achieve his mission. He should have full
knowledge of his job, has proficiency in
training and in combat, in peacekeeping
and in the implementation of national
policies for development.

personality of the individual soldier but
also that of the whole organization. It is
the responsibility of the soldier to take
extra care and use of his uniform and all
insignias he carries on them, for it is in
this simple ritual that the soldier is set
apart from the rest.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
DISCIPLINE
A soldier is a model of self-discipline.
Discipline is equally vital to preservation
of life as much as to the success of
military operations and demands
unconditional compliance as its foremost
aspect. It can preserve your life thus it is
enforced by those in authority and must
be followed without reservation.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
PROFESSIONALISM
Professionalism in the military career
stands for commitment, knowledge and
skills and is better expressed in ones
attention to duty with the required
discipline and competence. It gives rise
to impartiality, objectivity and nonpartisanship that are necessary to
support common goals for the welfare of
the population.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
ADHERENCE TO LAW
All soldiers are both citizens and military
personnel, hence are subject to the same
law and shall uphold the same as part of
their duty of service to the country. In
case of conflict, the higher military
standard of conduct required under the
same set of circumstances in either
system, is always paramount.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
DEFERENCE TO AUTHORITY
Authority within the military is evident in
the Chain of Command, starting with the
Non-Commissioned Officer in the most
vital role as implementer and the
succession of Commanding Officer before
him through which the commands are
progressively issued and implemented.
Deference to civil authority is likewise
required as a function of soldiers
responsibility.
APPLICATION
The primary responsibility regarding
ingraining and strengthening the
values and standards of conduct is
vested in the military leadership.
Officers and NCOs in command and
control positions should commit these
values to memory and be in a position
to clarify the same when inquired.
APPLICATION
The soldier is well aware of the methods for
the world and constantly utilizes his
knowledge of human nature when
confronted with circumstances not
particularly met in his training courses.
Values are taught by perception and
practice over time. Thus, it is normal that
steady survey of one's self in the dynamism
of daily life will guide the right application of
the prior qualities and standards of conduct
in military life, for this code to endure and
be relevant for the decades ahead.
