Noncommissioned Officer Academy

 

Mission:

The 10th Mountain Division (LI) Noncommissioned Officer Academy provides professional military education that develops fit, disciplined, well-educated professionals capable of leading lethal teams to win as part of a joint all-domain force.

 

Basic Leader Course

The Basic Leader Course focuses on six NCO Core Competencies (NCO-C3). These competencies are readiness, leadership, training management, communications, operations, and program management. BLC is designed to build basic leader and trainer skills needed to lead a team-size element, while providing the foundation for further development along the Professional Military Education (PME) learning continuum. Instruction at the BLC is accomplished through the use of the Army Experiential Learning Model (ELM) methodology. Lessons are facilitated in a small group setting with a collaborative approach, which allows the Soldiers to discover information and then apply it to new and ambiguous situations. Lessons include critical and creative thinking activities and exercises, which aid in learning. Facilitators assess the Soldiers’ leadership ability and potential through observing discussions and interactions.
