Don't ever try to memorize a reg - first you won't be able to but also they change so often it is not really worth it. You should know the regs dealing with Uniforms (670-1), Drill (3-21.5), UCMJ, Counseling/Evaluation reports, Awards (600-8?), and Enlisted Promotions

Agreed. Knowing where to look is more important than memorizing every line of every reg.
Other good ones to be familiar with are 600-9, Army Body Composition Program. ADRP 1-02 Terms and Military Symbols. (It’s unfortunate how many soldiers can’t speak the basic Army language).

SPC (Join to see) SGT Joseph Gunderson is correct in that you don't memorize regulations, but know which ones are which. The numbering system is not a haphazard accident. 600 series are all personnel. 350 series are training related. 750 are maintenance related. 735 and 710 series are supply related. 190 series are law enforcement and security related. 220 series are unit organization related. About 70% of RP questions can be answered from 670-1 and it's DA PAM.

Not all publications are regulations. There are field manuals, army doctrine publications, technical manuals, training circulars etc.

If you are in a reserve component, there is always some exception or change especially for personnel related regulations. Read a little further.

One thing to realize: You can't know every regulation, but you should be familiar with and know where to look. For starters, google APD (Army Publishing Directorate). You can find any and all Regs, Pubs, DA/DD Forms, etc., you can think of. To answer your question, though, here is a baseline on what to be familiar with (At your level, to name a few):

AR/DA Pam 670-1 (Wear and Appearance of the Uniform)
ADP 6-22 (Army Leadership)
ATP 6-22.1 (The Counseling Process)
AR 190-13 (THE ARMY PHYSICAL SECURITY PROGRAM)

Here is the link: https://armypubs.army.mil/default.aspx

Another good thing to get familiar with is the MDMP (Military Decision Making Process); How to read and understand OPORDs (Operational Orders).

And, I must compliment you on asking such a question. Us Old Timers rarely get an experience where a young Soldier, such as yourself, ask these types of questions.

That you can fight an article 15. Only once did I ever fight it. A 1Sgt was punishing me for fighting back when he tried some pretty shity things. When he gave me the paper and said I could agree to what he said to do, or get punishment, I actually read the form and realized you could ask for higher up to judge it. So I went with that. Some people that was in the military were some really awful people. But, the ones who looked into what was happening, sided with me, he was demoted, and kicked out. Not all article 15’s are bad.

I wouldn't know the entire reg. I would reccomend knowing what all the major regs are and just learning the regulation. If you know where to look, you can always Control F, what you are looking for. Knowledge is power, know where to look.
