AR 600-100 establishes guidelines for leadership and the Army profession. It defines key concepts, practices, and responsibilities related to these areas.

The Army's core objective is to be prepared to fight and win wars on land, operating as part of a larger military force.

The Army prepares its forces for land combat by organizing, equipping, and training them. They also work with other branches of the military and prepare for future challenges.

This policy applies to all levels of leadership in the Army, encompassing everyone from officers and NCOs to soldiers and civilians.

Leadership involves influencing people through clear goals, directions, and motivation to reach shared objectives.

Leaders inspire and guide others to achieve organizational goals. They make decisions and take actions, sometimes outside of the chain of command, to benefit the organization.

An Army professional, whether a Soldier or civilian, embodies character, competence, and commitment. They continuously seek improvement and guide those under their command.

The Army Ethic is the foundation of conduct for trusted Army professionals. It encompasses laws, values, and beliefs that guide their actions.

These characteristics are essential to a strong Army culture: trust, expertise, honorable service, stewardship, and shared spirit.

A healthy Army culture fosters unity, cohesion, and trust. It encourages adaptability, delegation of authority, and clear leadership goals.

Mission Command is a leadership style where authority is delegated through clear mission orders. This empowers leaders to adapt during operations.

Professional Certification verifies that Army professionals possess the character, competence, and commitment to effectively perform their duties.

Certification demonstrates the Army's high standards and serves as a motivator for personnel.

Competence means having the ability to perform duties to a standard with discipline and proficiency.

Commitment represents the dedication of Army professionals to serve honourably and complete missions despite challenges.

The Soldier Life Cycle aims to prepare, retain, and develop Soldiers. It also focuses on equipping leaders to mentor their subordinates effectively.

The Army invests in continuous education and training for both Soldiers and civilians to prepare them for their roles.

Leaders require essential attributes such as character, presence, and intellect to fulfill their responsibilities.

The Army's schooling system provides a structured path for education and training designed to meet the needs of various positions.

Operational Assignments provide opportunities for Soldiers to apply knowledge and skills gained through training in real-world scenarios.

Self-development involves goal-oriented learning aimed at expanding knowledge and understanding of current events.

Structured Self-Development aligns with both education in the classroom and practical experiences.

Army professionals can facilitate the development of others through counseling, coaching, and mentoring.

Counseling involves providing actionable feedback to subordinates to help them achieve their goals.

Coaching involves guidance and support in skill development through practice sessions.

Mentoring is a voluntary relationship of mutual trust between individuals with different levels of experience.
