Essay On The Army

The following day, SFC Collins came into our office and formally introduced himself. It quickly became apparent to me that he was not like any of the other leaders I had encountered up to this point in my career. The first thing that struck me was how genuine he was and that he truly seemed to care about our section not just as soldiers, but as people. He knew the events that had led up to his becoming our new NCOIC, but showed no indication that it had affected or influenced his judgment of who we were or how we operated. After the initial orientation, he started asking about our counselings and began building our team foundation from there. By the end of that first meeting, I already knew he was honest, fair, competent and above all, a true leader.

I am very persistent. Once I set my mind to something, I strive for it until I achieve it or it has proved impossible for me to obtain my goal. It was once my goal to join the Army.

Stewardship of the Army Profession is the last of the Five Essential Characteristics of the Army Profession, but in terms of importance, it is just as, if not more important than the other four. The United States Army’s ADRP-1, or Army Doctrinal Reference Publication 1, even defines stewardship as “the responsibility of Army professionals to ensure the profession maintains its five essential characteristics now and into the future”. Such importance is placed on this characteristic because Stewardship of the Army Profession is the one that ensures the other four are maintained. I sought out the definition of stewardship because despite having spent almost three and a half years and West Point, I was not entirely sure what the doctrine behind Stewardship was. In doing this, I felt like I was better prepared for both this paper and ensuring that the corrections I made were stewarding the profession. With this newly acquired knowledge, I set out to make my corrections.
