Non - Commissioned Officer
A non-commissioned officer (NCO) is contrasted with a commissioned officer.
Commissioned officers are made so by an official document, actually or symbolically issued by a sovereign power. In the US this is the President. In the United Kingdom it's the Queen.
Non-commissioned officers (usually) obtain their position of authority by promotion through the enlisted rank. In the US Army they are corporals and sergeants and in the navy petty officers are NCOs.

NCOs have a big impact in all conflicts.
The NCO or non-commissioned officer has always had an important role in leading troops in battle. World War II gave NCO's more power and visibility and is thought to have had the greatest impact on their status.
Wow, studied this in NCO School. The Army NCO Corps was established during the Revolutionary War by an Austrian by the name of Von Struben on direct orders of Gen. Washington. Exact year, I am not sure, but Von Struben made our NCO Corps unlike any other.
I don't understand what you are asking. However I will say that armies have had NCO's back until at least 1800, possibly even before.
The NCO can be traced back to the American Revolution but it wasn't until after the war that their responsibilities increased.
