I am writing this essay because I did not bring my ACH to the motor pool when I have been told by my sergeant many times to do so. You should always bring your ACH to the motor pool whenever you go because you will never know when you will need it. Your sergeant could ask you to test drive any of your vehicles that your squad owns. If you can’t test drive any vehicles because you did not bring your ACH to the motor pool, then that make you and your sergeant look bad in front of others because you did not follow directions that your sergeant has given you.
Following orders is very important. There are many reasons why a soldier should follow the orders they are given and every single one is important. An order is a tasking given to a soldier of something that needs to be done in a timely and efficient manner. The three main reasons why it is important for a soldier to follow the orders they are given is to be combat effective, disciplined, and to just be a good soldier.
When a soldier doesn’t follow the orders they are given in not only hurts themselves but it hurts the team and the goals of the mission. If a soldier doesn’t follow orders this makes them combat ineffective and when a one single soldier in a unit is combat ineffective this slows down the progress of making the leaders deal with a soldier who can’t help with the workload of the unit. A soldier must execute an order quickly and to the standard.
