Higher Expectations: Evolving Staff Non-Commissioned Officer Education

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss why SNCOs should receive more education, review the current courses being taught to SNCOs, and offer three models in which the Marine Corps can evolve in increasing the education of SNCOs. The first model increases the current courses to ten months each. The second model is a 26-week blended resident/non-resident course. The third and preferred model is a ten-week course. Although all three models will require the Marine Corps to increase spending in the education of its Marines, investing in the education of SNCOs will ensure that the Marine Corps remains at the forefront of military superiority in the world.
