    SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

    1000 DEFENSE PENTAGON


    WASHINGTON , DC 20301-1000

    MEMORANDUM FOR ALL MILITARY PERSONNEL AND DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


    EMPLOYEES

    SUBJECT: Reaffirming Our Commitment to Ethical Conduct

    All ofus in the Department of Defense enjoy the highest trust and confidence of the
    American people because we live by core values grounded in duty and honor that influence how
    we think and act. The decisions that we make every day must reaffirm our commitment to
    ethical conduct - doing what is right, without hesitation.

    The threats we face, the character of warfare, and the way the Department conducts
    business are evolving. Our National Defense Strategy focuses our efforts in an increasingly
    complex global security environment, and ethics is integral to our three lines of effort. Ethical
    leadership that builds principled, self-disciplined teams strengthens readiness and improves
    lethality. Our shared ethical values strengthen alliances and attract new partners. Ethics-based
    standards and accountability are fundamental to business reforms, and to keeping faith with our
    Service Members and their families.

    A commitment to exemplary ethics must be a personal creed. I expect every member of


    the Department to continue to aim beyond compliance with basic standards. As leaders,
    teammates, and colleagues, we must inspire each other by setting an example, rejecting any
    sense of personal entitlement, and never abusing our position or our privilege of service. We
    must be willing to choose the harder virtue over the easier vice.

    Each ofus takes a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution. The Department's
    mission imparts a special responsibility on each of us to serve with the utmost integrity and be
    vigilant in protecting the duties and confidences with which we have been entrusted.

    To ensure we are ready to do what is right when ethical dilemmas arise, we must train
    and prepare ourselves. As such, I expect Department leaders to be personally involved in
    training their organizations. Talk about examples of ethical decision-making, good and bad.
    Make these conversations a natural part of your meetings and engagement with your personnel.
    Create an open, transparent environment that reinforces values-based decision-making and
    action. And always treat everyone with dignity and respect.

    I am proud of the great work our Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen, and civilians do
    each and every day around the globe. Stay focused on your mission, remain steadfast in your
    pursuit of excellence, and always travel the honorable path. Together, we will remain the most
    ready and capable military force that our Nation expects and deserves.
