Book excerpt: "The goal of the Soldier21 and NCO21 projects was to conduct a comprehensive analysis of future conditions and future job demands in order to identify critical performance predictors or knowledges, skills, and abilities (KSAs) that may eventually be developed into selection (Soldier21) and promotion (NCO21) criteria. Three eras were examined: the Army of Excellence (1990-2000), Army XXI (2000-2010), and the Army After 2010 (2010-2025). The specific objectives for Soldier21 were to (a) identify and describe the nature and type of changes that are expected to occur in these eras, (b) forecast future job requirements and the critical individual characteristics of soldiers who will perform proficiently, and (c) identify selection measures that might be used to assess individual characteristics. For NCO2l, the objectives were to (a) provide a description of forecasted conditions affecting future NCO performance, (b) describe the future job requirements, and (c) provide a descriptive list of the main qualities needed for effective noncommissioned officer performance. This report documents the methodology and findings of this effort."--DTIC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces. Introduction The Backbone of the Armed Forces To be a member of the United States Armed Forces--to wear the uniform of the Nation and the stripes, chevrons, or anchors of the military Services--is to continue a legacy of service, honor, and patriotism that transcends generations. Answering the call to serve is to join the long line of selfless patriots who make up the Profession of Arms. This profession does not belong solely to the United States. It stretches across borders and time to encompass a culture of service, expertise, and, in most cases, patriotism. Today, the Nation's young men and women voluntarily take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and fall into formation with other proud and determined individuals who have answered the call to defend freedom. This splendid legacy, forged in crisis and enriched during times of peace, is deeply rooted in a time-tested warrior ethos. It is inspired by the notion of contributing to something larger, deeper, and more profound than one's own self. Notice: This is a printed Paperback version of the "The Noncommissioned Officer and Petty Officer BACKBONE of the Armed Forces". Full version, All Chapters included. This publication is available (Electronic version) in the official website of the National Defense University (NDU). This document is properly formatted and printed as a perfect sized copy 6x9".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Army Transformation is changing the face of our military profession. During this time in history, the military profession is facing tremendous challenges. While much has been publicized about the impact of Transformation on the officer corps, senior leaders must be conscious of the implications of Army Transformation on the "backbone of the Army", the noncommissioned officer. This paper looks at the noncommissioned officer corps in context of its transition from the Cold War Era to the 21st century. It addresses contemporary issues affecting noncommissioned officers and makes recommendations that strengthen the NCO Corps through education, professional development and senior leader involvement.

Download or read book Validation of Measures Designed to Maximize 21st-Century Army NCO Performance written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NCO21 research program was undertaken to help the U.S. Army plan for the impact of future demands on the noncommissioned officer (NCO) corps. The performance requirements and associated knowledges, skills, and aptitudes (KSAs) expected of future successful NCOs were used as a basis for developing tools that could be incorporated into an NCO performance management system geared to 21st-century job demands. This report documents the concurrent criterion-related validation of the predictor measures. The predictor measures include the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), Assessment of Individual Motivation (AIM), and Biographical Information Questionnaire (BIQ), which are already used in the Army for other purposes. A written Situational Judgment Test (SJT), the Experience and Activities Record (ExAct), Personnel File Form (PFF21), and a semi-structured interview were developed for this project. Two types of rating scale instruments were developed for gathering criterion data. The Observed Performance Rating Scales ask supervisors to rate how well Soldiers perform in their current jobs and the Expected Future Performance Rating Scales have them predict how their Soldiers would perform in future conditions. All of the predictors yielded one or more scores that were significantly correlated with the performance ratings. The SJT, interview, and some scores from the AIM and BIQ showed the most incremental validity over the current system. In this concurrent validation, the predictors were more highly correlated with performance at the ES level compared to the E6 level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A. Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally." In this new edition, the authors methodically explore that common ground, reflecting on the basics of the Profession of Arms, and the officer's special place and distinctive obligations within that profession and especially to the Constitution.

