Where can you trace the lineage of the NCO?

Answer 1

The Roman Army about 2,000 years ago. A junior NCO was a Sesquiplicarius- literally, a pay-and-a-half man. His pay was 50% more than a "sandal man" or foot soldier.

Answer 2

In the US Army, it can e traced back to Valley Forge. In the early days of the American Revolution, little standardization of NCO duties or responsibilities existed. In 1778, during the long hard winter at Valley Forge, Inspector General Friedrich von Steuben standardized NCO duties and responsibilities in his Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States (printed in 1779). His work, commonly called the Blue Book, set down the duties and responsibilities for corporals, sergeants, first sergeants, quartermaster sergeants and sergeants major, which were the NCO ranks of the period.
