  1. The ability to operate on commander’s intent and can enable mission command at all levels.
  2. The ability to make sound ethical decisions based on the values and standards of the profession of arms.
  3. The ability to use available resources to enhance the discipline, readiness, resiliency, and health of the total force.
  4. The ability to anticipate, communicate, and mitigate risks.
  5. The ability to operate in joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational environments.
  6. The ability to think critically and develop agile, adaptive leaders.
