In September 2012, the Department of the Army published new
capstone doctrine, Army Doctrine Publication 1 (ADP 1), The Army,
in which the concept of military professionalism occupies an
especially prominent place. Coinciding with the release of The
Army, the Chief of Staff declared that 2013 features a focus on
professionalism; entitled "America's Army-Our Profession," in an
effort to better understand the idea of military professionalism.
Military history can and should contribute to an understanding of
American military professionalism. Investigating the nature of
professionalism in the officer corps serving during President
George Washington's administration, the central argument of this
study is that early Army leaders demonstrated a particularly
American style of military professionalism. The early officer corps
grappled with the same elements described by the Army's current
doctrine as fundamentally characteristic of military
professionalism: trust, expertise, service, esprit and stewardship.
Understanding the strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and
limitations of the early officer corps' approach to professionalism
in light of these five key characteristics provides important
background and a useful conceptual framework to more fully
understand the American military tradition and today's doctrine
concerning military professionalism.
