“Well-being is Commander’s Business” “Commanders and other leaders committed to the professional Army ethic promote a positive environment. If leaders show loyalty to their Soldiers, the Army, and the Nation, they earn the loyalty of their Soldiers. If leaders consider their Soldiers’ needs and care for their well-being, and if they demonstrate genuine concern, these leaders build a positive command climate.” Army Regulation 600-20
