Educating Noncommissioned Officers: A Chronology of Educational Programs for the American NCO
$10.30 – $15.30
Description
For much of U.S. Army history, noncommissioned officer (NCO) training was conducted through on-the-job training (OJT) within the unit, led by officers and overseen by commanding officers. This method was widely regarded as the most effective way to develop NCOs and future leaders. However, after World War II, a shift occurred, and NCO training transitioned to specialized schools and academies outside the unit. William O. Wooldridge, the first Sergeant Major of the Army, highlighted how soldiers once had to pursue their own education, often through night classes. Today, structured training is essential for advancement, marking a major evolution in the development of Army leadership.
