Development of a First Sergeant Guidebook
Abstract
A large number of First Sergeants do not have the opportunity to attend the First Sergeant Course. Yet, on the job, these First Sergeants are confronted with a myriad of requirements for which they are not adequately prepared. There are over 4200 First Sergeants in the United States Army. Currently, approximately 300 attend the First Sergeant Course annually. It is anticipated that 600 will attend in the United States and Europe in calendar year 1983; 1200 in 1985. Effective non-resident support must be provided to assist the large number of First Sergeants unable to attend the course. The development of a First Sergeant Guidebook was proposed to address this problem. The Guidebook is comprised of the 55 job aids and annotated indices to guide the inexperienced First Sergeant. This Guidebook will serve both as an aid to uninstructed First Sergeants and as a supplement to the First Sergeant Course, providing a way of supporting academic training in the unit; a link between formal education and on-the-job functioning.
