The Sociology of the Army Noncommissioned Officer: A Preliminary Assessment

Abstract

The working assumption of this paper is that noncommissioned officers (NCOs), theoretically as well as substantively, are worthy of study separate from professional soldiers and enlisted men. This report contains mainly tabular data. An examination of the available statistical data highlights significant social and demographic trends in the NCO corps. Major findings include changes in the percentages of enlisted members, black NCOs, and female NCOs, time to promotion to NCO status, and data concerning marriage and children (sdw)
