NCO Feedback Vital To Capability Development

摘要

The project management offices across Program Executive Office Aviation support aviators in the field with the development, design, delivery and support of all aviation systems and subsystems across the U.S. Army. They are staffed with officers, civilians, and contractors, most of them with an aviation background. However, enlisted aviators were barely represented in the ranks. PEO Aviation is always looking for new and inventive ways to complete our mission; the status quo is not sufficient. As a result, we have taken many steps to operationalize our project management offices (PMOs). One initiative in particular is paying significant dividends in the design and development of our portfolio. Starting in 2018, PEO Aviation leaders lobbied Army Aviation Branch to assign a senior non-commissioned officer to each project office to provide enlisted subject matter expertise to the acquisition support systems and in the early stages of aviation system design, development and support.
