"WARRIORS BY TRADE, PROFESSIONALS BY CHOICE"

Year of the NCO

Mission

Conduct WLC training for the active, reserve and national guard Army components which will enable prospective and newly promoted Sergeants to effectively perform their duties as NCOs in peace and war. Additionally, provide the USARAK Commander a permanent Video Tele-Training (VTT) assistant instructor capability to conduct NCOES courses, assist the Alaska Regional Training Institute (RTI) in conducting multi-component Infantry NCOES, and support the training of International Military Exchange Training (IMET) students.


VISION

Train and develop the Army’s future Noncommissioned Officer Corps by providing functional leadership skill sets that embody the Warrior Ethos, Army Values and standards set forth in the NCO Creed. Teaching methods focus on the “Big Picture” by using conceptual models, where students are taught not what to think, but how to think.


GOALS

Graduate Leaders that exude confidence and competence to perform their duties as NCOs across a broad spectrum in peace and war by:

  • Leading by Example
  • Maintaining and Enforcing Standards
  • Adapting to the Changing Environment by “Thinking” Through Challenges
  • Taking Care of Soldiers and their Families
