explained in a number of different ways. You can be accountable for yourself as an individual, you can be accountable for where other people are located at that moment, or you can be accountable for items that have been placed in your posession, and their immediate location. I am expected to be accountable for many items, tasks, and other people, each and every day at home and at work. Sometimes being held accountable for other people can include the items and tasks that the other people are responsible for that day. It is very important that i am accountable for these things and take responsibility for them. If my Ncos, Chain of Command, and also my friends and family did not hold me completely accountable i would then not be as responsible and dependable as i currently feel that i have been displaying.
When you have the great quality of accountability you also gain other great qualitys such as responsibility, dependableness, and also leadership. These are qualities that will get you far in life. People who feel that they are always able to count on you then feel like they are able to respect you more as a person and as a soldier, and are more likely to come to you more with things that they need help with. When you are a soldier of the united states army, it is very important that you are always accountable. Sometimes a soldier, or even a civilian forgets the importance of always being accountable.
The Importance of Accountability is one of the basic principles that the United States Army applies to its soldiers every single day. In my opinion it is one of the most impotant pinciples, and when it is leaned by a soldier, everything else then works more smoothly. It starts from the moment that the soldier arrives at basic combat training, a simple rule is then told to every individual soldier so that they can be successful throughout their entire military careers. This rule is, “Be at the right place, at the right time, in the right uniform.” This is all for the purpose of accountability, which is extremely important because not one mission can effectively start without the accountability of each individual soldier involved in the completion of the mission. From preventative maintenance checks and services bright and early on Monday mornings, to replacing the battery in the military owned vehicles, to mowing the lawn around the Company, the battalion, the brigade, around the outside of the motor-pool, and sometimes even Division grass, they all begin with taking accountability of the soldiers who are participating in the tasks that are set by the higher enlisted soldiers and officers. If a soldier is not accountable it can then effect their work extremely in a negative way. When you are not accountable to your chain of command and NCOs, you then negativly effect not only your own prosperity in the military, but you then also negatively effect the other soldiers in which you are not being accountable to and whom are relying on you, such as your chain of command, your NCOs, and your fellow soldiers. Every person who is in the army has a personal life that goes on after the hours of 1800. If you are unaccountable with your chain of command and NCOs, the other soldiers have to then pick up your slack that could be preventing them from being able to do things that they need to do in their own personal life, like ensuring that their wife is accountable and able to make it to work on time to her first day of her new job, because they had to stay at work and complete a task that you should of been helping them to complete. You should always make sure that your chain of command and NCOs are aware of your current location, especially during the hours in which you are expected to be reporting for duty. It is your obligation to call your Ncos (NON-COMMISIONED OFFICER) and make it aware that you have a legitimate reason that you will not be able to show up for your duty on time. Your
