The US Army Museum of the Noncommissioned Officer traces the history of the noncommissioned officer ranks--corporals and sergeants--through two hundred years of US Army history. Beginning with the birth of the Continental Army in 1775 and highlighting such events as the expansion westward, the Civil War, the Indian frontier, American expansion overseas, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the development of the Noncommissioned Officer Education System, museum exhibits portray the evolution of the noncommissioned officer in war and peace.
Using uniforms, weapons, tools, and equipment, museum exhibits present a visual image of the noncommissioned officer's duties, daily life, and accomplishments. Documents, posters, drawings, and photographs further enhance visual images provided by museum exhibits.
