A Report On Ficer Corps

In conclusion, the Marine NCO is to provide guidance, display courage, and influence Marines, young and old. As a Sergeant of Marines I am the liaison between junior Marines and my SNCOs, the Sergeants task is greater than that of any in shaping young Marines. Not only does a Sergeant have to hold himself to the highest standard possible, he must also hold his Marines responsible, because after all he is charged with guiding those Marines not only professionally but also through day to day life. If there is anyone in the Corps you can turn to for advice, guidance, or hard work and determination, it should be the Marine

Individual responsibility as a noncommissioned officer means you are accountable for your personal conduct. Soldiers in the Army have their own responsibilities. For

Because of this inherent hierarchal quality, respect must be established between the ranks to ensure that tactical operations continue to fit within a strategic plan. Additionally, in order to successfully mobilize a military, some sort of structure must be enforced to ensure critical elements such as communication, discipline, and accountability are properly maintained. If hierarchal respect, particularly in the sense of customs and courtesies is not maintained, the effectiveness and efficiency of a military is inhibited. In combat situations, if this respect is not well established, it can put the lives of soldiers in danger. Furthermore, in most cases NCOs have more combat experience or, at least, more experience in their MOS. In this sense they are better equipped to lead lower enlisted soldiers into combat situations, to protect their soldiers, and to ensure the completion of the mission. This is why they have earned the position of a non-commissioned officer in the first place and should therefore be respected. I can understand the logic behind this point of view.

NonCommissioned Officers are the backbone of the Marine Corps.   Each leader is very different from the other.   Some Marines enjoy being a corporal only because of the increase in rank and pay.   A few become the tactless leaders junior Marines try to avoid.   Fortunately, many others strive to become the leader that other Marines wish to emulate.   They know what it means to be a good leader.   Those Marines have the traits of a leader and they get to know their Marines

An NCO in my eyes is first most a leader, someone that has his soldiers back, there to protect and defend them, mentor them, and guide them into being NCO's themselves one day. As an NCO you need to be able to share your knowledge with younger soldiers, teach them the ways of the Army, let them not only learn from their mistakes, but from the ones we have made along the way as well. An NCO needs to be able to trust in his soldiers, but more importantly, soldiers need to be able to trust their NCO's. How can a soldier follow us into battle if they cannot trust us with the smaller things? How can a soldier turn to you in confidence with an issue that they have if they can’t even trust you, as an NCO, to have their back about something small

The second paragraph of the Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer gives a basic outline as to how we should conduct ourselves as leaders towards our subordinates. The second paragraph also ensures that we know as leaders that we are to be proficient in all aspects of our job, both as a soldier and in our military occupational specialty. “Competence is my watchword.” This sentence is telling the leader that he is to be trained and proficient in his job. If he is not then how is he able to pass on the knowledge, thus creating question why that person is in that position to begin with. “My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind—accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers.” Both in the warrior ethos and the Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer you see reference in accomplishing the mission. From private all the way to when you pin on stripes accomplishment of the mission is key to success in our military. Whether it is overseas or here at home mission is not solely defined as a tactical operation. It could be training soldiers deploying to an austere environment, accomplishing things around the military installation in which you

Outstandingly, American Non-commissioned officers have performed commendably in their discharge of their duties worldwide. Every soldier is entitled with NCO who ensures that all soldiers get good and professional training from experienced and qualified experts. NCO is also mandated to identify leaders from soldiers who can effectively perform in small-units. Hence it is very essential for the non commissioned officer to be empowered with knowledge and technique on how to carry out these duties effectively asserts that excellent leaders understand their soldiers' strength and weaknesses Basically, it is the role of non commissioned officer to employ knowledge and skills they have acquired through the many years of service in planning and decision making stages in the Army. In line with this, the US government is taking initiatives to empower the non-commissioned

The Non Commissioned Officer (NCO); the "backbone" of the Marine Corps. The driving force behind the battle of Belleau Wood, the battle of Hue City, the fight for Fallujiah, the taking of Marjah and, most recently, the battle against suicide and sexual harassment. No other group of men and women in the world have been called to fight across such a broad area of operation. As we look at the ever-adapting role of the NCO, we must first look to the past. One of the foremost examples that comes to mind is John Basilone. To Marines, Basilone needs no introduction. He was a hero, and Sergeant when he was awarded the Medal of Honor. No words can better describe his heroism than his citation. “For extraordinary heroism and conspicuous

The Confederation took place in 1867, and the Canadian Expeditionary Force(CEF) was raised in 1914. The CEF is what protects what the Confederation created, and would not the nation’s greatest achievement be protecting that which the nation created. “Canada did not enter the war of its own accord but was automatically at war when Britain declared war against Germany.” Canada entered the war to stand by its mother country, to protect the country who founded it. The Canadian Corps and CEF were created to defend Canada, and fought not only in the war but for the recognition that Canada deserved, to then show that in the Great War we achieved something great, and finally to piece together to how Canada is now, to build through the years and show that this was truly Canada’s greatest achievement.

The CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) was an emergency relief agency. It was open and running form 1932-1944 and was created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. This group was created to give work to unemployed and unmarried men that were from ages 17-28. President Franklin created this to help out his New Deal that helped with the natural resource manual labor jobs.

In 1973, the Army (and the noncommissioned officer corps) was in turmoil. Of the post-Vietnam developments in American military policy, the most influential in shaping the Army was the advent of the Modern Volunteer Army. With the inception of the Noncommissioned Officer Candidate Course, many young sergeants were not the skilled trainers of the past and were only trained to perform a specific job; squad leaders in

A Noncommissioned Officer's duties are numerous and must be taken seriously. An NCO's duty includes taking care of soldiers, which is your priority. Leaders must know and understand their soldiers well enough to train them as individuals and teams to operate proficiently. This will give them confidence in their ability to perform well under the difficult and demanding conditions of battle. Individual training is the principle duty and responsibility of NCOs. NCOs are responsible to fulfill not only their individual duties, but also to ensure their teams and units are successful. NCOs are accountable for your personal conduct and that of your soldiers. Noncommissioned officers have three types of duties: specified duties, directed duties

An NCO, Non-Commissioned Officer, is better known as the backbone of the Army. They are the ones who are supposed to exhibit exemplary behavior at all times, for all of the junior soldiers. Soldiers, who have not yet reached the rank of NCO, look to the example of these seasoned soldiers. It is extremely important for the NCO to be at the right place, at the right time, and in the right uniform. By performing this type of leadership, an NCO can prove their ability to execute at least one of the many things a soldier is expected to do. All NCOs should be aware that they are always visible to others, not only Officers and Senior NCOs, but also by Junior Soldiers and even civilians. As NCOs we must take pride in ourselves and be the absolute best we can be at all times. Being on time demonstrates a readiness and willingness to work.

It is important to show noncommissioned officers respect as well. You do not salute them; you stand at parade rest when talking to them and address them by their proper rank. The ranks you say when speaking to a noncommissioned officer are Corporal, sergeant, master sergeant, first sergeant and sergeant major. When talking to an NCO, you always finish your sentence with his or her rank. Here is an example: “I do not know the answer but I will find out and let you know Sergeant.” It is simple and easy to remember for most soldiers, while other soldiers need to remind themselves constantly to do this.
