It was not an easy decision to select SSG Behl because I have known many leaders in the Army that have outstanding legacies that positively impacted my career. SSG Behl has always been there for me. She has shown me the strength of her character (through her actions in her military career and throughout her civilian life) when she faces challenges head on.

Times may call for one responsibility to be a higher priority that the other, so it is imperative that leaders are able to differentiate what skills apply to certain situations. “Strategic leaders, for example, must control personnel development, evaluation and certification, and assignment and utilization processes in ways that motivate aspiring professionals as they progress through a career of service,” (TRADOC, 2010). The cycle of learning, training, and accomplishing goals creates a culture of duty-oriented Soldiers with dedicated character and leadership

Today’s military leadership was defined and cultured through revolutions, civil war, conflicts, and currently a combat era lasting almost ten years. Through recent leadership development changes brought on by former Secretary of the Army, Dr. Francis Harvey, the military has become an entity trying to keep ahead of the incessant derogatory diversions to the honorable way of life impeding military leadership everyday. Disregard for human life, loss of the moral compass, innuendo, and complacency have caused the hierarchy to struggle with the leadership model that has formed the civilian populace and ultimately, the future leaders of the military.

Throughout history, leadership has always been one of the cornerstones contributing to the success of the United States military. Whether in a Garrison or a combat environment, the applicability and level of effectiveness of leadership can be rooted to the resources made available to leaders. To form a clear comparison of garrison and combat leadership; mission and responsibilities must be taken in consideration.

The General’s delivery in the implementation of his doctrine motivated soldiers and leaders to elevate their performance and efforts, which defines inspirational motivation from FRL (BCEE, 2017d, p.11).

Notably, the majority of my soldiers lacked basic education, mostly because they were very modest people who came from rural areas of the country, and whose only choice to survive was to join the military to be able to provide for their families. Therefore, my mission was more challenging, as I was obliged to teach with patience and tolerance, I was expected to train each of my warriors in a concise and accurate manner.

The opportunity to work with leaders who became great mentors and set the example of excellent core values, work ethics, and interpersonal skills were significantly important to me. In my opinion, some of the most important qualities of a true leader are consistency, emotional intelligence and commitment, who truly mentor others to prosper and create a healthy work environment that is both encouraging and empowering.
