What are the three attributes of the Army Leader Requirements Model?

• A. Character, Presence, Intellect
• B. Courage, Discipline, Honor
• C. Integrity, Loyalty, Accountability
• D. Vision, Adaptability, Communication

Answer: (A)

The Army Leader Requirements Model is built around three attributes: Character, Presence, and Intellect. Character covers values, ethics, and accountability—what guides a leader to do the right thing and earn trust. Presence is how a leader carries themselves and interacts with others—military bearing, confidence, resilience, and the ability to communicate effectively under pressure. Intellect involves judgment, critical thinking, learning, and adaptability—the mental skills needed to analyze situations, make sound decisions, and grow as a leader. These three together describe what a leader is, how they act, and how they think. Other traits like courage, discipline, or integrity are important, but they’re individual qualities rather than the three-part framework the model uses.
