BATTLE STAFF NCO HANDBOOK
Foreword
Demands to produce timely and instructive staff products continue to increase
exponentially. Full-spectrum warfare presents many challenges for the brigade
combat team (BCT) and battalion-level staffs. Battle staffs must plan for and
conduct multiple military operations simultaneously in their respective areas of
operation. On any given day, units may be conducting stability operations in one
sector, while engaging in small-unit fights in another.
Key imperatives addressed in this handbook complement those outlined in Field
Manual 3-24,
Counterinsurgency
:
•
Manage information and expectations (battle tracking).
•
Learn and adapt (flexibility).
•
Empower the lowest levels (centralized planning/decentralized
execution).
The role of the battle staff is a critical component to achieve mission success in a
counterinsurgency environment. Battle staff noncommissioned officers (NCOs)
perform a multitude of vitally important roles and functions in the tactical operations
centers and command posts. They are the principal managers of battle tracking,
which supports the timely analysis and processing of plans and orders, and they
continually adapt these plans and orders to counter the threat. This handbook
highlights the important roles that battle staff NCOs fulfill in BCT and battalion-
level staffs and defines their key roles and responsibilities. The purpose of this
handbook is to offer rehearsal techniques and troop-leading procedures as well as
useful tactics, techniques, and procedures to maintain and improve battle staff
efficiency.
