· Remember that praise is more valuable than
blame. Remember too, that your primary mission as a leader is to see with your
own eyes and be seen by your own troops while engaged in personal reconnaissance
·
Use every means before and after combat to tell
the troops what they are going to do and what they have done
· Discipline is based on pride in the profession
of arms, on meticulous attention to details, and on mutual respect and
confidence. Discipline must be a habit so ingrained that it is stronger than
the excitement of battle or the fear of death
· Officers must assert themselves by example and
by voice. They must be preeminent in courage, deportment and dress
· General officers must be seen in the front line
during action
· There is a tendency for the chain of command to
overload junior officers by excessive requirements in the way of training and
reports. You will alleviate this burden by eliminating non-essential demands
