Six military members from the Security Assistance Training Management
Organization and Kansas Army National Guard led a Warrior Leader Course
at the Warrant Officer School in Yerevan, Armenia, from Feb. 24 to
March 1.
"This is in fact the first Warrior Leaders Course that has ever been
conducted in Armenia," Sgt. 1st Class Ronald Bootes from USASATMO
said. "This course was instrumental in demonstrating the capabilities
of a professional noncommissioned officer corps and laid the foundation
for the improvements that they desire for the Armenian Army NCO Corps."
The U.S. Army Mobile Training Team condensed key lessons from the
monthlong U.S. Army Warrior Leadership Course into a one-week version
for 46 privates and sergeants of the Armenian Army. Focusing on basic
leadership and Soldier skills, this "light" version still had the same
expectation, to provide a crucial step toward these Armenian soldiers
becoming better NCOs and will have a better understanding of how to
apply basic leadership, training management and war fighting skills
in any environment in which they operate.
"For our militaries to work together interoperable within NATO and
amongst partners, the NCO corps is critical," U.S. Ambassador to
Armenia John Heffren said. "What this training is about and what
the NCO corps is about is a lot more than actual war fighting, it's
about leadership."
This is the first of three NCO development courses which supports
Security Assistance Command's mission to help build partner capacity
which will lead to stronger regional stability.
