Of THE NONCOMMISSIONED tlI7b.

No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader
of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a
time honored corps, which is knO'Vll as II The Backbone of the Army.II
I am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned Officers and will at all times
conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the :rv.I.ilitary Service and
my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my
grade or position to attain pleasure, profit, or personal safety.
Competence is my watch-word. My two basic responsibilities will always be
uppermost in my mind--accomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my
soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am aware
of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities
inherent in that role. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will
provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always place their needs
above my own. I will communicate consistently with my soldiers and never
leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both
rewards and punishment.
Officers of my unit ,rill have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they
will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as
well as that of my soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors,
peers and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate
action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity, nor my
moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we
are professionals, Noncommissioned Officers, leaders!

stablished in late 1971, the Noncommissioned Officer !ducation System (NCO!S) consists of four progressive levels
of instruction' (Primary, sic, Advanced and Senior). TIte design of each level is to prepare Noncommissioned Officers
(NCOs) for positions of increased responsibility compatible with their career development and grade progression.
The United States Army Sergeants Major Course represents the capstone of the NCO!S. It s the pinnacle of formal
military schooling for tlte Noncommissioned Officer.
The United States Army Sergeants Major Academy (USMMA) was established on 1 July 1972 and began instruction in
January 1973. Our curriculum design broadens the student's current knowledge base. This approach differs from the
Military Occupational Specialty (MaS) related training at the basic and advanced levels of the NCO!S. The prime
educational technique employed throughout the course is the small group participatory learning process.
USASMA became the proponent for developing common leader training for all Advanced Noncommissioned Officer
Course (ANCOC) in June 1981. The common leader training for ANCOC covers five major subject areas: (1) leadership,
(2) communications, (3) training management, (4) professional skills, and (5) military studies. Further eHorts at USASMA
to standarize NCO training resulted in the addition of a new Warrior Leader Course (WLC). This course is a blend of the
previous Primary Leadership Course (PLC) and the Primary Noncommissioned Officer Course (PNCOC) i"to one course to
better serve combat support and combat service support Soldiers at the junior NCO level.
USASMA maintains operational control over the United States Army First Sergeant Course (FSC). This five-week
program trains Master Sergeants, First Sergeants, and Sergeant First Class Promotables in the finer points of performing
present or future duties as a First Sergeant. TIte FSC began in October, 1981 and has graduated more than 900 Soldiers
annually since its inception. USASMA developed the common leader training for all Basic NCO Courses (8NCOC), and has
been the proponent since 1984 for reserve component leader training for the FSC, ANCOC, 8NCOC, and WLC.
In 1989, USASMA began conducting the Command Sergeant Major Course (CSMC). The CSMC is a one-week course that
provides newly assigned Command Sergeants Major (CSM) and CSM designees with the knowledge needed to serve
effectively as a CSM. The 42.5 hours of instruction include leader transition, training management, sponsorship,
assigning and utilizing Soldiers, boards, retention, the NCOIR system, quality of life, and unit readiness. The training
focus is on the Commander/CSM relationship and the duties of the CSM in training the unit to mission standards. The
course instructors are current CSMs brought from the field. All Noncommissioned Officers awaiting positions as CSMs
must attend this course. USASMA also conducts the CSM Spouse Course in conjuction with the CSMC. This course
enhances the roll of the CSM spouse providing insight and guidance regarding their new position in the Army Community.
In January 1991, USASMA began instructing the Battle Staff Noncommissioned Officer Course (SSNCOC). The course
effectively combines the programs of instrcution (POls) of the former Operations and Intelligence Course and the
Personnel Logistics Course into a six-week program. In addition to being the proponent for NCO!S, USASMA is also
responsible for the NCO Journal and The United States Army, Museum of the Noncommissioned Officer.
The NCO Journal is a quarterly publication for the Noncommissioned Officer of the United States Army. Our mission is
to provide a forum for tlte open exchange of ideas and information, to support training, education and development of the
NCO Corps, and to foster a close bond among its members.
The Museum traces the history of the NCO ranks through 200 years of history. 8egining with the birth of the
Continental Army in 1775 and highlighting such events as the expansion westward in the Civil War, the Indian frontier,
American expansion overseas, World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and the development of tlte NCO!S, museum
exhibits portray the evolution of the NCO in war and peace.
Using uniforms, weapons, tools and equipment, museum exhibits present a visual image of the NCO's duties, daiy life
and accomplishments. Documents, posters, drawing and photograps further enhance visual images provided by museum
exhibits.
In addition to the exhibits, the museum provides visitors with information on a wide variety of subjects related to NCO
history. xamp/es include: "A Short History of the NCO", "Mounted Troops on the Plains: 1833-1845", "Soldiers and Trader
on the Missouri: 1819-1820", "NCO Wives on the frontier: 1870", "The Volunteer: 1846", and " lack Soldiers in the
American Frontier Army."
