Q

What is the origin of the Salute?

A

The origin of the Hand Salute is uncertain. Some historians believe it began in late Roman times when assassinations
were common. A citizen who wanted to see a public official had to approach with his right hand raised to show that he did not hold a weapon. Knights in armor raised visors with the right hand when meeting a comrade. This practice gradually became a way of showing respect and, in early American history, sometimes involved removing the hat. By 1820, the motion was modified to touching the hat, and since then it has become the Hand Salute used today.

Q

What is the proper process for reporting to an Officer indoors?

A

Whenreporting to an officer in his office, the soldier removes his headgear,knocks, and enters when told to do so. Heapproaches within two steps of the officer’s desk, halts, salutes, and reports, “Sir (Ma’am), Private Jones reports.” The salute is held until the report is completed and the salute has been returned by the officer. When the business is completed, the soldier salutes, holds the salute until it has been returned, executes the appropriate facing movement, and departs. When reporting indoors under arms, the procedure is the same except that the headgear is not removed and the soldier renders the salute prescribed for the weapon with which he is armed.

Q

Describe the “Be, Know and Do”.

A

Army leadership begins with what the leader must BE, the values and attributes that shape a leader’s character. Your
skills are those things you KNOW how to do, your competence in everything from the technical side of your job to the people skills a leader requires. But character and knowledge while absolutely necessary are not enough. You cannot be effective, you cannot be a leader, until you apply what you know, until you act and DO what you must.

35
Q

What does the Evaluation Reporting System (ERS) identify?

A

The ERS identifies officers and non-commissioned officers who are best qualified for promotion and assignments to
positions of higher responsibility. ERS also identifies Soldiers who should be kept on active duty, those who should be
retained in grade, and those who should be eliminated.

36
Q

Under the ERS a Soldier is evaluated on performance and potential. In this system, what three kinds of
evaluations are given?

A
  1. Duty evaluations. Either the DA Form 67–9 or DA Form 2166–8 is used for these evaluations.
  2. School evaluations. Either the DA Form 1059 and DA Form 1059–1 is used for these evaluations.
  3. DA evaluations. Selection boards and personnel management systems are used for these evaluations. Duty and
    school evaluations are single time-and-place evaluations and are used to make DA evaluations. DA evaluations
    cover the entire career of an officer and non-commissioned officer.
37
Q

DA evaluations focus on an individual Soldier’s potential. They are judgments on their ability to perform at
current and higher grades, and they are also made to judge whether an officer or NCO should be retained and
given greater responsibility in their present grade. In making DA evaluations, what three factors are
considered?

A
  1. Army requirements for leaders: officers and non-commissioned officers frequently change. At times, the Army
    has a need for leaders with certain backgrounds, experience, and expertise. The size of the Army leader corps
    by law in terms of strength by grade. Army needs limit the number of selections and assignments that can be
    made. Thus, a leader’s potential is partially determined by how they compare with their peers.
  2. Duty performance. Performance of duty is an extremely important factor in determining a leader’s potential.
    Duty performance is judged by how well a Soldier performs their assigned tasks and how well they meet Army
    professional values uniquely established for each respective corps.
  3. Leader qualifications. It must be considered in order to meet Army needs for outstanding leaders of troop or
    technical units, supporting staff managers, and technical specialists. One consideration in determining
    qualifications is the different skills and backgrounds required by different specialties. Another consideration is
    a Soldier’s individual progress through specialist fields to positions of greater responsibility. In addition, length of service, civil schooling, military schooling, or other unique skills required by the Army are considered.
