HISTORY OF THE

NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER ACADEMY

THE HISTORY OF THE NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER ACADEMY DATES

BACK TO SHORTLY AFTER WORLD WAR II WHEN THE FIRST ACADEMY WAS

ESTABLISHED IN MUNICH, GERMANY.

GENERAL BRUCE C. CLARKE, THEN WITH THE 7TH ARMY, EUROPE,

ASSUMED THE DUTIES AS COMMANDANT, AND IS CONSIDERED THE

FATHER OF THE US ARMY NCO ACADEMIES AROUND THE WORLD.

IN THE 1950’S THE EXPANDING WORLDWIDE ROLE OF THE US ARMY

DICTATED THE NEED FOR WELL TRAINED NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS.

RECOGNIZING THIS NEED, THE UNITED STATES ARMY AUTHORIZED THE

ESTABLISHMENT OF AN NCO ACADEMY BY EACH CONUS AND OVERSEAS

ARMY.

AS A RESULT OF EXPANSION AND DEVELOPMENT, THE XVIII AIRBORNE

CORPS NCO ACADEMY WAS ESTABLISHED ON 1 JANUARY 1972. SINCE ITS

ESTABLISHMENT, THOUSANDS OF NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS HAVE

SUCCESSFULLY MET THE CHALLENGES OF THE PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION

AND HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR UNITS BETTER TRAINED AND PREPARED

TO LEAD SOLDIERS.

The Army Song"The Army Goes Rolling Along“

All the words to "The Army Goes Rolling Along:" (Based upon "The Caisson Song" by Brig. Gen. E.L. Gruber) Written and adapted by H.W. Arberg

March along, sing our songwith the Army of the free

Count the brave,count the true,

who have fought to victory.We're the Army and proud of our name;We're the Army and proudly proclaim:

First to fight for the right, and to build the Nation's might,And the Army Goes Rolling Along

Proud of all we have done,Fighting till the battle's won,

And the Army Goes Rolling Along

CHORUS:Then it's hi, hi, hey! The Army's on its way

Count off the cadence loud and strong (two, three)For wher-e'erwe go, You will always know

that the Army Goes Rolling AlongValley Forge, Custer's ranks, San Juan hill and Patton's tanks,

And the Army went rolling along.Minute men from the start,

Always fighting from the heart,And the Army keeps rolling along.

CHORUSMen in rags, men who froze, still that Army met its foes,

And the Army went rolling along.Faith in God, then we're right,

And we'll fight with all our might,As the Army keeps rolling along.

CHORUS (the third chorus should be sung slower) + (Keep it rolling) And The Army Goes Rolling Along.

CREED OF THENONCOMMISSIONED 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 THE 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 THESITUATION IN WHICH I FIND MYSELF, I WILL NOT USE MY GRADE OR POSITION TO ATTAIN PLEASURE, PROFIT, OR PERSONAL SAFETY.

COMPETENCE IS MY WATCHWORD. MY TWO BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES WILL ALWAYS BE UPPERMOST IN MY MIND -ACCOMPLISHMENT OF MY MISSION AND THE WELFARE OF MY SOLDIERS. I WILL STRIVE TO REMAIN TECHNICALLY AND TACTICALLY 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 CONSISTENTLY WITH ALL MY SOLDIERS AND NEVER LEAVE THEM UNINFORMED. I WILL BE FAIR AND IMPARTIAL WHEN RECOMMENDING BOTH REWARDS AND PUNISHMENT.

OFFICERS OF 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 THAT OF MY SOLDIERS. I WILL BE LOYAL TO THOSE WITH WHOM I SERVE; SENIORS, PEERS AND SUBORDINATES ALIKE. I WILL EXERCISE INITIATIVE BY TAKING 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.
