Purpose

This pamphlet provides guidance for the professional development of noncommissioned officers (NCO) to meet the requirements prescribed in the NCO vision. It also provides an excellent framework for NCOs, warrant officers, officers, and civilians alike to advise and counsel NCOs on their professional development. This pamphlet is neither a simplified checklist for promotions nor a guide for NCOs on how to perform their assigned duties as leaders to the best of their abilities.
