Modernization (Redesign) of 15 Army Career Management Field (CMF) Advanced Leader Course (ALC)

摘要

"The Army has been changing since the Army has been in existence. We're going to make sure that we are ready and lethal for whatever we've been asked to do." - 16th Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston SMA Grinston's words are true and are even more powerful with our ever-changing world and adversaries. We, as an NCO Corps, need to ensure we are trained and ready for whatever challenges lay ahead. To this aim, the United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence (USAACE) NCO Academy Fort Eustis, VA (NCOA-E) 15 Army Career Management Field (CMF) Advanced Leadership Course (ALC) is being redesigned to meet the requirement of the TRADOC NCO 2020 Strategy. The need to modernize was determined through a task analysis sur- vey of job incumbents, graduating the NCOA-E ALC programs, combined with survey results from FORSCOM Soldiers and leaders. These results indicated the current ALC curriculum did not adequately prepare Aviation maintenance NCOs to serve as effective staff sergeants in Army Aviation. It was apparent that training modernization was needed after little change in the previous 20 years. A Critical Task Site Selection Board (CTSSB) for the ALC CMF 15 series Aviation maintenance MOSs convened on September 21,2016, at the USAACE NCO Acad- emy, where necessary changes were identified to modernize Aviation NCO Leadership Training.
