Preface

This Department of the Army Training Circular (TC) is dedicated to the men and women of the

U.S. Army NCO Corps, who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to NCOs presently serving in the Active Army, the Army National Guard, and the Army Reserve. The Soldiers will seek guidance, trust you to train them, and to develop them to win the nation’s wars. As the standard- bearer, instill pride and strive to live the Army Values. You are “The Backbone of the Army.”

Scope. The TC provides the Army's NCOs a guide for leading, supervising, and caring for Soldiers. While this guide is not all-inclusive, nor is it intended as a stand-alone document, it provides NCOs a quick and ready reference to refresh and develop leadership traits.

Purpose: To use as a guide to develop an innovative, competent professional NCO. NCOs must learn to analyze and evaluate the operational environment to create and apply an understanding of the changing world that confronts them.

Applicability. The TC provides critical information for the success of today's NCO and is intended for use by all the NCOs in the Active Army Component, the Army National Guard, and the Army Reserve Component.

Throughout the history of the U.S. Army, the NCO has been its backbone.

The contents of this guide will serve as a tool in the kit bag of every NCO, enabling them to understand the requirements, regulations, and methods required to train our Soldiers.  

This book is a "BIG" (the size of a regular piece of paper) size - Coil binding is used to allow for easy page flipping with no binding.

This website also has this book in "mini" size (half the size of a regular sheet of paper). A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.

All in COLOR plus laminated covers for weather protection..
