Military Accountability Essay
Being late does not make one important. Tardiness is a very unattractive quality when it comes to most aspects of one's life: family functions,
meetings, interviews, and especially a job. While a family may forgive tardiness, a job will not. Being late once or twice in one's life is
unavoidable. Being consistently tardy makes one unreliable and shows a lack of respect for other people's time and obligations. Being late tells
others that one person can be waited on, while everyone else can't. People do not like when their feelings were not taken into consideration, when they
took the time to consider others. Punctuality is a very important part of military life for several reasons. one reason is that if someone is late for a patrol

What could have been done the night before? Punctuality is a habit. It's a matter of creating the routine and sticking with the routine. Punctual
people will be winners everywhere and will be one step ahead of the others. Planning ahead will contribute to being punctual, less stress, and the
ability to navigate around unforeseen circumstances. This all helps avoid difficult situations as far as time is concerned. This show of respect will
also command respect from others. Someone who shows, over and over, that they are the master of their time is someone who will be taken seriously
in areas far removed from time management. That foresight and adaptability that gets you where you need to be, when you need to be there, tells the
people around you that you can handle whatever is thrown at you. When it comes to the military certain things are automatically expected of a person.
One of the most important expectations is time management and being on time. Every day there are any number of places a soldier is required to be
at a certain time and as the old saying goes, "if you're not fifteen minutes early, you're late no matter the situation." Some soldiers understand the
importance of showing up fifteen minutes prior to an event or scheduled activity. To others, it makes no sense at all. Extreme as it may sound, when

Essay on Accountability in Army
A Soldier's Accountability A soldier of the United States Army has many values that are set forth in the "Soldier's Creed." The Soldier's Creed
states: I am an American Soldier. I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values. I will
always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I am disciplined, physically and
mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself. I am an expert and I am
a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat. I am a guardian of...show more

It could be argued that the Soldier's Creed deals with many different forms of accountability. In general, the purpose of accountability is placing
responsibility on someone expecting them to take ownership and maintain the same values that were asked of them. So, how does accountability
pertain to the United States Army? The military gives the definition of accountability as the obligation imposed by law or lawful order or regulation on
an officer or other person for keeping accurate record of property, documents, or funds. The United States Army has instated regulations to govern
accountability and to define security concerns that may come with failed accountability. AR 190–11 states: Individuals issued arms are responsible for
their security at all times. Each issued weapon will be carried on the person at all times. Weapons will not be entrusted to the custody of another
person. Pistols will be secured with a lanyard. AR 190–16 defines: That part of security concerned with physical measures designed to safeguard
personnel, to prevent unauthorized access to equipment, installations, material, and documents and to safeguard them against espionage, sabotage,
damage, and theft. A lot of the main structure of the Army is placed on accountability. For instance, leadership's accountability of where a soldier is at
any given time, or a

Essay on Accountability
This essay will be about the importance of keeping the accountability of sensitive items. The US Army values soldiers that are accountable for their
actions. The accountability of sensitive items affects the unit in many ways. AR 710–2 and AR 735–5 both cover the Army policy for property
accountability. Some sensitive items are your weapon, military ID card, commo equipment, etc. Sensitive items are anything that can be used by
opposing forces or the enemy to counter attack, weaken forces, and gain intel, and so on. People will sometimes get relaxed (complacent) or
forgettable while not currently in a mission. If this happens it is very dangerous due to the fact that enemies are able to obtain any and possibly all of
your sensitive items...show more content...
Your Military Identification Card holds a lot of information not only about you but also about your family. If lost or stolen you will not be able to
access your AKO account and you could also get denied access to parts of your Army installation. I have been told that losing your CAC card will
result in a Article 15.Your military ID card holds ways to access many military installations, and military websites which are only accessible with a
CAC card. This could cause an international incident because my CAC could have been used to allow malicious persons access to a military base,
access that could enable them to plant weapons and bombs for insurgents to use against us. I would be horrified if I found out that my CAC had
been used by hostile persons to replicate the template for military identification cards. Your communication equipment, radios, daggers, and SKL are
all sensitive items. If they fall into the wrong hands the enemy can tap in or decrypt our radio transmissions. Losing Commo equipment can be a
fatal mistake to you, your unit, and/or coalition forces. I am responsible for maintaining accountability for everything I have signed for. This means
that I am to know where everything is, and ensuring that it is also secure at all times. I should also be more cautious with Sensitive items such as my
weapon, CAC card, Body Armor, Kevlar, NBC Mask and so on. These are not

