During execution, who ensures subordinate leaders are trained and prepared?

• A. Senior NCOs
• B. Company Commanders
• C. Civilian Trainers
• D. Inspectors

Answer: (A)

During execution, Senior NCOs are the ones who train and prepare subordinate leaders. They’re closest to the troops and directly supervise day-to-day training, coaching, and readiness checks at the squad and team level. They translate the commander's training guidance into practical tasks, ensure leaders have the necessary skills through hands-on instruction, drills, and leader development activities, and provide feedback to close gaps. The company commander sets the overall training priorities and ensures resources, but the actual development of subordinate leaders happens through the guidance and oversight of Senior NCOs. Inspectors evaluate readiness, and civilian trainers aren’t the primary drivers of training in execution.
