Doctrine is the
body of principles that set the moral or ethical standard,
and forms the foundation of judgment, mode of action, decision,
and behavior. It is authoritative but flexible, definitive
enough to guide specific operation, yet adaptable enough to
address diverse and varied situations.
Purpose...To create an organization guided
by well stated doctrinal principles, which represent the
reality of the work, the environment, and the mission. They
are understood and meaningful to every employee and the
public at large, and are the heart of safe and effective
mission accomplishment.
"I am therefore committing
us to move toward a point where we anchor our actions and
decisions to a well-understood doctrine.”
