FOREWORD

The Soldier is the ultimate guardian of America’s freedom. In over

120 countries around the world, Soldiers like you are protecting

our Nation’s freedom and working to provide a better life for

oppressed or impoverished peoples. It is no accident our Army

succeeds everywhere we are called to serve—the loyalty and

selfless service of the American Soldier guarantee it.

Today our Army is fighting directly for the American people. This

global war on terrorism is about our future. It’s about ensuring our

children and grandchildren enjoy the same liberties we cherish.

While difficult tasks remain, victory is certain. The efforts and

sacrifices of the American Soldier will assure it.

Although our technology has changed, the core of our success

remains the American Soldier. Whether equipped with a bayonet

or an Apache helicopter, the American Soldier is the most lethal

weapon in the world. Regardless of MOS or location on the

battlefield, the American Soldier will accomplish the mission—and

will destroy any enemy interference with that mission.

This Soldier’s Guide applies to every soldier in the Army—active,

reserve, and National Guard—in every rank and MOS. It

condenses important information from a number of Army

Regulations, Field Manuals, DA Pamphlets and other publications.

This manual describes your role in the Army, your obligations, and

what you can expect from your leaders. Other subject areas are

Army history, training, and professional development. This manual

also describes standards in appearance and conduct and selected

individual combat tasks that are important for every Soldier to

master.

This manual gives you a good reference to find answers for many

questions. It helps clarify and reinforce standards and helps

prepare you to assume leadership positions. Read it thoroughly

and continue to do the great work American Soldiers have done

for almost 230 years.
