10-3. Strategic leaders serve inside or outside the Army and must thoroughly understand political-military relationships. Army strategic leaders have responsibilities that extend beyond the Army to the national government, its leaders, and ultimately, to the American people. Senior Army leaders are the strategic stewards of the profession. At the strategic level, senior Army leaders address ends, ways, and means to accomplish global missions. They maintain the trust of the American people by living and upholding the Army Values in their decisions and actions taken in regard to policies, programs, systems and the care they provide to Soldiers, DA Civilians, and Army Families. Those serving in strategic leadership positions may lead complex organizations composed of members of the U.S. Army, other U.S. armed services, and those of other nations, members of federal agencies, and non-governmental entities. Strategic leaders, regardless of position, apply professional expertise and uphold the Army Values.
