Noncommissioned Officer Education

摘要

The Army is a learning organization. In this regard, education is very important for Soldiers and NCOs across the force. Many people may not realize that the civilian education level of the NCO Corps has gone up considerably. Over 20 years ago, a high school diploma was the average education level of NCOs. Today, most NCOs have at least an associate's degree, and many have even more education. The Army's own educational opportunities have increased. Distance learning, the College of the American Soldier, Army Career Tracker, the GoArmyEd portal, and the eArmyU online program can provide Soldiers on the ground with the equipment they need to complete their learning requirements for their NCO Education System courses and continue their college educations from wherever they are.
