If you witness misconduct, which core value guides you to act with uprightness and report it?

• A. Loyalty
• B. Respect
• C. Duty
• D. Integrity

Answer: (D)

Integrity guides you to act with uprightness and report misconduct. It means choosing what’s right over what’s easy, being honest about what you see, and taking responsibility for upholding standards even when it’s uncomfortable or costly. When you witness wrongdoing, integrity pushes you to report it so the issue can be addressed, accountability is maintained, and trust within the unit is preserved. This isn’t about blind loyalty, just respect, or simply fulfilling duties; it’s about aligning your actions with ethical principles and the Army’s standards.

Loyalty centers on allegiance to the unit or teammates, respect is about treating others with dignity, and duty is about fulfilling obligations. While those values matter, the act of reporting misconduct when you witness it is the clear expression of integrity.
