HISTORY OF THE NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER ACADEMY THE HISTORY OF THE NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER ACADEMY DATES BACK TO SHORTLY AFTER WORLD WAR II WHEN THE FIRST ACADEMY WAS

ESTABLISHED IN MUNICH, GERMANY. GENERAL BRUCE C. CLARKE, THEN WITH THE 7TH ARMY, EUROPE, ASSUMED THE DUTIES AS COMMANDANT, AND IS CONSIDERED THE FATHER OF THE US ARMY NCO ACADEMIES AROUND THE WORLD. IN THE 1950'S THE EXPANDING WORLDWIDE ROLE OF THE US ARMY DICTATED THE NEED FOR WELL TRAINED NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS. RECOGNIZING THIS NEED, THE UNITED STATES ARMY AUTHORIZED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN NCO ACADEMY BY EACH CONUS AND OVERSEAS

ARMY. AS A RESULT OF EXPANSION AND DEVELOPMENT, THE XVIII AIRBORNE CORPS NCO ACADEMY WAS ESTABLISHED ON 1 JANUARY 1972. SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT, THOUSANDS OF NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MET THE CHALLENGES OF THE PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION AND HAVE RETURNED TO THEIR UNITS BETTER TRAINED AND PREPARED

TO LEAD SOLDIERS.
