delegate sufficient authority to soldiers in the chain of command to accomplish their assigned
duties, and commanders may hold these soldiers responsible for their actions. TA r pakr tkbt fliqui& )5 u51491- hub /l laNfR 0,1 (Aitsjop-)

leadership climate of the unit and developing disciplined and cohesive units. This sets the

duty relationships within the command. (1) Commanders and other leaders committed to the

professional Army ethic promote a positive environment. If leaders show loyalty to their soldiers,
the Army, and the Nation, they earn the loyalty of their soldiers. If leaders consider their soldiers'
needs and care for their well-being, and if they demonstrate genuine concern, these leaders build
a positive command climate. (2) Duty is obedient and disciplined performance. Soldiers with a
sense of duty accomplish tasks given them, seize opportunities for self-improvement, and accept
responsibility from their superiors. Soldiers, leader and led alike, work together to accomplish the
mission rather than feed their self-interest..
