Unit/ Sub Unit Level. Commanders need to utilise the religious teachers in their units not only to perform religious ceremonies but also to talk about ethics as given in religious scriptures. Commanding Officers need to make ethical behaviour as fundamental part of character of their command & this they can do so by giving due importance to spiritual training. The administrative inspection reports of various units & formations must include reporting on its ethical environment. Regular sessions & classes must be held both formally & informally with the men to make them realize the importance of ethical conduct & its implications on counter insurgency operations.

  • Military Ethos In Thomas Rick's Making A Corps

    1085 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the words of Thomas Ricks’ in his war-time novel Making a Corps, this phenomenon is described as “Discipline […] the instant willing obedience to all orders, respect for authority, self-reliance and teamwork,” (Ricks 71). That is, only when soldiers are indoctrinated or disciplined into a particular “military ethos” can they conduct themselves in this uncomfortable, unusual, and at times inhumane manner. According to this assumption, that military ethos is applied to each soldier; however, I’d argue that although individualism is prominent in war, individuals tend to act out of collective motivation more so than individual motivation. Based on that premise, we can see that it is in fact more accurate to apply the concepts of a military ethos to a collective, rather than to individuals. In this paper, I will provide examples to demonstrate the validity of this
