Socialization in the military

Military socialization is the process by which individuals learn and adapt to the values, norms, and expectations of military culture. It involves training, instruction, and daily interactions that instill discipline, teamwork, and a sense of purpose. This process helps recruits understand their roles, responsibilities, and the importance of hierarchy and protocol within the armed forces. Through socialization, individuals develop a shared identity and commitment, aligning personal values with military standards to ensure effective unit cohesion and operational effectiveness.