Download or read book The Strategic Corporal Revisited written by David Lovell and published by Juta and Company (Pty) Ltd. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the ordinary soldier, the non-commissioned officer and the junior officer—the large proportion of the lower strata in military organisations—the expectations of levels of responsibility and decision-making are rapidly increasing. In 1999, US Marine Corps General Charles C. Krulak addressed this in his essay ‘The Strategic Corporal: Leadership in the Three-Block War’, which described the range of challenges likely to be faced by marines on the modern battlefield and where a range of operations (fighting, peace works and humanitarian assistance) might occur simultaneously within a very limited precinct (three blocks). The chapters in this book use the metaphor of the ‘strategic corporal’ to focus on the demands facing junior leaders in military operations in the twenty-first century, and what might be done to enhance their ability to respond to them. The circumstances in which these decisions are made need to be better understood, by soldiers and their critical onlookers, be they villagers on the scene, senior military or political leaders remote from the operation, or anti-war activists thousands of miles away. Being ‘strategic’ is not just about a soldier’s professional mastery. Increasingly it also means a genuine familiarity with legal and ethical issues, and an ability in low-intensity conflict to understand local culture and communicate with those in villages and neighbourhoods whose goodwill, or at least neutrality, are vital to ultimate success. In the non-war circumstances in which many Western militaries operate, such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief as well as peacekeeping operations, it means dealing with civil authorities in the distribution of aid or even the administration of justice if local institutions have broken down. Sometimes it involves negotiation and mediation. It may even mean having an understanding of the ways pervasive modern media works, and its potential to surveil—and sometimes derail—a mission. Sometimes it also means having a better understanding of the challenges that face the soldier’s own defence force: including the malign effects of bureaucratic inertia and the ‘outsourcing’ of key capabilities to private contractors. The book combines theoretical discussions with practical examples, but it is not—as so many books about future conflict are—a discussion of the technology of future war. Rather, it provides opportunities for specialists in a range of security-related fields to consider the issues and challenges of military leadership, the role of civilians and contractors, the importance of International Humanitarian Law, and even whether strategic gains can be made without the deployment of troops (‘strategic corporals’ or otherwise).

Download or read book Enhancing the Retention of Army Noncommissioned Officers written by Herbert J. Shukiar and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2000 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the noncommissioned officer (NCO) leader development workshop conducted by RAND Arroyo Center and the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy in April 1997 was to identify the assumptions underpinning the Army1s current NCO leader development mechanisms and evaluate the robustness of those assumptions. The analysis clearly points to improving fast-tracker E5/E6 mid-career retention as having a higher impact on the force structure than selectively relaxing E7/E8 RCPs. Improving the retention behavior of mid-career fast trackers in hard-to-retain or high-tech military occupational specialties focuses on the NCOs the Army wants to retain. The fact that their retention behavior mirrors that of their at- and below-grade colleagues should make them prime targets for retention-improvement efforts. Such efforts should include accelerated education opportunities, improved self-development venues, and financial incentive.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Department of the Army Pamphlet DA PAM 600-25 Personnel-General: U.S. Army Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development Guide 7 December 2017, serves as the medium to provide Soldiers and enlisted centralized selection board members professional development guidance for noncommissioned officers (NCOs) within their respective career management field (CMF). Civilian supervisors also need to understand the professional development guidance for NCOs to assist them in their career advancement. This guide serves as a framework for NCOs, warrant officers, officers, and civilians alike to offer advice and counsel NCOs on their professional growth and development. This pamphlet should not be construed as a simplified checklist for promotion selection or a guide for NCOs on how to perform their assigned duties. Rather, this guide serves to supplement the Army's various strategies on leader development, including the NCO 2020 strategy, talent management strategy, and the human dimension strategy. It provides guidance intended to develop the next generation of competent and committed NCOs of character who are capable of meeting the challenges of operational adaptability in an era of persistent conflict within an All-Volunteer Army. NCOs are the "backbone of the Army." Ours is a professional corps that reflects America's diversity and represents the time-honored values that built our Nation-hard work, duty, selflessness, determination, honor, and compassion. Army NCOs represent a true competitive advantage. This advantage is a result of the Army's institutional commitment to develop a professional corps of NCOs and a capacity to learn faster and adapt more quickly than its adversaries. The Army's leader development imperatives guide principles that inform policy and actions in order to develop leaders with the required qualities and enduring leader characteristics. These guiding principles remain constant from initial service affiliation through separation or retirement. They foster an environment to develop NCOs during their careers through progressive and sequential processes which incorporate training, education, and experiences across learning domains of institutional, operational, and self-development. The Army's strategies build on the Army's experiences since the end of the Cold War through the early conflicts of the 21st century.
