Integrity is defined as

• A. Following orders without question.
• B. Doing what is right, both legally and morally.
• C. Never admitting mistakes.
• D. Always pleasing leadership.

Answer: (B)

Integrity means doing what is right, both legally and morally, even when no one is watching. It combines honesty, accountability, and adherence to standards, including owning up to mistakes and making things right. It isn’t about following orders without question or pleasing leadership at the expense of doing what’s correct; those paths can conflict with what is legally and ethically right. In Army and Ordnance practice, integrity is the foundation for trust and responsible action, guiding decisions under pressure and ensuring actions align with laws, regulations, and ethical norms. A practical example is reporting a safety concern or admitting and correcting an error rather than concealing it.
