  4. The Commander exercises overall responsibility over assigned personnel and subordinate organizations to insure that assigned missions are accomplished in the most efficient and effective manner possible. The Command Sergeant Major, by tradition, is responsible for the conduct and development of enlisted Soldiers and non-commissioned officers across the Command. The CAC Chief of Staff manages and oversees the activities of a coordinating staff and a special staff. The coordinating staff is focused on policy and procedure development for the command; the special staff provides command-wide advice in specialized or technical areas. Major Subordinate Organizations carry out the majority of the functions assigned to the CAC Commander. In general, each is resourced for and focused on a core function and one or more specified functions. Schools, centers and specialized activities are spread across the country and are responsible for executing a portion of the CAC mission. In general, each of these organizations is responsible for the training of specific branch skills (such as “Infantry”) and serving as the Army’s functional expert in that area. In this regard, CAC is an integrator of specialized skills, on one hand, and an executor of common skills, on the other. Organizational Structure The Combined Arms Center is organized along four basic levels:

  10. SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY Integration of new Soldiers to the unit. Ensure that newly assigned enlisted personnel are instructed in military courtesy, customs of the service and command regulations or policies. Leadership…Always set the example and be fair. I believe that there are two reasons Soldiers fail at a task (lack of training & Motivation). Soldiers look to NCOs' for action and as a role model. “Lead your Soldiers and show you care”. Role of the NCO NCOs' don’t meet the standard they set it!

  21. Role of the NCO“LEADERSHIP” A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles; they don’t flock together you find them one at a time.
