The Bataan Peninsula during World War II: NCOs Made the Difference

Abstract

The Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) on the Bataan Peninsula made the difference between life and death for many soldiers during World War II. From the initial attack by the Japanese to the Bataan Death March, the NCOs made the difference. The discipline, dedication to duty, and leadership during this horrific time in history set the example for all NCOs to emulate. The example set by these great NCOs displayed true leadership, the Army values, and the leadership attributes that all NCOs should possess.
