Foundational Day Monthly Focus Area

January
DUTY—Fulfill Your Obligations.
All Soldiers and DA Civilians strive to do their best. Duty extends beyond law, regulation, and orders. Army professionals exercise initiative when they fulfill the purpose, not merely the letter, of received orders. Leaders take responsibility for their actions and those of their subordinates; it is inherent in their duty to the larger organization, the Army, and the Nation. Conscientious leaders and subordinates possess a sense of responsibility to apply their best efforts to accomplish the mission. This guides Soldiers and DA Civilians to do what is right to the best of their ability. (ADP 6-22, 2-7)

February
DIVERSITY, EQUALITY & INCLUSION—Work every day to build a more inclusive Army culture.
Build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the unique and diverse backgrounds and experiences of our Soldiers and communities. As a team embrace and cultivate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion to the benefit of our unit and the Army. VALUES & BELIEFS—Values and beliefs affect how people think and act. People join the Army from a society with diverse personal values and beliefs respected within the standards of legal and ethical behavior. Variation in upbringing, culture, religious belief, and tradition is reflected among those who choose to serve in the Army. Such diversity provides many benefits for a force globally engaged around the world. Good leaders value this diversity of outlook and experience and must treat all individuals with the inherent dignity and respect due every person. All leaders have the critical responsibility to ensure that subordinates adhere to the Army Values as well as standards consistent with the United States Constitution, the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and Army rules and regulations. (ADP 6-22, 2-14)

March
COMBATING EXTREMISM: Extremism poses a threat to the total Army, both at home and abroad.
The U.S. Army does not tolerate harmful behaviors and activities—such as extremism, racism, sexual assault and harassment—in its formations. Harmful behaviors such as extremism tear at the fabric of force and undermine the rule of law and the protection of human and civil rights. Participation in extremist organizations and activities is inconsistent with the responsibilities of military service, and is punishable though the full range of statutory and regulatory sanctions, both criminal (UCMJ), and administrative. (Army Office of the Chief of Public Affairs)

April
HUMILITY—Humility in its Simplest Form is the Absence of Arrogance.
It is a sign of a leader being unselfish, working toward something more important than themselves. A person of high integrity, honesty, and character embodies the qualities of humility. For humility to apply, a leader must first have competence and confidence. A leader with the right level of humility is a willing learner, maintains accurate self-awareness, and seeks out others’ input and feedback. Leaders are seen as humble when they are aware of their limitations and abilities and apply that understanding in their leadership. (ADP 6-22, 2-31)

May
EMPATHY—Army Leaders Show Empathy When they Genuinely Relate to Another Person’s Situation,
Motives, or Feelings. Empathy does not mean sympathy for another, but a realization that leads to a
deeper understanding. Empathy allows the leader to anticipate what others are experiencing and feeling and gives insight to how decisions or actions affect them. Leaders extend empathy to others in both their leader and follower roles. Leaders with a strong tendency for empathy can apply it to understand people at a deeper level. This applies to DA Civilians, Soldiers and their Families, local populations, victims of natural disasters, and enemy combatants. Empathy enhances cultural understanding and enables an Army leader to better interact with others. (ADP 6-22, 2-23)

June
DISCIPLINE—“Discipline is the soul of the Army”, George Washington. Discipline is Essential to
Character, just as it is to an Organization. All leaders must demonstrate self-discipline—the ability to
control one’s own behavior—to do the harder right over the easier wrong. Doing tasks to the established Army standard without deviation reflects discipline. (ADP 6-22, 2-29)

July
HONOR—Live Up to Army Values. Living honorably, in line with the Army Values, sets an example for
every member of the organization and contributes to an organization’s positive climate and morale. How leaders conduct themselves and meet their obligations to the mission, other people, and the organization defines them as people and leaders. (ADP 6-22, 2-10)

August
LOYALTY—Bear True Faith and Allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, Your Unit and Other
Soldiers. The first order of loyalty is to the Constitution and the ideals upon which it is based. One cannot remain loyal to the Constitution by being loyal to those who violate it. To create strong organizations, superiors, subordinates, and peers must embrace loyalty. One way that individuals demonstrate loyalty is by upholding all of the Army values. With those values as a foundation, loyalty is a two-way exchange: leaders earn loyalty and subordinates expect loyalty in return. Leaders earn subordinates’ loyalty by training them well, treating them fairly, and living the Army Values. Subordinates demonstrate loyalty by working hard for their leaders and being as good as they can be at their jobs. Loyalty and trust enable the successful day-to-day operations of all organizations. (ADP 6-22, 2-6)

September
INTEGRITY—Do What’s Right, Legally and Morally. Leaders of integrity consistently follow
honorable principles. The Army relies on leaders who are honest in word and deed. Leaders of integrity do the right thing because their character permits nothing less. To instill the Army Values in others, leaders must demonstrate them. As an Army leader and a person of integrity, personal values should reinforce the Army Values. (ADP 6-22, 2-11)

October
PERSONAL COURAGE—Face Fear, Danger or Adversity (Physical or Moral). Personal courage is
not the absence of fear; it is the ability to put fear aside and do what is necessary or right. Personal courage takes two forms: physical and moral. Effective leaders demonstrate both. Physical courage requires overcoming fears of bodily harm and doing one’s duty. It triggers bravery that allows a Soldier to take risks in combat in spite of the fear of injury or death. For leaders, mission accomplishment may demand risking their own lives or those of Soldiers and justly taking the lives of enemies. (ADP 6-22, 2-12)

November
RESPECT—Treat People as They Should be Treated. The Army Values reinforce that all people
have dignity and worth and must be treated with respect. The Nation was founded on the ideal that
all are created equal. In the Army, each is judged by the content of their character. Army leaders should
consistently foster a climate that treats everyone with dignity and respect, regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, creed, or religious belief. Fostering a positive climate begins with a leader’s personal example. Leaders treat others, including adversaries, with respect. (ADP 6-22, 2-8)

December
SELFLESS SERVICE—Put the Welfare of the Nation, the Army and Your Subordinates Before
Your Own. Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving your country, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how he or she can add to the effort. (ADP 6-22, 2-9)
