Additional objectives have been established by the service departments of the Department of Defense such as:
Developing citizenship and patriotism,

Improving the ability to communicate well both orally and in writing,
Developing an appreciation of the importance of physical fitness,
Increasing a respect for the role of the U.S. Armed Forces in support of national objectives,
