Which core value is defined as 'To put the welfare of the nation, the army, and your subordinates before your own'?

• A. Duty
• B. Respect
• C. Selfless Service
• D. Integrity

Answer: (C)

Selfless Service means putting the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates ahead of your own needs. It’s about prioritizing the mission and teammates, even if it requires personal sacrifice or risk. This mindset shows up when you put the team first, support subordinates, and make choices that benefit others and the organization as a whole. It’s different from Duty (fulfilling obligations), Integrity (doing what’s right even when it’s hard), Respect (treating others with dignity), or Personal Courage (facing fear). So the given definition aligns with Selfless Service.
