What are NCO responsibilities?
Simply so, what is the NCO vision?
1. An NCO Corps, grounded in heritage, values and tradition, that embodies the warrior ethos, values perpetual learning; and is capable of leading, training and motivating soldiers. 2.
Also know, what was the original role of the NCO?
Von Steuben was the first to refer to the NCO Corps as the "backbone" of the Army and his regulation established the centerpiece for NCO duties and responsibilities from 1778 to the present. NCOs were also responsible for keeping men silent during night missions, while leading them through the terrain.
To answer your first question: Any Officer, NCO, Petty Officer, Warrant Officer or person in a position of authority (ie, SFS) can give lawful orders. Those orders are not limited to existing AFIs. An NCO doesn't need AFI "back up" to order you to do something.
