Introduction
ADP 6-22 establishes and describes the Army profession and the associated ethic that serve as the basis for
a shared professional identity. It establishes and describes what leaders should be and do. Having a standard
set of leader attributes and core leader competencies facilitates focused feedback, education, training, and
development across all leadership levels. ADP 6-22 describes enduring concepts of leadership through the
core competencies and attributes required of leaders of all cohorts and all organizations, regardless of mission
or setting. These principles reflect decades of experience and validated scientific knowledge.
An ideal Army leader serves as a role model through strong intellect, physical presence, professional
competence, and moral character. An Army leader is able and willing to act decisively, within superior
leaders’ intent and purpose, and in the organization’s best interests. Army leaders recognize that
organizations, built on mutual trust and confidence, accomplish missions.
Every member of the Army profession, military or civilian, is part of a team and functions in the role of
leader and subordinate. Being a good subordinate is part of being an effective leader. Leaders do not just lead
subordinates—they also lead other leaders. Leaders are not limited to just those designated by position, rank,
or authority.
Being and doing are ineffectual without knowledge. Knowing the what and how of soldiering, tactics,
operational art, staff operations, functional and technical expertise, and many other areas are essential to
leading well. ADP 6-22 cannot convey all of the specific knowledge areas to become an expert leader. All
leaders accrue the knowledge and develop the expertise required to contribute to the support and execution
of the Army’s four strategic roles: shaping operational environments, preventing conflict, prevailing in largescale ground combat operations, and consolidating gains.
ADP 6-22 describes the attributes and core competencies required of contemporary leaders. ADP 6-22
addresses the following topics necessary for Army members to become a skilled, agile, and highly proficient
Army leader—
 Army definitions of leader, leadership, and counterproductive leadership.
 The Army leadership requirements model as a common basis for recruiting, selecting, developing,
evaluating leaders and, most importantly, for leading Soldiers and Department of the Army (DA)
Civilians.
 Roles and relationships of leaders, including the roles of subordinates or team members.
 What makes an effective leader: a person of integrity who builds trust and applies sound judgment
to influence others.
 How to lead, develop, and achieve through competency-based leadership.
 The basics of leading at the direct, organizational, and strategic levels.
 The influences and stresses of changing conditions that affect leadership.
Key updates and changes to this version of ADP 6-22 include—
 Information from ADP 6-22 and ADRP 6-22 combined into a single document.
 Incorporation of key concepts (Army profession and Army ethic) from ADRP 1.
 New leadership requirements model diagram.
 New discussions on the dynamics of leadership, followers, humility, and counterproductive
leadership.

Introduction
ADP 6-22 contains 10 chapters comprising three parts describing the Army’s approach to leadership:
 +Chapter 1 describes the Army profession, and the ways the Army ethic underpins the decisions
and actions of all Army leaders. It discusses the characteristics of the Army profession and
expectations of all Army professionals. Chapter 1 also defines leadership, describes the
foundations of Army leadership, introduces the Army leadership requirements model, and
addresses the various roles of Army leaders and the echelons of leadership.
 Part One describes the leader attribute categories of character, presence, and intellect. Chapter 2
discusses the attribute category of character: Army Values and Army ethic, empathy, Warrior
Ethos/Service Ethos, discipline, and humility. Chapter 3 discusses the attribute category of
presence: military and professional bearing, fitness, confidence, and resilience. Chapter 4
discusses the attribute category of intellect: mental agility, sound judgment, innovation,
interpersonal tact, and expertise.
 Part Two describes the core leader competencies and their application. Chapter 5 addresses the
competency category of leads: leads others, builds trust, extends influence beyond the chain of
command, leads by example, and communicates. Chapter 6 describes the competency category of
develops: prepares self, creates a positive environment, develops others, and stewards the
profession. Chapter 7 describes the competency category of achieves and the supporting actions
of providing guidance, and managing and monitoring duties and missions. Chapter 8 discusses the
challenges of the operational environment, stress, and change.
 Part Three addresses the roles and responsibilities of organizational leaders in chapter 9 and of
strategic leaders in chapter 10.

Chapter 1
The Army Profession, Ethic, and Leadership
For more than 240 years, the United States Army has protected the people and interests
of the Nation. The Army is not alone. The Marines Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast
Guard, government agencies, and local law enforcement and firefighters all perform
similar services to the Nation and its communities. All volunteered. In many cases,
they choose to place themselves in harm’s way based on a conviction that personal
service makes a difference. Leading Soldiers requires an understanding of the Army
profession and ethic that are the basis for a shared professional identity and underpin
all leader decisions and actions. To inspire Soldiers to risk their lives requires
professional leaders capable of providing purpose, direction, and motivation. This
chapter describes the Army profession, describes the Army ethic, and introduces Army
leadership.
…the Soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the
deepest wounds and scars of war.
General of the Army Douglas MacArthur
Thayer Award acceptance speech, 1962
+THE ARMY PROFESSION AND ETHIC
1-1. War is a lethal clash of wills and an inherently human endeavor that requires perseverance, sacrifice,
and tenacity. The United States Army’s primary reason for existence is to deploy, fight, and win the Nation’s
wars by providing ready, prompt, and sustained land dominance by Army forces across the range of military
operations as part of the joint force. Enduring the physical hardship, danger, and uncertainty of combat
requires an Army that is professionally committed and guided by an ethic that motivates and guides its forces
in the conduct of missions, performance of duty, and all aspects of life.
1-2. Providing the purpose, direction, and motivation required to inspire others to risk their lives to
accomplish missions requires leaders committed to their profession and ethic. To prepare Army leaders to
fulfill their responsibilities, the Army profession develops Soldiers and Army civilians who demonstrate
character, competence, and commitment through career-long training, education, and experience.
+THE ARMY PROFESSION
1-3. The Army has a dual nature as both a military department of government and a trusted military
profession. The character of the Army as an institution and a profession are both essential to accomplishing
the Army’s mission. However, it is the American people’s trust and confidence in the Army as an ethical
profession that grants it the autonomy to exercise the disciplined initiative critical to accomplishing missions
under diverse conditions around the world.
1-4. Traditional professions share essential characteristics. They provide a vital service to society, requiring
expertise and skill developed through years of training, education, and experience. Professions establish
standards of practice and certify that their members are qualified to serve the needs of society.
1-5. Professionals accept the responsibility to be stewards of the people and resources entrusted to them by
society and to advance the state of their profession in anticipation of changes to the world around them.
Professions motivate their members to answer a “calling to honorable service,” to pursue lifelong learning,

