have always fought for what we believed in and have never stopped. This film helps encourage the involvement of the United States army to protect one who needs help fighting for what we believe is important.

The Army is nothing like any other military worldwide. They set themselves apart from all other militaries. The standards are held to a higher level than most. I enjoy being in the Army. As a Noncommissioned officer we are charged to uphold the standard and in force the standards. We must groom soldiers to be a great product of the Army. There are measures we take into making a great soldier, to include moral foundations.

The phrase ‘de opresso liber’, the motto of the U.S. Army Special Forces, encompasses the goal of all who serve. A phrase simply meaning ‘to liberate the oppressed’. Those who serve have been known as heroes, patriots, and warriors. Those who serve both domestically and abroad. Serving on and off the clock. These people are called warrior poets. Warrior poets are those whose souls are ignited by a higher purpose, their minds sharpened by depth of thought, and their hands ready to do horrible violence in the defense of others, while being lovers of both truth and people, and defenders of them both.

These values may be positive, as cleanliness, freedom, or education, or negative , as cruelty, crime, or blasphemy. So when discussing values you also enter ethics and morality into the equation. When encompassing a large group of people from different nationalities and ethnic backgrounds who have to establish a set of rules or values for all to find common ground on. The Army Values does just that. This plays into the role of responsibility because the acronym LDRSHIP displays just that. We found earlier that to be a leader you have to be responsible they go hand and hand. So by now you are probably wondering what is LDRSHIP. Leadership is loyalty, duty, respect, self-less service, honor, integrity, personal courage. These are the values that help each and every service member cope with the day to day struggles they face and help with their decision making process. I could define verbatim what these values mean but I would rather tell you what they mean to me. Loyalty is to be true to oneself and others always, duty is to do what needs to be done, your job. Respect is a two way street, treat others as you would treat yourself. Self-less service is simply to be able to step out of your comfort zone and do things for others and the Army with out putting yourself first. Honor, well in the spirit of the 27th Engineer Battalion “Do All Things Well.” Integrity, don’t

The Army is one of the largest organizations in the world. The Army is global; the Army is technologically advanced and maintains its own infrastructure. What allows the Army to be the modern day force that it is today? The Army has values, and expects results from its soldiers. This culture has created employees that lead the sons and daughters of our nation.

a. Chapter 1, “Our Service,” establishes the need and purpose for armies in history as well as present day conflicts through four subsections: the land domain, land operations, landpower for the nation, and the Army’s three strategic roles. The roles are: preventing conflict, shaping strategic environment, and winning decisively in combat. This chapter identifies the land domain as the stage on which most significant conflict is waged. Militaries shape conflicts by how effective or ineffective they can exert influence on land-based populations. Land operations consist of confronting adversaries in complex environments through use of lethal and nonlethal force. The Army is required to conduct offensive, defensive, and stability operations. Landpower for the nation communicates the need for a land-based force to influence foreign population and protect American interests. The last section defines the mission and pinpoints the importance of sustaining a standing and trained Army.

a. The Army is an skilled continuously improving professionals who are united by shared ethics, a common culture, and traditions. The American Soldier is an expert in his craft who is a guardian or American ethics and empowered to administer scaled force in support of upholding American policies defined in the U.S.

The majority of the Soldiers that comprise the Army are called to serve and are proud to wear the uniform and serve the American Society.

The soldier’s creed is a motto that every soldier who enters the US Army. Within it is held a set of standards and values that the Army holds itself by. The Warrior Ethos is one of the most important stanzas within the Soldier’s Creed. Within the warrior ethos resonates four important messages. Mission first, never quit, never accept defeat, and never leave a fallen comrade. However this stanza emphasizes the army values of Leadership, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. The purpose within these set of values is to reinforce an army level ideal that failure by an army and its soldiers is not acceptable while the means to fight exists. These values are supported and benefit from the implementation from the

United States constitution, the army, your unit, and other soldiers. That being said United States soldiers

The foundation between the Army and the American people is trust. Trust between the service members, the Constitution, and the American population. This characteristic guides each service members’ moral principles
