in the military, what are NCO’s, how do they differ from normal officers, and why do some countries not have many of them?

1.26K views

What does non-commissioned mean? Do these officers go through officer academy like ordinary officers? And why do some analysts say that having a strong NCO class is essential to a well-functioning army (i.e. what can they do that a normal officer can’t?)

Thanks in advance!

One way to think of it is that COs are the intellect, NCOs are the common sense.

CO are trained from the start in the science of war. How many infantry it takes to storm a hill also held by infantry, how much food will last their unit, how much ammo they need. Howamy trucks that’ll fill up.

NCO will be there to point out things like, food expires ammo doesn’t…so order more than you think.

Boots are more important than shirts.

Do not order the orange chicken mre.

Buying oranges will help with unit discipline…

Load the trucks with the food on top and by the doors…or vice versa..

Things that only becomes apparent after having served for a long time.
