”The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States”, is arguably the single most important military doctrine ever created. There have been many important manuals and regulations written since its creation, but none with as much impact and significance. Baron Von Steuben wrote “The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States”. Von Steuben volunteered for service in the Continental army at the perfect time. The current Inspector General for the army was drastically failing at his duties; the Soldiers and army as a whole were suffering from his failings. Von Steuben, a former Prussian officer with immense staff experience was just the man to replace the current Inspector General…
The purpose of Army Regulation 670-1 as stated in chapter 1 paragraph 1-1 is as follows. “This regulation prescribes the authorization for wear, composition, and classification of uniforms, and the occasions for wearing all personal, (clothing bag issue), optional, and commonly worn organizational Army uniforms. It also prescribes the awards, insignia, and accouterments authorized for wear on the uniform, and how these items are worn. General information is also provided on the authorized material, design, and uniform quality control system.” The book answer to the purpose of the regulation only goes so far. If you look further into the regulation it states that the United States Army is a uniformed service that is judged, in part, by the way a soldier wears their uniform. This being said, if a soldier wears their uniform in a manner which is not clean and neat in appearance, and portrays the army poorly, the members of the United States Army would be viewed in a poor and undisciplined manner. Whereas if the members of the United States Army hold themselves to a higher standard, and maintain a neat and clean appearance, the members of the uniformed service will be viewed by the outside world as an organization which personifies what discipline is supposed to be. While we are on the subject of discipline, I think it would be good to explore it and it’s relation to the importance of Army Regulation 670-1. Discipline is one of the cornerstones of the United States Army. Discipline can set you above and beyond everyone else, and it can help you excel in everything you do. What is…
I was only nineteen years old living in Korea. It was my first duty station in the army fresh right out of AIT, which is Advanced Individual Training. When I got to Korea everyone had warned me about the rules and which one everyone gets into trouble the most. Underage drinking, everyone all my NCO's said if you are not twenty one do not drink the MP's, which is the military police are out to get you and they will get you. In my head I was like they not getting me I'm going to be smart about it. My first week into my new unit I started going out drinking making new friends…

Army regulation that governs the soldier’s hair and grooming practices and/or accommodations because of religious practices. The requirement for hair grooming standard is important to maintain uniformity within a soldier population. Many hair styles are acceptable as long as they are very neat and conservative. Soldiers were given exceptions based on religious practices in accordance with Army Regulation 600-20 on and before to 1 January 1986 which still remain in effect as long as the soldiers remain otherwise qualified for retention. It is impossible to address every acceptable or unacceptable haircut, or what is or is not eccentric or conservative grooming of the hair. The leaders at all levels are responsible for exercising good judgment of the Army policies and regulations. Judgment of certain haircuts and or hairstyles is supposed to be determined while the soldier’s headgear is worn.Army Regulation 670-1 covers the wear and appearance of military uniforms. Wearing the military…
Driving while under the influence is a serious charge and there a several different army regulations that govern it. The primary regulation that governs it is article 112 of the uniformed code of military justice. DUI is a very serious offense, but when faced with a DUI while serving in the military, it means the consequences can and usually are much more severe. If someone who is a member of the armed forces finds him or herself facing a Military DUI charge, there are a number of differences regarding a military DUI compared to a civilian DUI charge. The first difference is that when a person is in the military, their case can be tried in a military court. The military has a different criterion for evaluating the state’s legal blood alcohol level. In a military court, if the blood alcohol limit is lower than the state’s legal limit, it doesn’t necessarily matter. If the military court feels that the blood alcohol level was high enough to impair the ability of the person driving a vehicle, they can still be charged with a military DUI. Intoxicated in the military is defined as the presence in the blood of any amount of alcohol, however small. It is very possible for a military person to be DUI or DWI even if a Breathalyzer or BAT, blood alcohol test, discloses that the blood alcohol concentration is considerably below the state’s legal level.…
There are many reasons why a soldier, (doesn't matter the rank) should obey orders from anyone above him or her in the chain of command. Sometimes its good to listen to people soldiers below you too because they maybe smarter at the task then you are. One reason is that the military is revolved around higher ranking soldiers leading the lower ranking soldiers, they’re more experienced in the military then I am and been deployed more than i have. If everyone in the military just did their own thing then we wouldn't be a successful army and then our country wouldn't be as strong as it is. Every higher up gives an order for a reason, we may not like the reason but in the end most of the orders and decisions will be smart ones i guarantee. We were taught as children to obey our higher-ups. Starting from our parents, teachers, managers, police officers and etc… So how does this relate to the military? Well, when a person enlists in the United States Military, active duty or reserve, they take the following oath, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.” Right there you are making a promise to the United States Military. Before you or I even put on the uniform, you promise you’ll obey the orders of the President and the orders of the officers appointed over you. Military discipline and effectiveness is built on the foundation of obedience to orders. Brand new privates are taught to obey, immediately and without question, orders from their superiors, right from day one of boot camp. Almost every soldier can tell you that obedience was drilled into their…
I agree with you that that ground rules assist in delivering the information and create efficient system. You pointed out several ground rules, but do you think due to the military or navy system they are more procedural rules, as in that kind of service ground rules are limited as it still focused on order giving. I never served in the military so would not know. Also, do you think military should use more ground rules to create environment were employees could address issue in more honest manner without fear of repercussion. Like one of the ground rules in the book is explain your reasoning and intent- would that ground rule work in military/navy setting??…

Over time the uniform of a soldier has change. Since the days of the Revolutionary War to today modern wars in Afghanistan and Iraq the uniform has change but the guide lines has not. As the uniform evolved, so has the regulation that covers it has also. The regulation that covers this is Army Regulation 670-1, the covers everything from how to cut and maintain your hair to how to wear jewelry, eyeglasses and sunglasses. This regulation is something every soldier should read, even the ones who have been in for over ten years. Because from what I have learned is that this regulation is constantly changing.…
By disobeying an order I may face several serious consequences. I would say the worst consequence would be getting someone hurt or even killed in battle. I don’t know how I would be able to live with myself if I allowed that to happen all because I didn’t listen to the orders I was given by my NCO. We could be on a mission and a Non Commissioned Officer could tell me to pull security on a particular building and by not listening the enemy could sneak up and fire on us and my battle buddy could be seriously injured or killed right on the spot all because I didn’t listen to when my NCO told me to pull security on that particular building. It would all be preventable if I just listen and do as I am told. Another thing that would be easy to prevent by opening my ears and listening would be destruction of military equipment. I could have gotten…
The army has a number of requirements with which it members must comply. Among these requirements are abiding by rules and regulations, agreeing to a background check, and completing 12 weeks of basic training. Also, the military requires that their members regularly attend meetings and engage in various types of military training but should a member opt not to comply with these rules and regulations, he or she would lose credibility within the group and risk expulsion. The notion of compliance is essential within military type operations and training. A soldier is not asked to agree with the orders in question but is simply asked to comply without question.…
A first habit I need to get used to in becoming successful in the Army reserves is to exercise and lift weights frequently. With this habit, it can help me become a stronger person physically, I will be able to join faster due to my condition. Being physically and mentally prepared is a good quality to have because then they're able to rely on you more. A second habit I need to get used to is eating healthier. I usually eat fast food once or twice a week and I would love to eat healthier each day to become healthier than I already am. I am a pollo vegetarian, I only eat chicken and seafood, with this diet, I tend to eat healthier. If I tend to keep this habit in mind, I ensure myself I will be on the road to success in life, if not, there probably…
