Roles of an Army Leader

Leaders will have numerous roles and responsibilities throughout their time spent serving. Some will
be commanders, staff officers, or senior civilians. Some will serve as platoon sergeants or first sergeants.
Others will be recruiters and instructors, leading through example, and seeking out and training
tomorrow’s leaders. Duty assignments may include time on a joint task force or as the member of a team
seeking answers to future challenges. Whatever their role, Army leaders must have the character, presence,
and intellect to do whatever is asked of them
