What is the definition of integrity in the Army core values?

• A. To do what's right legally and morally.
• B. To be loyal to your subordinates
• C. To avoid accountability
• D. To prioritize personal comfort

Answer: (A)

Integrity means doing what is right in both legal and moral terms, even when it’s difficult or when no one would know if you cut a corner. In the Army, integrity is about honesty, accountability, and consistency between what you say and what you do. It requires following laws, regulations, and standards, owning up to mistakes, and taking appropriate action to fix them. The option that describes doing what's right legally and morally captures this full sense of integrity—the idea that actions must meet both ethical and legal expectations, not just personal or convenient standards. The other choices point to loyalty, avoidance of accountability, or prioritizing personal comfort, none of which align with integrity as it’s defined in Army values.
