ETHICS IN INDIAN ARMY
What is Ethics?
Ethics tells us that what is good for society as well as for individuals and it is also described as moral philosophy. We can say that ethics covers following things:
• Our rights and responsibilities.
• How to live a good life.
• The language of right and wrong.
• Moral decisions- What is good and bad.
Being ethical we can’t always be right to moral problems. According to many great thinkers, what all can ethics do is to eliminate confusion and provide clarity to the issue. After that it is up to individuals to go with what is concludes. Actually there is no single

Where as in Indian army the concept of duty is to serve for the nation at any cost. For them it is neither a profession nor a job it is a way of life. They are always ready to sacrifice their life for nation. For them first priority is the nation’s interest not self-interest not their family. They are only answerable to their land and superior officers. Many time they have to take decision which can be difficult, sometimes they must choose between the lesser of two evils or greater of two goods. There are often conflicts between what is best for individual and what is best for their group. They have to face many critical situation in day today life, this is what they have to deal every day and night. Ethical decisions requires strong effort and courage. According to me most of army personnel are innocent and sensitive. They are those personnel who were in the forefront in Kargil and these are those personnel who have saved Kashmir and the northeast states for India. Officers are the real leaders, they are real leaders because they lead by example. For the men they command they are like
It is less concerned with the psychology of the soldiers. The main job of soldiers as per the Marine Corps is an absolute willingness and obedience to follow all
The military is a big commitment by both you and the military. In the United States Army, military bearing is the reason why every service member practices this so they can take orders to carry out good discipline and ethics throughout their military service. Army regulations and The Articles of the Uniform Code of Military Justice show us how a military service member should conduct themselves on a daily basis. All soldiers have an obligation to conduct themselves like they are adults and to show respect to the ranks above them.
As a leader, we are obligated to be the prime example and enforce the Army Values and Warrior Ethos. Leaders should apply the army values and warrior ethos every day while on duty and off duty. Sometime as leader we do not notice that we apply in basic and big task. The army has place meaning for the army values and warrior. As leader we have different meaning what the army values and warrior ethos mean to us.
I find many Common roots between Army values, custom, and norms that I grew up with which define me as the person that I am, values such as Loyalty, Respect, Honor and Integrity. Over the course of six years serving in the United States Army I learn and achieves so much that, I falling love with it and Army become very important element in my life, which has the highest level of priority in my life. I will never hesitate to sacrifices my life to protect and defend United States of America, Constitution and United State Army just like the one I do for my family and I will do everything in my power to serve in the way that best benefit Army interest. I Leads others in the Army with set myself as an example, armed myself with warrior ethos, live with the Army Values, and maintain my military bearing in the highest standard level.
We all understand how to be a good Soldier. We must not only know those values, we must encompass them. As Dempsey says; (2010) “The Army Ethic begins with the moral values the Army defends” (p. 12). As a Human Resources Sergeant in the Profession of Arms, we have a calling. We have been called upon to take care of so many in so many different ways.
Their duties include having to go onto the battlefield, where it involves bloody scenes and requires a strong mentality. They have to have the courage to go on even if it seems tough and scary because that is what they are trained for. In the end, the most important thing that they have to protect is the wellbeing and security of the country. In the post deployment phase, service members, or soldiers return to their home installation and prepare to go back to their normal lives.
Non Commissioned Officers also have to know their soldiers and placed their needs before their own. This means that they have to take the time to learn about their soldiers, understand their struggles, and do everything they can, thus placing the soldiers needs before their own, as well as increasing morale, which is another responsibility of a Non Commissioned
Moreover, successful Army leaders and officers lead by example, exemplify essential characteristics of the Army Profession, and develops others. According to the definition of Army
Another aspect to look at is the moral of the unit. Moral of soldiers must be intact to hold soldiers together in the harsh environments they may face. Soldiers are often asked to work for long hours in difficult situations. They are asked to deploy to foreign countries far from home and perform tasks many choose not to do. For a soldier and further a unit to succeed in these tasks their moral must remain high.
When a soldier and leader applies integrity into their day to day operation, they trust each other to do the right thing at all times. Honor plays also plays a major part in a soldier’s and leader’s work environment as well, that is just living up to the Army Values. Once they develop that habit they’re showing that they are honorable. An individual shows selfless service simply by put others before yourself. This is the mindset one must have especially on the battle field, because in that situation you are not fighting for yourself, you are fighting for the man or woman to the left or right of you so that they can make it home to their loved ones.
The first step to creating this favorable environment, in my opinion, would be, to begin with, an "open-door policy." A leader can invite his soldiers to voice their views at any time and bring about any concerns that they may have while feeling completely comfortable to do so. A feeling of comradery within a team and a balance of powers, instead of overuse of harshness will ultimately lead to a better outcome in subordinate performance. Lastly, an essential step towards proper leadership deals with achievement. Achieving deals with the accomplishment of the goals in which the army has laid out, or that the individual sets for himself.
Ethics can be explained as principles a society develops to guide decisions about what is right and wrong. Ethical principles that society has are influenced by religion, history, and experience of the people in the group. Meaning that ethics is based on guidelines we have learned while growing up, that helps us differentiates what is right and what is wrong. For example, some people think health care should be a human right as others think it should only be available to those who can pay for it. Each group of people is guided by the principles they believe in.
Not committing to the task could potentially suggest that they were incompetent or lack the capacity as a military personnel so facing ‘dangers’ was a much preferred option. Additionally, discipline in the military can be seen when an officer makes his salutes appropriately, their conduct, to the state of their uniform and even how they present themselves in public. While discipline in military is rewarded as it is a sign of respect and duty, misconduct on the other hand is punishable. When discipline is lacking in an army personnel, it not only affects their own performance but also the team as a whole. It is therefore important to instil discipline early and effectively.
The integrity they possess make them courage to fight the right thing to do. It is the basis for the trust that is essential for the Armed Forces to operate effectively. By having
Basically, ethics are at their essence which is it is the moral judgments about what is right and what is wrong. Business ethics is focusing on examine the policies and conduct within the context of commercial enterprise in an organizational as well as in an individual level. In business, the ethics in business is an applied ethics where professionals and researchers use principles and theories to solve any ethical problems that exist in business. At the quarter of the 20th century, as technologies like internet have made world business or international business all more viable, the business ethics domestically have grown in importance along with the power and significance of major businesses. So that, international business ethics take center stage as a major concern of the modern era.
