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

Command responsibility refers to collective or organizational accountability and includes how well the unit performs their missions. For example, a company commander is responsible for all the tasks and missions assigned to the company; his superiors hold him accountable for completing them. Commanders give military leaders the responsibility for what their sections, units, or organizations do or fail to do. NCOs are therefore responsible to fulfill not only their individual duties, but also to ensure that their team and unit are successful. The amount of responsibility delegated to you depends on your mission, the position you hold and your own willingness to accept responsibility.

The strong values and responsibilities of the Marine NCO are now, more than ever, necessary to carry out the operations being assigned to United States Marines. The role of the NCO is characterized by their leadership skills, ability to train and care for their subordinates, as well as their responsibility to enforce Marine Corps standards to ensure the proficiency of the Marines in their unit. Strong NCO leadership is extremely crucial out in combat, particularly when it comes to small unit combat operations.

Considered the “backbone of the Army,” the Army NCO corps is facing a massive shortage of qualified Soldiers thanks to the down-sizing of military forces after a decade and a half of wars, and the seasoned NCOs either separating from the military, retiring, or recovering from combat related injuries. Through a Department of Defense policy that was implemented in 2005 to expand the NCO corps, which ultimately lowered the bar for promotion,

Officers are responsible for taking the mission statement and putting their Soldiers into the equation. The mission’s success rides on the officer along with the welfare, morale, and professional development. (Army, 2011).

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

In today's class, we discussed OML, Standardized tests, branch services and how they play a role in the commissioning process. OML is an acronym that stands for Order of Merit list, and is used to rank cadets from the top achiever to under achiever. It is important that cadets know where they stand because it can affect whether they commission or not. Students who go out their way to do really well on tests and are active in school are targets for being number one or at least in the top 10 percent. Standardized tests such as the CLA and MAT both test the individual in skills area of: reasoning, analyzing, critical thinking, problem solving and last writing. Officers are required to have mastered these skills. Also prepping for the test

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.

The NCOIC position was unique in Camp Bucca. There were over four Lieutenant Colonels, 3 Command Sergeant Majors, and 5 First Sergeant that all lived and worked on less than sixteen acres. SFC Sousa’s daily operational tempo was consumed with challenges ranging from advising on logistic support requirements for life support on the base to finding out who does he talk to about establishing a Department of Defense Activity Address Code (DoDAAC) for this new installation. In addition to this, he became the subject matter expert for Morale and Welfare Recreation (MWR) matters.

The purpose of this essay is to further my knowledge of the Army NCO support channel, chain of command and why we, as soldiers, use them. I will also be explaining the importance of obeying a lawful order from a first sergeant and performing that order in a timely manner. First I am going to talk about The Army NCO support Channel.

Since 1775, the Noncommissioned Officer Corps has distinguished itself through leadership, professionalism, commitment, courage and dedication. It is comprised of trained, adaptable, self-sacrificing professionals who have earned the admiration of both the officer and enlisted ranks.

The NCO Corps is the reason behind our success on the battlefield today and on battlefields of the past.