1-1
Chapter 1
and to cooperate as members with a common purpose higher than individual gratification. A calling or
vocation means that the mission is more important than the individual is, which is the basis of sacrifice.
1-6. Professions self-police and must live by an ethic with both legal and moral foundations. A professional
ethic provides the set of moral principles that guide decisions and actions in professional practice. Traditional
professions include medicine and law, science and engineering, architecture, higher education, ordained
religious practice, and the military.
1-7. Ultimately, society trusts professions and grants them autonomy and discretion with prudent, balanced
oversight or external controls. If a profession violates its ethic and loses the trust of society, it becomes subject
to increased societal regulation and governance.
1-8. The Army profession is a trusted vocation of Soldiers and Army civilians whose collective
expertise is the ethical design, generation, support, and application of landpower; serving under
civilian authority; and entrusted to defend the Constitution and the rights and interests of the
American people. The Army profession includes two complementary communities of practice—the
Profession of Arms and the Army Civilian Corps.
 The Profession of Arms comprises the Soldiers of the Regular Army, Army National Guard, and
the Army Reserve.
 The Army Civilian Corps is composed of Army civilians serving in the Department of the Army.
+Figure 1-1. The Army profession
1-9. These communities of practice are trusted Army professionals—honorable servants in defense of the
Nation, experts in the performance of their duties, and responsible stewards of the Army profession. The
Army ethic underpins the decision and actions of all Army professionals. (See paragraph 1-44 for more on
the Army ethic.)
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ARMY PROFESSION
1-10. Five characteristics identify and establish the Army as a profession. These characteristics reflect
American values, the Army ethic, and the Army’s approach to conducting operations. Demonstrated
consistently, these characteristics reinforce trust between the Army profession and the American people. The
five characteristics of the Army profession are—
 Trust.
 Honorable service.
 Military expertise.
 Stewardship.
 Esprit de corps.
Trust
1-11. Trust is the foundation of the Army’s relationship with the American people, who rely on the Army to
ethically, effectively, and efficiently serve the Nation. Within the Army profession, trust is shared confidence
1-2
ADP 6-22, C1
25 November 2019
The Army Profession, Ethic, and Leadership
among commanders, subordinates, and partners in that all can be relied on and all are competent in
performing their assigned tasks.
1-12. Trust has a direct relationship on the time and resources required to accomplish the mission.
Subordinates are more willing to exercise initiative when they believe their commander trusts them. They
will also be more willing to exercise initiative if they believe their commander will accept and support the
outcome of their decisions. Likewise, commanders delegate greater authority to subordinates who have
demonstrated tactical and technical competency and whose judgment they trust.
1-13. Trust within the Army profession allows us to rapidly task organize units and build teams where
interpersonal relations are not yet established. In some situations, trust may be based solely on a common
understanding of an approach to operations. This understanding creates a basic level of trust that, until proven
otherwise, adjacent units or new team members will conduct operations to a common standard.
1-14. The Army’s trust with the American people reflects their confidence and faith that the Army will serve
the Nation and accomplish missions ethically. This trust is earned and reinforced as the Army contributes
honorable service, demonstrates military expertise, and exercises responsible stewardship. External trust with
the joint force, interagency partners, allies, and coalition forces is essential for success in operations across
multiple domains.
1-15. The Army profession is successful when it sustains the respect and trust of the American people. This
requires that professionals perform their duty every day in a manner that the American people judge to be
ethical according to the beliefs and values enshrined in the Nation’s founding documents. Trust is lost when
we fail to meet these expectations. Accordingly, Army leaders establish conditions that serve to prevent
misconduct or unethical practices and take corrective action when it occurs.
1-16. Army professionals protect the constitutional rights of every American and the basic human rights of
all people. Any failure to respect these rights diminishes trust with the American people and with the
international community. Such failure can cause great harm to the legitimacy of the Army profession and the
Nation. Important insights for all Army professionals informing why and how they serve include—
 The collective rights of the American people to independence and political sovereignty constitute
the moral basis for the Army mission.
 Protecting the Nation’s collective rights is the honorable service the Army profession provides for
society.
 Army professionals must not violate the rights of others, or they violate their own ethic and erode
the trust and legitimacy built with the American people, allies, and partners.
 The Army mission justifies the ethical application of landpower.
 The moral justification for the Army mission is the basis for taking the lives of others and placing
the lives of Soldiers at risk.
Honorable Service
1-17. Honorable service is support and defense of the Constitution, the American people, and the national
interest in a manner consistent with the Army ethic. Army professionals serve honorably by obeying the laws
of the Nation and all legal orders. Army forces reject and report illegal, unethical, or immoral orders or
actions.
1-18. Army professionals contri
