The Army Vision

The Army Vision Begins and Ends with People

The Army is People. They are the engine behind our capabilities, and the Soldier remains the centerpiece of our formation. We will continue to attract, train, motivate, and retain the most competent and dedicated people in the Nation to fuel our ability to be persuasive in peace and invincible in war. We will assure the Nation's security by equipping, training, and caring for our people and their Families and enabling their full potential as individuals. The Army will be a professionally rewarding and personally enriching environment within which people take pride in being part of the Nation's most highly esteemed institution. Our physical, moral, and mental competence will give us the strength, the confidence, and the will to fight and win anywhere, anytime. We will be trained and ready to do anything the American People ask us to do, and we will do it better, faster, and more affordably. In the process, we will provide the inspired leadership which celebrates our Soldiers and nurtures their Families, trains for decisive victories, and demonstrates responsible stewardship for the national treasure entrusted to us - our men and women in uniform, and the resources to make them successful.

We are and have been and will remain a values-based institution where loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage are the cornerstone of all that we do today and all of our future successes.
