The First 100 Days of Platoon Leadership

From CALL (Center For Army Lessons Learned)

Dated 2018

Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development System (NCOPDS)/ Officer Education System (OES) schools have neither the time nor ability to cover every scenario a new platoon leader (PL) or platoon sergeant (PSG) may face after assuming duties.

The Center for Army Lessons Learned, in conjunction with serving and former PLs and PSGs, has compiled lessons learned and best practices for PLs and PSGs and those who aspire to these positions to improve themselves and their units.

The purpose of this handbook is to provide these lessons learned and best practices to PLs and PSGs to help enable their success in their first 100 days in position and beyond.

This book is a "mini" (half the size of a regular sheet of paper) size - A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.

This website also has this book in the BIG size (the size of a regular sheet of paper).

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.
