Professionalism is inconceivable without adherence to ethics. Conversely, adherence to ethics is only possible if ethical values are recognized and the process of ethical decision-making is un derstood. Every profession has its own distinct sphere of activity within which professional identity is developed and morality is applied. The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of ethical communication among members of the military, as well as the necessity of commu nicative responsibility, particularly within the realm of public discourse. Through an analysis of professional identity, the paper underscores the fundamental role of morality in shaping the professional identity of mili tary personnel. Professional identity can be explained through three per spectives of identity: the macro, the mezzo, and the micro perspective. In the descriptive analysis, by applying an analytical approach, the au thor seeks to demonstrate that the micro perspective of identity, together with professionalism, forms the foundation of the professional identity of military personnel. Regarding public discourse, the author argues that ethical education can serve as a valuable tool in the development of the professional identity of military employees. From this standpoint, the author concludes that ethical education represents one of the key com ponents in safeguarding the honour and integrity of military personnel, while also strengthening the integrity and credibility of institutions.
