Military Oath And Mobilization

Decision Points

• Before engaging enemy forces, assess whether conditions favor victory
• If allies are not fully committed, consider delaying engagement
• Evaluate whether the political timing is right for decisive action

Expected Outcomes

• Unified military force with clear chain of command
• Troops understand expectations and consequences
• Enhanced morale through ritual and clarity

Validation

1. Confirm symbols of authority (黄钺, 白旄) are properly displayed and delegated military authority is visibly established
2. Verify that consequences for non-compliance are clearly announced and understood by all troops (e.g., 後至者斩)
3. Check that strategic assessment is completed before engagement — enemy conditions, allied commitment, and political timing are all evaluated
