Army Leadership and the Profession

by Headquarters, Department of the Army

Army doctrine publication (ADP) 6-22, Army Leadership and the Profession, establishes and describes the foundations of Army leadership (including the Army Profession), outlines the echelons of leadership (direct, organizational, and strategic), and describes the attributes and core leader competencies expected of all leaders across all levels and cohorts.

The principal audience for ADP 6-22 consists of all members of the Army, military and civilian. Trainers and educators throughout the Army will also use this publication. The use of the term Army leaders refers to officers, noncommissioned officers, and select Department of the Army Civilians unless otherwise specified.

Commanders, staffs, and subordinates ensure that their decisions and actions comply with applicable United States’, international, and host-nation laws and regulations. Commanders at all levels ensure their Soldiers operate in accordance with the law of war and the rules of engagement (see FM 6-27).

[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

Somewhat repetitive in places, which is not unexpected, but a valuable insight and good foundation for thinking about Army leadership. I agree with some others that some terms are too loosely defined (particularly in terms of character development), but overall, it's a good document that should be far more widely studied than it is.

It has good bits, but don't expect much out of it.
