ADA Advanced Leader Course (ALC) Module B Practice Test

The three components of the Army Leadership Requirements Model are Character, Presence, and Intellectual capacity. Character covers values and ethical behavior—doing the right thing, accountability, and moral courage, which lay the foundation for trust. Presence refers to how a leader carries themselves and interacts with others—builds trust through confidence, military bearing, communication, and the ability to inspire and lead under stress. Intellectual encompasses judgment, critical thinking, knowledge of the profession, and the ability to analyze complex situations and make sound, innovative decisions.

This combination is the standard framework for defining effective leadership in the Army. The other options pull from different concepts: Loyalty, Duty, and Respect come from the Army Values; Strategy, Tactics, and Logistics are warfighting functions; and Integrity, Courage, and Discipline are important traits but not the three components of the leadership model.
