In the Army Values acronym LDRSHIP, which value is represented by the letter P?

• A. Personal Courage
• B. Respect
• C. Duty
• D. Honor

Answer: (A)

In the Army Values, each letter stands for a core belief that guides how soldiers act. The letter P represents Personal Courage. This means choosing to face fear, danger, or hardship to do what is right and to carry out the mission, even when it’s uncomfortable or risky. It isn’t about reckless bravado; it’s about having the bravery to uphold standards, speak up when something is wrong or unsafe, and keep pressing forward under pressure. Personal Courage is what enables a soldier to act ethically, protect teammates, and endure challenging conditions while staying true to the mission and the values that bind the force together. Respect, Duty, and Honor are also important values in the same set, but they are not the one denoted by the letter P.
