In this essay I will be examining the qualities needed for self discipline in the army and I will explain why these are necessary for effective operation of the service and then I will explain the possible impact of the lack of self discipline

Following orders will provide effective operation in service because it enables successful teamwork because if everybody follows their orders then all the operations will run smoothly as long as the orders are correct. It would also limit accidents because everybody would be using the equipment correctly so there would be no chance of accidents.

Teamwork would create trust which is essential because their needs to be a lot of trust if the soldiers are to risk their lives for each other it would also improve job satisfaction because your teammates are your best friends then your going to enjoy all the time that your together and want to work harder for each other. Personal Fitness would maximize efficiency because if everybody can carry all their equipment and still run for miles then they would be effective in service all the time and not need to stop for a rest which could put the whole team in danger. Giving all you can would enable the service to be the best it can because if everybody is always giving 100% then they would keep on improving, it would also improve trust in the service which would improve the confidence of the public in them which could lead to them receiving more funding.

If the army was lacking in any of these key factors then there would be a serious chance of them failing in service due to there being no trust which would mean that you would not feel safe doing your job because you didn’t believe in the capabilities of your team mates, this would mean that you wouldn’t be able to fully concentrate on your job which would decrease the effectiveness of the team. If the effectiveness of the team is reduced it would also waste public money.
