Victory in war can only be achieved through the power of unity; the essence of unity lies in everyone coming together with a single mind and will, integrating and focusing all capabilities to achieve common goals based on a spirit of lawfulness, self-sacrifice, clear distinction between public and private matters, and mutual understanding; therefore, all military units shall unite firmly around their commanders in honor of the traditions and dignity symbolized by military discipline;
