The character of the Army as an institution and a profession are both essential to accomplishing the Army's mission. However, it is the American people's trust and confidence in the Army as an ethical profession that grants it the autonomy to exercise the disciplined initiative critical to accomplishing missions under diverse conditions around the world (ADP 6-22). See Figure 1-1 for more information on the Army Profession. 1-2. Traditional professions share essential characteristics.
