3-6. Suicide PreventionEveryone has the power and responsibility to protect Soldiers on and off the battlefield. This includes recognizing uncharacteristic and suicidal behaviors. 
Effective suicide prevention requires everyone in the unit to be aware of the risk factors for suicide and know how to respond. Commanders, NCOs, supervisors and battle buddies must lead the way. If a Soldier seems suicidal, the time to take action is NOW. Talk to the Soldier before it is too late.
Distress can lead to the development of unhealthy behaviors. People closest to the Soldier (fellow Soldiers, Family, friends) are in the best position to recognize changes due to distress and to provide support. Look For:
3-7. The Soldier’s Creed and Warrior EthosThe Soldier's Creed addresses the set of principles that all Soldiers strive to emulate. It captures the essence of what it means to be a Soldier. The Warrior Ethos—within the Soldier’s Creed—describes a Soldier’s selfless commitment to the nation, the mission, and fellow Soldiers. All Soldiers are warriors—prepared, trained and fully equipped for war. Soldiers destroy the enemy in close combat, resolve conflict, and then restore the peace. They are also part of a team, bound to each other by integrity and trust. As Soldiers, you will always be under some level of physical and mental stress, regardless of your rank or specialty. Living by the Soldier’s Creed and Warrior Ethos provides the inner strength and motivation you need to continue performing your duty and executing your mission. The Soldier’s Creed I am an American Soldier. I am a warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values. I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade. I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my Warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself. I am an expert and I am a professional. I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat. I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life. I am an American Soldier. 3-8.
