STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOP) Stewarts Creek High School Army Junior ROTC

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOP) Stewarts Creek High School Army Junior ROTC Abbreviated SOP School Year (SY) 2016-2017 The Seven Army Values: Loyalty- Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit and other Cadets. Bearing true faith and allegiance is a matter of believing in and devoting yourself to something or someone. A loyal cadet is one who supports the leadership and stands up for fellow cadets. By wearing the uniform of the U.S. Army you are expressing your loyalty. And by doing your share, you show your loyalty to your unit. Duty- Fulfill your obligations. Doing your duty means more than carrying out your as- signed tasks. Duty means being able to accomplish tasks as part of a team. You fulfill your obligations as a part of your unit every time you resist the temptation to take “shortcuts” that might undermine the integrity of the final product. Respect- Treat people as they should be treated. Respect is what allows us to appreciate the best in other people. Respect is trusting that all people have done their jobs and fulfilled their duty. And self-respect is a vital ingredient with the Army value of respect, which results from knowing you have put forth your best effort. Selfless Service- Put the welfare of the nation, the Army and your subordinates before your own. Selfless service is larger than just one person. In serving your country, you are doing your duty loyally without thought of recognition or gain. The basic building block of selfless service is the commitment of each team member to go a little further, endure a little longer, and look a little closer to see how he or she can add to the effort. Honor- Live up to Army values. The nation’s highest military award is The Medal of Honor. This award goes to Soldiers who make honor a matter of daily living — Soldiers who develop the habit of being honorable, and solidify that habit with every value choice they make. Honor is a matter of carrying out, acting, and living the values of respect, duty, loyalty, selfless service, integrity and personal courage in everything you do. Integrity- Do what’s right, legally and morally. Integrity is a quality you develop by adhering to moral principles. It requires that you do and say nothing that deceives others. As your integrity grows, so does the trust others place in you. The more choices you make based on integrity, the more this highly prized value will affect your relationships with family and friends, and, finally, the fundamental acceptance of yourself. Personal Courage- Face fear, danger or adversity (physical or moral). Personal courage has long been associated with our Army. With physical courage, it is a matter of enduring physical duress and at times risking personal safety. Facing moral fear or adversity may be a long, slow process of continuing forward on the right path, especially if taking those actions is not popular with others. You can build your personal courage by daily standing up for and acting upon the things that you know are honorable. 11 Principles of Leadership Principle #1 – Know Yourself and Seek Self Improvement Develop a plan to keep your strengths and improve on your weaknesses. Principle #2 – Be Technically Proficient Not only do we know our duties and responsibilities, we know all those of our team members, and we look to our lead- ers and concern ourselves with learning their duties and responsibilities. Principle #3 – Seek Responsibility and Take Responsibility for Your Actions We are not satisfied with performing just our duties to the best of our abilities, we look to grow and seek further chal- lenges, and always, when in charge, accept the consequences of our decisions, absorb the negative and pass on the praises. Principle #4 – Make Sound and Timely Decisions Leaders must be able to reason under the most critical condition and decide quickly what action to take. Principle #5 – Set the Example No aspect of leadership is more powerful. Our personal example affects people more than any amount of instruction or form of discipline. We are the role model. Principle #6 – Know Your Personnel and Look Out for Their Well Being Leaders must know and understand those being led. When individuals trust you, they will willingly work to help accom- plish any mission. Principle #7 – Keep Your Followers Informed Our team members expect us to keep them informed, and where and when possible, to explain the reasons behind re- quirements and decisions. Information encourages initiative, improves teamwork and enhances morale. Principle #8 – Develop A Sense of Responsibility In Your Followers The members of a team will feel a sense of pride and responsibility when they successfully accomplish a new task given them. When we delegate responsibility to our followers, we are indicating that we trust them. Principle #9 – Ensure Each Task is Understood, Supervised and Accomplished Team members must know the standard. Supervising lets us know the task is understood and lets our team members know we care about mission accomplishment and about them. Principle #10 – Build A Team Leaders develop a team spirit that motivates team members to work with confidence and competence. Because mission accomplishment is based on teamwork, it is evident the better the team, the better the team will perform the task. Principle #11 – Employ Your Team In Accordance With Its Capabilities A leader must use sound judgment when employing the team. Failure is not an option. By employing the team properly, we insure mission accomplishment.
