Which are the three Air Force core values that guide officership?

• A. Integrity First; Service Before Self; Excellence In All We Do
• B. Honor, Courage, Commitment
• C. Excellence, Duty, Respect
• D. Integrity, Service, Excellence

Answer: (A)

Integrity First; Service Before Self; Excellence In All We Do are the Air Force's official core values that guide officership. Integrity First emphasizes doing the right thing and being honest and trustworthy in every action, even when no one is watching. Service Before Self means putting the mission and teammates' welfare above personal interests, showing discipline and selflessness. Excellence In All We Do pushes leaders to pursue high standards, continuous improvement, and accountability for results. These three together shape ethical decisions, leadership behavior, and professional accountability for officers. The other options don’t reflect the official Air Force triad—one mirrors Navy/Marine values, another mixes terms not used together as the Air Force trio, and the last omits the exact wording and combination.
