Backbone of the Armed Forces

A first of its kind, this book-of, by, and for the noncommissioned officer and
petty officer-is a comprehensive explanation of the enlisted leader across the
U.S. Armed Services. It complements The Armed Forces Officer, the latest edition
of which was published by NDU Press in 2007, as well as the Services' NCO/PO
manuals and handbooks. Written by a team of Active, Reserve, and retired senior
enlisted leaders from all Service branches, this book defines and describes how
NCOs/POs fit into an organization, centers them in the Profession of Arms,
explains their dual roles of complementing the officer and enabling the force,
and exposes their international engagement. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff General Martin E. Dempsey writes in his foreword to the book, "We know
noncommissioned officers and petty officers to have exceptional competence,
professional character, and soldierly grit-they are exemplars of our Profession
of Arms."

Aspirational and fulfilling, this book helps prepare young men and women who
strive to become NCOs/POs, re-inspires serving enlisted leaders, and stimulates
reflection by those who have retired from or left active service. It also gives
those who have never worn the uniform a better understanding of who these
exceptional men and women are, and why they are properly known as the "Backbone
of the Armed Forces."
