History:
The noncommissioned officer provides the essential link between the Army’s commanders and its men and women. To discharge this r responsibility successfully. the NCO has always found it necessary to perform several important functions simultaneously. The NCO must, first of all, be a small unit leader. whether that unit is an infantry squad moving against an enemy-held position. a maintenance section in the rear. or a clerical staff at a corps headquarters.
Successful leadership in turn demands excellence in many tasks. All NCOs must know themselves and their troops. They must be both tactically and technically proficient. They must understand mission requirements and communicate them clearly. making sound and timely decisions. They must always set a good example. And finally. they must take responsibility for unit performance.
