What this publication covers
AR 600-100 addresses the Army profession and leadership policy. It places responsibilities and an overview of Army leadership in an administrative policy framework, including Soldiers and Army Civilians. Readers looking for who is responsible for leader development should distinguish this regulation from the foundational doctrinal discussion in ADP 6-22 and the development methods in FM 6-22.
Use the responsibilities section to understand the institutional and organizational roles involved. For a team development conversation, connect the regulation with doctrine and feedback techniques rather than treating policy language as a ready-made counseling script. Evaluation reports are governed by their own policy and preparation references. This guide helps select the right layer of guidance before a leader discusses development, professional expectations, or a unit program; it does not assign a rating or assess an individual's suitability for a role.
