Who is responsible for NCODP?

The command is responsible for the Non-Commissioned Officer Development Program (NCODP) because it is a structured program designed to improve the competencies and leadership abilities of non-commissioned officers (NCOs). The command’s role is crucial in establishing the program's objectives, providing the necessary resources, and ensuring that it is implemented effectively within the unit. Commanders set the tone for the professional development of their NCOs and are accountable for creating an environment that fosters growth and learning.

In doing so, they help to maintain the Army's overall readiness and effectiveness by ensuring that NCOs are well-trained and prepared to lead soldiers. While soldiers themselves have a role in their development and training, the overarching responsibility lies with the command, which guides and supports the NCODP. Other roles, such as the training officer or specific leaders within the command, contribute to the execution and management of the program but do so under the authority and direction established by the command.
