Noncommissioned Officer Support Channel The NCO support channel assists the chain of command in accomplishing the following: • Transmitting, instilling and ensuring of the Army ethics. • Planning and conducting day-to-day operations. • Training Soldiers and developing training. • Supervising PRT and ensuring compliance with height and weight and appearance standards in AR 600-9, The Army Body Composition Program, and AR 670-1, Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia. • Teaching Army history, military customs, courtesies, and traditions. • Caring for Soldiers and families on and off duty. • Teaching the unit’s mission. • Accounting for/maintaining individual arms and equipment. • NCO professional development program. • Achieving and maintaining Army values. • Advising the commander on rewards and punishment for enlisted Soldiers.