Accountability Essays
The Importance of Accountability As a soldier of the world's most powerful military force, the U.S Army, it is imperative that I demonstrate
competence, efficiency, and professionalism at all times. To achieve this goal accountability is an absolute necessity. As a soldier I must maintain
constant accountability of my equipment and my team. Without constant visual and/or physical security of my equipment I would be making it too
easy for the enemy to take my equipment and use it against me and my fellow soldiers. Without accountability of my fellow soldiers I put them as well
as myself in danger. If I don't know where my team is it is impossible to come to their aid if needed and vice versa. That being said it is a key part in

Accountability affects your everyday life without you even realizing it. At this point in our lives it is no longer a job but a part of life and a sign
of responsibility. Another sign of maturity is holding yourself accountable for your own actions. If you are one of those people who goes around
making excuses for everything you do, people will begin to lose faith in you, and in turn you will not only lose your credibility but their trust as
well. After a certain point excuses become less relevant or believable and you are seen and/or treated as if you were lying. No leader likes the "It
wasn't my fault", "I was gonna", or "see what had happened was" guy/gal and you shouldn't want to be him/her. It is always better to hold yourself
accountable for your own actions, you will gain a lot more respect that way. Once again accountability plays a major role in the quality of your
everyday life and the lives of those around you as well. Good accountability or a lack of accountability can mean the difference in somebody
getting paid the right amount or even at all. It could be the difference of receiving a tax refund or paying the state more than what you owe. It could
be your children returning safely from a field trip or sending out an ABB or Amber Alert. It could even mean the life or death of a friend whether
you're deployed or just downtown having a drink. Nobody knows how a lack of

The Concept of Accountability Essay
Accountability is a subject that ranges through every spectrum of life. From simply knowing your food supply by opening the refrigerator, to
knowing the exact amount of ammunition a military convoy has at its disposal, down to each individual round. When we know what the situation is,
and hold each person responsible for they're actions in the situation, that is the concept of accountability at its root. If we are not to hold each other
responsible for each of our own actions and choices then we will never be able to correct problems and concerns, which will make us fail as a whole
because the smallest individual action can account for the gravest of concequences. In this essay I'm going to show how important accountability is in

– Webster's Unabridged Dictionary The defenition given by the Oxford Dictionary of the US Military may seem as if it only takes into account those
in leadership positions and billets but that is not the case when it applies to everyday occurances. The ones who personally handle the weaponry,
update/alter documents, use funds, and ultimately carry out the orders from above are the primary foundation of the pyramid of accountability. If the
person who is in charge of the task, property, document of funds has to pass on these tasks to the people who are actually going to use it then the
responsability of accountability in regards to those things becomes temporarly the full responsability of the bearer. He/she must keep the person in
charge of him informed of any and all significant changes, especially those that were not predetermined, because those are the situations that are not
covered by standard protical and the person in charge must be informed so as to set a protical, temporary or permanent, for that situation. If the bearer
of the responsability does not inform his superior then he will have to take the consequences of they're actions, as stated by the Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary definition. From the point the account has been passed to the superior, however, the full responsability again returns to him who

Accountability in Nursing
Introduction Responsibility is defined as the "reliability, dependability, and the obligation to accomplish work", responsibility also includes each
person's obligation to perform at an acceptable level, the level that the person has been educated (Kelly–Heidenthal, 2003, p. 268). Accountability is
defined as, "being responsible and liable for actions or failure of actions of oneself or others in the context of delegation" (NCSBN, 2009). This is in
reference to the nurse's legal liability for the actions taken and patient outcomes. Accountability and responsibility are different, as responsibility
belongs to the person doing the task and accountability belongs to the person who assigned the task. The nurse is both accountable for the...show more

