Today’s NCO

NCO VISION

Today’s NCO is an innovative, competent and professional enlisted leader grounded in heritage, values and tradition. Today’s NCO embodies the Warrior Ethos, champions continuous learning and is capable of leading, training and motivating diverse teams. Today’s NCO is an adaptive leader who is proficient in joint and combined expeditionary warfare; continuous-simultaneous full-spectrum operations; and is culturally astute and resilient to uncertain and ambiguous environments.

Today’s NCO must lead by example, train from experience, maintain and enforce standards, take care of Soldiers and adapt to a changing world.

Today’s NCOs are accomplished military professionals who have combined civilian and military educational opportunities to become the Army’s preeminent body of leadership. NCOs are known as the "backbone of the American Army" and are the standard keepers for the military - training, leading, coaching and mentoring Soldiers. They are an invaluable and essential part of the Army.

The NCO Corps provides invaluable service and sacrifice in the line of duty. They continually prove their dedication and their willingness to make great sacrifices on behalf of our Nation.
