Without having accountability there is no knowledge Accountability is very important because it allows for your chain of command to know where you are at at the moment..

It is also important because it tells the unit commanders how many personnel are available to perform certain tasks.

If a leader does not know how many troops are available then he/she will not know who is available to do what.Gear/equipment is also to be accounted for to have the "readiness" numbers and to make sure that the enemy is not getting a hold of your gear.Everything must be accounted for, from food, to rounds, to troops, to vehicles, to fuel, etc etc.

It is very crucial; to know what is available at all times..LOGISTICS.

Disciplin and acountablity to your unit is important so they know where you are and that you are safe and the military is run off disciplin with out it we wouldnt be the greatest military in the history of the world.

I Pride myself on being a soldier that is accountable for his actions at all times. The reason for this essay is, I did not follow proper orders and was not at my correct place of duty for work call, due to miscommunication through higher, but there is still no excuse for me to be undisciplined and not informing my chain. A soldier should be at right place and right time as soldier. There are many reasons why you should be at your place of duty at the right time as a soldier. The most important reason being the soldier's safety and accountability. That's why it's implemented by the NCO's appointed over them. NCO's tells you that you need to be at a location, on time; therefore you need to be there.

Me missing a formation could have had a much worst punishment. A counseling statement and the punishment i have recieved already. I have learned my lesson for my actions already and will prevent this issue from coming up again. Me being an EOD Tech, I hold myself to bigger standards than everyone else in the military.

This shows structure in soldiers in and the soldiers' unit. As soldiers there are daily missions that call for them to be at the right place and right time. It's not a good look on a soldier when they can't do a simple task such right place and right time. This actually shows that the soldier can't be depended on when they are needed. This hinders a soldier when they are being look at for any promotions or special awards. As a soldier you want to make a great impression on leaders and not being able to make it on time is not acceptable. It would make things run much smoother when solders are at the appropriate place of duty on time all the time. If no one is at the right place and right time it sets the mission back.Accountability, being at the appropriate place of duty and punctuality are the hallmarks if not the key elements of being a successful professional
