Core Values

Soldiers of the New Jersey Army National Guard. (Click to Enlarge)The New Jersey Army National Guard (NJARNG) Core Values are the bedrock upon which the entire organization rests. They are the shared system of beliefs that guide the ethical, moral, and professional decisions of the men and women who serve in the Army National Guard. They represent the fundamental tenets that bind us together as an organization and serve to tell the people of the State of New Jersey and indeed the Nation who we are as an organization and what we represent.

The core values delineated below mirror those of the active Army component. This is an important construct, since the NJARNG is increasingly called upon to serve in theaters with our active component counterparts. Sharing an identical set of core values provide a common framework from which all other actions can be accomplished.

The NJARNG Core Values are:
· Loyalty: Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit, and other soldiers.
· Duty: Fulfill your obligations.
· Respect: Treat people, as they should be treated.
· Selfless Service: Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own.
· Honor: Live up to all the Army values.
· Integrity: Do what is right, legally and morally.
· Personal Courage: Face fear, danger, or adversity (Physical or Moral).
