It was determined that a separate culture had developed amongst non-combat arms troops (one that embraced the specialist skill at the expense of the basic soldier skills). As I'm sure all will note, an ethos/motto isn't the path to changing a culture... real change in initial entry, advanced individual, unit and PME is necessary - and the Army has made those types of changes in addition to the adoption of the Warrior Ethos.
I'm glad this was identified as an issue and appreciate the steps taken to correct it, for sure. I'm not sure that requiring an extra plastic dog tag and a credit card-sized reminder of this creed has changed anyone's actual conduct in the midst of battle, though.
