The Empowerment of the NCO

Abstract

The evolution of war fighting capabilities and the increasing responsibilities of the American Noncommissioned Officer is one of the most important factors in studying the capabilities and limitations of our Soldiers and the enemies we face today and in the future. There have been several books written about NCOs and the history of the NCO that will support this view. In todays Army the training and education of our NCOs is a top priority compared to several years ago where it was mostly non existent. NCOs are the foundation of our force, in the Army today they have more responsibilities and are more educated than they were in previous wars. I will define these responsibilities and compare it to the responsibilities of NCOs during previous wars.
