NCO Road to Advancement

Abstract

The Armys technological advances and transformation demands that action be taken in order to enhance the promotion system of its future NCO Corps to operate effectively in an Asymmetric warfare environment. Irregular warfare promises to increase over the next 10 years with threats that are more spread out and more difficult to overcome than any other conflicts in past history. Based on these new emerging threats, we must modernize our promotion system to select future NCOs who are better prepared to deal with both conventional and irregular warfare. Its critical that the Army selects and promotes a balance future NCO Corps with a culture that is capable and prepared to conduct full spectrum of operations into the 21st Century.
