Academic Skills of U.S. Army Non-Commissioned Officers

Abstract

At the request of the Commander, Training and Doctrine Command, ARI researchers administered test to soldiers attending Noncommissioned Officers (NCO) Academies at TRADOC sites in order to determine their academic skills levels. On the average, these soldiers read at the 11.0 grade level and perform at the 9.9 grade grade level in mathematics. These findings will become part of ARI's research program concerning academic skills of NCOs and can be used by the TRADOC Commander to make decisions about basic skills training programs for NCOs. Keywords: Academic competencies, Army personnel, Army training, Education. (sdw)
