The AGR Training NCO has a vital role is the success of his or her Army National Guard company.
In most units, the Training Sergeant works with the full-time Supply Sergeant and Administration Sergeant and works directly for the Readiness NCO.
The primaries duties of the Training NCO include schools and training. He or she enrolls soldiers in school, ensures they are prepared for training, and follows up with the soldiers as needed. The Training NCO also resources training areas and training equipment for drill weekend and Annual Training.
As a company commander, it's important that you work with your full-time AGR Staff. Most of the time, you will work with the Readiness NCO and let him or her give guidance to the AGR Staff members.
While I was in company command, I formed a good working relationship with all my AGR staff. If you are in command, you need to do the same thing.
One way to build a relationship with your AGR staff is through effective counseling. You should sit down with your entire staff and determine responsibilities and goals.
Each staff member should have a list of priorities. I call these the big 3. These priorities are the most important things they do.
For instance, your Training NCO's priorities might be (1) schools, (2) resourcing training areas and equipment, and (3) assisting the Readiness NCO as needed.
Once they know their priorities, they know how to effectively manage their time.
In summary, your Training NCO has a really important job. And, they will have a major impact on whether or not the company commander is successful.
