Future Leader Development Of Army Non-Commissioned Officers: Workshop Results (1998) By John D. Winkler, Herb Shukiar, James A. Dewar, Matthew W. Lewis, Bernadette Benjamin, Jerry M. Sollinger, John E. Peters, Harry J. Thie
 
The Sergeant Major of the Army and the Command Sergeant Major of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command asked RAND's Arroyo Center to undertake a research project entitled "Future Leader Development of Noncommissioned Officers," with the goal of identifying ways to strengthen and modernize the professional development of noncommissioned officers to meet future demands. As part of this effort, the Arroyo Center helped to organize and facilitate two workshops, attended by senior Army NCOs. One workshop focused on the current noncommissioned officer professional development system, identifying its strengths, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities. Subsequently, a second workshop built upon the output of the first and crafted a vision for the noncommissioned officer corps, including policy initiatives to strengthen leader development and options needing detailed assessment. This document summarizes the results of both conferences. It also explores the implications of the vision and sketches out some possible research approaches to address them.
