A new U.S. Army regulation (PDF) “updates the definition of leadership and introduces the concept of the Pentathlete.”
The regulation identifies various aspects and levels of leadership, describes the warrior ethos and its place in Army culture, and discusses the responsibility of leaders and how they are trained.
Pentathletes in this context “are multi-skilled, innovative, adaptive, and situationally aware professionals who demonstrate character in everything that they do, are experts in the profession of arms, personify the warrior ethos in all aspects from war fighting to statesmanship to enterprise management, and boldly confront uncertainty and solve complex problems.”
See “Army Leadership,” Army Regulation AR 600-100, March 8, 2007.
