On the Need for a State Defense Force Noncommissioned Officer Council

Abstract

The State Defense Force (SDF) organization is based on the cadre concept, where the staff is composed of senior officers and noncommissioned officers (NCOs), and specialists in those areas within its mission portfolio. While the officers are involved in command, mission design, operation -- within the guidelines established by the Adjutant General (TAG) -- and training requirements, the NCOs form the basis for conducting the training required to execute the mission. This establishes the need for consistent training standards for basic skills across the SDF elements, the companies, battalions, regiments, and specialty corps. The NCO Council proposed herein provides those standards based on Headquarters Operations and Training guidelines for the element NCOs to use in training and mission preparation. NCO leadership is the key to the entire process.
