What Is an NCO?
An NCO, or non-commissioned officer, is an enlisted leader who does not hold a commission. NCOs usually earn their position of authority by promotion through the enlisted ranks, while commissioned officers usually enter directly from a military academy or an officer training program. In western armies, NCOs are equivalent to junior non-commissioned officers such as sergeants and corporals. They are appointed by a commissioned officer and supervise enlisted soldiers.
Key Points About the NCO Role
NCO is a military term. It names a rank and a position of supervision, not a hardware or computing term. The role combines leadership of enlisted personnel with support for the commissioned officer corps. NCOs also include petty officers and, in some services, warrant officers.