This is the legal liability the practitioner owes to the patient. By accepting the responsibility to perform a task the practitioner must ensure the task is
performed competently at least to the standard of the ordinarily competent practitioner in that type of task. If a practitioner such as a registered
nurse should delegate a task, then that practitioner must be sure that the delegation is appropriate. This means that the task must be necessary; and
the person performing the delegated task, for example a HCA, must understand the task and how it is performed, have the skills and abilities to
perform the task competently and accept responsibility for carrying it out One common mistakes exhibited by professionals in the field is delegation
of duties by persons. Nurses should be wary of delegating duties to health care assistant because nurses should be aware of the abilities of the person
with whom he or she is delegating duties. This is to minimize any chance of poor service delivery. Poor patient attendance by a person tasked with the
duty at the time of delivery will extend the liability to the nurse delegating duties. Accountability of nurses is clearly pinpointed and well within the
realm of law. A nurse is accountable to all the patients he or she is expected to attend to. Such accountability as underlined by common law helps
promote safety of all patients. Accountability to the profession is one other important aspect that provides an

Essay On Accountability
I am in a unique and fortunate position as co–owner of my organization. My role encompasses many areas from administrative, financial all the way to
facilities management. My "felt responsibility" is very strong as I have much at stake in a very personal and emotional manner. Our organization's
name is Reddy Medical Group, which carries my name. This in itself brings be much pride, however, along with this, tremendous responsibility. In
the small community that we serve, our reputation is of immense gravity to me. The difference in the term accountability to felt responsibility lies in
this feeling that cannot be bought. Accountability is a way to cover yourself and/or defend yourself so that you cannot be held liable. In my case, I
would be where the "buck stops" and feel not only accountable but truly and ultimately responsible. I have grown with our organization over the past
30 plus years, therefore, creating processes and protocols as I needed with our growth. In areas where I lacked knowledge within the health care
industry, I educated myself. I learn from courses, research or from questioning experts on the subject....show more content...

Military Accountability Essay

  • 1. Military Accountability Essay Being late does not make one important. Tardiness is a very unattractive quality when it comes to most aspects of one's life: family functions, meetings, interviews, and especially a job. While a family may forgive tardiness, a job will not. Being late once or twice in one's life is unavoidable. Being consistently tardy makes one unreliable and shows a lack of respect for other people's time and obligations. Being late tells others that one person can be waited on, while everyone else can't. People do not like when their feelings were not taken into consideration, when they took the time to consider others. Punctuality is a very important part of military life for several reasons. one reason is that if someone is late for a patrol ...show more content... What could have been done the night before? Punctuality is a habit. It's a matter of creating the routine and sticking with the routine. Punctual people will be winners everywhere and will be one step ahead of the others. Planning ahead will contribute to being punctual, less stress, and the ability to navigate around unforeseen circumstances. This all helps avoid difficult situations as far as time is concerned. This show of respect will also command respect from others. Someone who shows, over and over, that they are the master of their time is someone who will be taken seriously in areas far removed from time management. That foresight and adaptability that gets you where you need to be, when you need to be there, tells the people around you that you can handle whatever is thrown at you. When it comes to the military certain things are automatically expected of a person. One of the most important expectations is time management and being on time. Every day there are any number of places a soldier is required to be at a certain time and as the old saying goes, "if you're not fifteen minutes early, you're late no matter the situation." Some soldiers understand the importance of showing up fifteen minutes prior to an event or scheduled activity. To others, it makes no sense at all.

I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

I am a guardian of...show more content... It could be argued that the Soldier's Creed deals with many different forms of accountability. In general, the purpose of accountability is placing responsibility on someone expecting them to take ownership and maintain the same values that were asked of them. So, how does accountability pertain to the United States Army? The military gives the definition of accountability as the obligation imposed by law or lawful order or regulation on an officer or other person for keeping accurate record of property, documents, or funds.

No leader likes the "It wasn't my fault", "I was gonna", or "see what had happened was" guy/gal and you shouldn't want to be him/her. It is always better to hold yourself accountable for your own actions, you will gain a lot more respect that way.
