Are we Teaching Senior Noncommissioned Officers What they Really Need to Know?

Abstract

The aim of this project is to determine if the SNCO Academy is meeting its purpose. This determination will be made by an analysis of data supplied by the Air University and the Senior NCO Academy. Senior Noncommissioned Officers have been part of the USAF for about 30 years. These Senior NCOs were and are an extension of the NCO corps and they took a portion of officer positions and responsibilities. Are we educating these individuals to adequately carry out their duties? This report concludes there are two major areas where senior NCO Professional Military Education is falling short; Communicative Skills and Leadership and Management.
