By gaining progressive levels of expertise and leadership throughout their careers, Warrant Officers provide valuable technical guidance to commanders and organizations. The AG Warrant Officer, whether serving at the Battalion S1 level or the Pentagon, provides the human resources (HR) and administrative technical expertise to ensure a multitude of Army HR systems operate at their highest efficiency through professional management and technical training of their teams. Additionally, many of the Army‟s band units are commanded by an AG Corps Warrant Officer. We hope you enjoy this edition of 1775 dedicated the AG Corps‟ HR technicians and Bandmasters. Bob Ortiz, VP Pubs & Editor, 1775 Colonel (Retired), US Army [email protected] 2 The Journal of the Adjutant General’s Corps Regimental Association, www.AGCRA.com SECTION I: Regimental Leadership Notes from the Chief of the Corps By COL Robert L. Manning, Commandant, AG School, Chief of the AG Corps, and Chief, Army Bands coach, train, and counsel subordinates. They should be an integral part of any unit‟s HR functional training plan. Warrant Officers have a well deserved reputation across the AG Corps for being expert professionals who also happen to subscribe to the highest standards of selfless service. This means that we, as a community, should actively seek out these professionals to gain as much as we possibly can from their depth of expertise and their wide breadth of experience. On a personal note, as a 2LT in the 82d Airborne Division, I sought the assistance early on from Warrant Officers and was never disappointed. The names of Taylor, Broadway, Campbell, North and Binkley represented some of the Warrant Officers that not only assisted me with meeting AG technical mission requirements in an operational environment, but also helped me to become a better paratrooper and Jumpmaster. I learned to build professional relationships with them and other Warrant The Adjutant General’s Corps Warrant Officers like them, which have endured throughout my Officer!

There are many words that can encompass what the Army’s soldiers and civilians have to be, but none sum it up better than the Army Values. Flickr The U.S. Army in Europe is no different than anywhere else in the Army in its dedication to morality. The Army Values stand as a basis for every person working for the Army and provide a guideline for those people and their family members to make decisions on events that might require guidance. “We [service members] are pretty much the ambassadors of the United States, we have to represent some type of common sense and some type of courtesy to our host nation,” said Cpl. Cristina Trudeau-Hargett, a human resources specialist for 2nd Calvary Regiment, Regimental Headquarters and Headquarters Troop, Vilseck, Germany.

    Dauntless Battalion Cadet Red Book Widener University Villanova University West Chester University Penn State Abington & Brandywine Universities Immaculata University Neuman University Cheyney University 2 The Dauntless Battalion Red Book derives its name from the Pennsylvania Military College Cadet Regulations book which was traditionally red in color. From the PMC Cadet Regulations: “These rules and regulations are promulgated to give to each cadet within the Corps a standard by which he [or she] may be guided.” The Dauntless Battalion Red Book is derived for the same purpose: to advise incoming cadets what is expected from their first day on campus. Also, it provides upperclassmen a reference to which they hold their subordinates accountable. 3 4 It is the goal of the Dauntless Battalion to train and produce top level cadets to serve as Army officers. This Battalion Smart Book will serve as a helpful reference guide over the next four years as you work to achieving your goal to become a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. Over the next four years you will learn and develop your leadership skills, and take on larger roles in leadership within the Battalion. It is therefore important that you understand fully the information in the Smart Book, so that you will be able to better train and lead your fellow cadets. 5 Index Subject Page Number Cadet Creed 6 Soldier’s Creed 7 Military Courtesy 8 Drill and Ceremony 9 Uniforms 13 Grooming Standards 20 Cadet Chain of Command 22 Army and Cadet Rank 26 Cadet Reporting Chain 32 CDT NCO Duties 33 Troop Leading Procedures/MDMP 36 M-16/M4 39 Phonetic Alphabet/numbers 40 Profile Procedures 41 Standards of Conduct/Honor Code 42 Attendance Policy 43 Academic Performance 44 Army Code of Conduct 45 Army Song 46 Dauntless Battalion History 47 Army Flag 49 Army Values 51 Army Motto 52 ROTC Patch 53 Dauntless Patch 54 Notes 55 6 Cadet Creed I am an Army Cadet.
