Courageous, loyal, and inspirational. These are the qualities of a great leader, and a shieldman captain must have all these qualities before he can consider himself a great leader for the men under his or her command. The most sacred duty of a captain is both the safety and well being of the soldiers, yet another duty is to maintain discipline among the troops which is often made by being a leading example for them to follow. Profession of War. To many families that hold military as a tradition, achieving the rank of a captain is but a simple footstep to higher statures. For the desire of being a high ranking officer is an ever strong thought at their minds, and must be reached and proven worth to hold such responsibility. |
