In 1950 when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces
Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A.
Marshall, “that American military officers, of whatever service, should
share common ground ethically and morally.” In this new edition, the
authors thoughtfully and methodically explore that common ground.
I recommend that every officer read this book carefully, ideally more
than once over the course of a career, as a way to reflect on the basics
of the Profession of Arms, and the officer’s special place and distinctive
obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.
—General Richard B. Myers, USAF (Ret.)

Character at the National Defense University
