SECTION VII
NCO CORNER
At the small unit level, the NCO is the person that gets rehearsals accomplished. In the event of limited time, he must work closely with his soldiers and officers to assist in prioritizing what must be accomplished.
Even though formal rehearsals for a mission begin with the receipt of the warning order, in reality, they begin at home station, as part of the unit's individual and combined training program. NCOs are the quality control on any rehearsal standards. They must ensure that crew drills, unit SOPs, and contingencies, are rehearsed under tough combat conditions. If NCOs fail to enforce standards, soldiers are the first to suffer the consequences.
