41. What do you perceive as the mission of your unit? Describe the importance of
your role in that mission. (Insight to the Soldier's understanding and attitude concerning
unit mission and their role) AR 600-20 Command Policy 2-1. Chain of Command a. The chain of
command assists commanders at all levels to achieve their primary function of accomplishing the
unit's assigned mission while caring for personnel and property in their charge. A simple and direct
chain of command facilitates the transmittal of orders from the highest to the lowest levels in a
minimum of time and with the least chance of misinterpretation. b. Commanders 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.
42. Describe your working environment and living conditions since being in Theater.
(Identify physical and psychological impact on Soldier's attitude). (1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7) FM
10-1, Ch. 7, para. 3, 'Tactical Vision. A primary QMC focus at the tactical level will continue to be on
sustainment of the soldier. Each company-sized unit will have two cooks and a small, state-of-the-art
field kitchen. This provides a limited capability to prepare or heat meals and supplements. An
improved containerized capability for providing responsive laundry and shower support well forward
on the battlefield must be developed. Frontline soldiers require brief respites from the rigors
associated with combat. A facility complex (Force Provider) will be available in which they can
shower, clean their clothes, eat hot meals, and rest in an environmentally controlled shelter.
43. Describe the unit command climate and Soldier morale. Has it changed or
evolved since you have been in Theater? (Identifies Soldier's perception of the chain of
command and Soldier attitude. Does the Soldier feel supported? Do Soldiers feel the
Command cares? Are they getting clear guidance?) 1 AR 600-20 • 13 May 2002 1-5.
Command, b. Elements of command. c. The commander is responsible for establishing leadership •
climate of the unit and developing disciplined and cohesive units. This sets the parameters within
which command will be exercised and, therefore, sets the tone for social and 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...
