Paper: Ethic, Not Weapons, Remains Army’s ‘Greatest Asset’

As the Army advances its plan to confront modern warfare with technology, its most powerful weapon is its code of ethics, according to the author of a new paper published by the Association of the U.S. Army.
“Our Army’s greatest asset is not the sophisticated machinery it deploys nor the advanced weaponry it commands. Instead, it is an intangible force,” writes Maj. Ryan Crayne. “The moral code binding Soldiers to their purpose and to a higher standard of conduct is known as the Army Ethic.”
