What is AR 600-20 primarily about?

• A. The Army Awards program
• B. Army command policy
• C. The Army physical fitness test
• D. Army civilian employee guidelines

Answer: (B)

AR 600-20 is about Army Command Policy. It establishes how commanders lead, maintain good order and discipline, and ensure fair and respectful treatment of all Soldiers and civilian employees. It sets the responsibilities of commanders to set the right climate, enforce standards, and handle issues such as equal opportunity, harassment, and conduct within the chain of command. This regulation focuses on how authority is exercised at the top and how everything in the Army environment should be conducted to support a professional, disciplined force. The other topics—like the Army Awards program, the Army physical fitness test, or civilian employee guidelines—are governed by different regulations, not AR 600-20.
