NCO counseling
1. Responsibilities: As a noncommissioned officer, you are expected to adhere to and conduct yourself professionally in all facets of your unit’s mission, in both tactical operations and garrison support.
2. I expect you to carry yourself as a professional and treat your soldiers, as you would want to be treated. Your two priorities will remain the welfare of your soldiers and the accomplishment of the mission. I cannot stress to you the importance of soldier care. Set the example and inspire your soldiers to achieve superior results on and off duty in all they endeavor.
3. Training. There are three factors that affect a unit’s combat effectiveness. These factors are considered the most critical elements of a unit’s capabilities. They are training, maintenance, and readiness. You are responsible for training the Soldiers under your supervision. This includes scheduled and unscheduled events, both collective and individual tasks. Training that is well planned, fully resourced, and well conducted will make your Soldiers more proficient, effective, and confident. When directed to train, prepare innovative lessons that use all available resources. Hands-on training under direct supervision with realistic objectives is the standard. Don’t ignore what you don’t know. Learn new tasks and equipment as soon as they become available to you. Seek out the subject matter experts and pass the knowledge you gain on to your Soldiers.
4. Maintenance. Maintenance is often difficult for Soldiers to master. You are responsible for maintaining the vehicles, radios, weapons, NBC equipment, and individual equipment assigned to you and your team, squad, section or platoon. You must instill a sense of responsibility in your Soldiers for the equipment they use and are assigned. Responsibility for property includes barracks and furnishings. Ensure every effort is made to refit equipment in a timely manner when returning from field training exercises,
