The United States Army must develop and train its officers into leaders capable of winning our nation’s wars without losing the trust and confidence of the soldiers that they lead. There is an immediate need for the establishment of dedicated Aviation Branch Officer Career Management Teams (OCMT) at the Brigade and Battalion level within the Army’s Combat Aviation Brigades (CABs) to ensure the Army’s officers are being developed to the fullest extent possible. To date, the Army has failed in that endeavor.…
On the following paragraph I am explaining the important of a Marine NCO and the role they play on the battle field. Truth out the history of the Marine Corps, The NCO always plays a key role in the military. There are the people that trained, guide, lead the junior Marines in all task or mission. They’re the ones that execute and supervise all tasks on the missions while maintaining control and discipline on the troops. Without the Marine NCO the main body of the Marine Corps will be in disarray and the officers will have a hard time running the operations.…

It is very important to respond to Non Commission Officers because they are the back bone of the marine corps and there would be no marine corps if it wasnt for the non comission officers. I have been tought everything i know about the marine corps from ncos . Also ncos have the hardest jobs in the marine corps ,like being a drill instructor or a squad leader. They also have to be the best leaders and the most inform about any situation. Most of the time ncos know more than officers do. Marine corps Non-Commissioned Officers have tales of their combat experiences have become the stuff of legends. NCOs are the Corporals and Sergeants responsible for the lives of their men in combat. Also they must be leaders of men, but also much more. They carry with them the traditions of duty and dedication to their mission. There is a creed that every NCO lives by. the creed is" I am an NCO dedicated to training new Marines and influencing the old. I am forever conscious of each Marine under my charge, and by example will inspire him to the highest standards possible. I will strive to be patient, understanding, just, and firm. I will commend the deserving and encourage the wayward. I will never forget that I am responsible to my Commanding Officer for the morale, discipline, and efficiency of my men. Their performance will reflect an image of me. " this creed is very important ,its how th marine corps is ran because the marine corps is pracrtically ran by these ncos. Ncos have also been responsible for victoys in many major battles. Tradition holds that in the Battle of Chapultepec in 1847, Marine NCOs sustained an unusually high casualty rate during this battle. In 1849, uniform regulations dictated that the stripes be changed to a solid red. Ten years later, a red cord was inserted into the outer seams for non commissioned officers and in 1904, the simple red stripe seen today was adopted. The marine corps uniforms would not be the same if it wasnt for the Non…
The Non-Commissioned-Officer is often referred to as the backbone of the Marine Corps. They are the primary and most visible leaders for most military personnel. They are the leaders mostly responsible for executing missions and training junior Marines so that they are also prepared to execute the missions and so they too can train the Marines they will have under them in the future. NCO’s have earned respect and their rank and should never be disrespected or talked back to. They were given their rank for a reason because they are trusted to take charge of Marines under them and set them up for success.…
The modern Marine Non Commissioned Officer (NCO) is the embodiment of the Marine Corps history tradition for several reasons. Some of the reasons are because NCO’s are taught to follow the traditions of the past. They know that trust and respect is equally important from both the NCO to his subordinates, and from his subordinates. They also still have the same responsibility as they did in the past. There are more reasons but these are the ones I chose to talk about because I’ve noticed them the most.…
Marine Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) have always been a crucial part in fighting America’s war. They distinguished themselves by taking on the responsibility to train their inexperienced Marines, and for accepting the challenge of command when platoon commanders were casualties. Small unit leadership played a key role in victory especially during the invasion of Inchon on September 15, 1950.…
The modern Marine NCO is the embodiment of the Corp’s history and traditions because we are the back bone of the Marine Corps. We are the small unit leaders and through our strive, motivation and dedication, I believe its our duty to pass on the knowledge to our junior Marines as many other NCO’s have and are doing today. We do this by carrying the tradition of making sure the the history and traditions are still being remembered and enforced by taking the initiative and time to learn about our history and traditions first; if we know nothing or very little about our traditions and history, we would not be able to pass on any knowledge. As an NCO you are the first “teacher”, mentor, and example to junior Marines. It all starts from the first day you take Marines under your charge; the way you act around your Marines, when showing common courtesies is another way we keep our traditions going. Lastly, the modern NCO’s are taught to follow the traditions and history of the past and; therefore, we have to continue to do the same. In the following I will further explain in greater detail about why I chose these reasons.…

The Non-Commissioned Officers are the backbone of the United States Marine Corps. This is an punctual statement thats helps show the functioning of the Marine Corps today.

A Non-Commissioned Officer is a highly respected role in the Army and those in that role demand respect, and deserve it. To become an NCO you have to be doing something right. You are getting looked at as doing above and beyond your peers. As an NCO you are the one setting the standard, you have soldiers looking up to you, seniors looking down at you and even your peers watching you and judging every move you make. To be an NCO is a hard task, a task made ever harder when you have soldiers that disrespect you, disregard what you say or make you look anything but stellar in front of others. If you are wrong you deserve to be called on it, but tactfully especially by a subordinate.…
The Coast Guard’s Chief Petty Officer Academy (CPOA) staff utilize a reap what you sow philosophy in their curriculum. Attending the CPOA enhanced me not only as a person but also as a professional, and was worth the time, money and effort spent to complete the course. The three aspects of CPOA that were most valuable to me were: the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) 360 as part of the Leadership Challenge, the Coaching lesson, and networking with fellow team members and classmates. I am certainly a better person and senior non-commissioned officer (SNCO) having attended the CPOA.…
