Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer

Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer

No one is more professional than I. I am a Noncommissioned Officer, a leader of soldiers. As a Noncommissioned Officer, I realize that I am a member of a time honored Corps, which is known as The Backbone of the Army. I am proud of the Corps of Noncommissioned officers and will at all times conduct myself so as to bring credit upon the Corps, the Military Service and my country regardless of the situation in which I find myself. I will not use my grade or position to attain pleasure, profit or personal safety. Competence is my watch-word. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mindaccomplishment of my mission and the welfare of my soldiers. I will strive to remain tactically and technically proficient. I am aware of my role as a Noncommissioned Officer. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent in that role. All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my soldiers and I will always place their needs above my own. I will communicate with my soldiers and never leave them uninformed. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both punishment and rewards. Officers in my unit will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence as well as those of my soldiers. I will be loyal to those with whom I serve; seniors, peers and subordinates alike. I will exercise initiative by taking the appropriate action in the absence of orders. I will not compromise my integrity nor my moral courage. I will not forget, nor will I allow my comrades to forget that we are professionals, Noncommissioned officers, leaders!

Many years ago, as a cadet hoping some day to be an officer, I was poring over The Principles of War, listed in the old Field Service Regulations, when the Sergeant-Major came upon me. He surveyed me with kindly amusement. Dont bother your head about all them things, me lad, he said. Theres only one principle of war and thats this. Hit the other fellow, as quick as you can, and as hard as you can, where it hurts him most, when he aint looking! - WWII Field-Marshal Sir William Slim, Defeat into Victory, pp. 550-551

Chain of Command
Never show signs of fear in combat if you go into a panic, the other men near you may be scared enough to follow your example. Remember that you belong to a team, and other men are depending on you. You will have to take risks to help your buddy; he will do the same for you. Veterans also stress that coolness is contagious. If one man behaves calmly in a dangerous situation, the sight is a tonic to the others. What they need is leadership by example it helps them to do their job better.

Communications are your key to control. Once a combat operation is in progress, your ability to communicate measures the amount of control you can exercise over the subordinate elements of your unit. In a firefight, your ability to communicate usually determines the amount of support (artillery, air, medical, supply) you will get when and where you need it Your communications equipment is your lifeline in combat; check, test and inspect it frequently, and particularly before any combat operations Dont depend entirely on any one means of communication; plan for alternate, secondary and emergency means.
