Guidance
NOTE: Before presenting this lesson, instructors must thoroughly prepare by
studying this lesson and the identified reference material.
Perhaps more than any other lesson plan it is important to enter into the
contemporary operating environment by emphasizing personal experiences, and or
knowledge of specific instances to verify and confirm various talking points.
Knowledge of Small Group Discussion dynamics would be helpful toward
presenting this Lesson Plan. The key is to bring out the Soldier’s personal
interpretation of each of the Army Values, after they have been thoroughly
explained.

Motivator
Value Motivator: Sound leadership and principles of war cannot provide a
foundation for the Army. Rather, the Army must be a value-centered institution
with a moral justification rooted in the fundamental principles cherished by all free
people, and manifested in the values stated in our Constitution. In other words,
the Army must be composed of professionals who understand and practice the
Army’s seven Values—Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor,
Integrity, and Personal Courage.
