A very welcome contribution to military studies

Non-commissioned officers (NCO) are the backbone of any effective military force. They are the primary trainers, disciplinarians, and are closely associated with the welfare of the troops and the execution of battle commands in the front lines. Backbone Of The Army: Non-Commissioned Officers In The Future Army comprises the contributions of academics, officers, and non-commissioned officers as they examine the future of the army and NCO recruits, as well as implications for education, training, doctrine, organization, and comparative assessments from allied armies. Backbone Of The Army is a seminal work and a very welcome contribution to military studies.
