The Chief of Staff of the Army, General Randy George, unveiled continuous transformation as a focus area for the Army in October 2023 during the annual Association of the United States Army (AUSA) convention. Since then, the United States Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy (USANCOA) operationalized that focus area with meaningful and impactful change.
Formerly known as the Noncommissioned Officer Leadership Center of Excellence (NCOLCoE), the institution officially changed its moniker to USANCOA on 6 March 2026. So why the change? The obvious answer is because the Army directed a name change that was intuitive and represented the mission of the institution. NCOLCoE, in itself, was not intuitive and didn’t truly represent the mission of the organization. According to Army Regulation 5-22 The Army Force Modernization Proponent System, a center of excellence is a force modernization proponent, responsible for DOTMLPF-P integration. That was not the mission of NCOLCoE. Instead, the organization was renamed USANCOA to unite all NCO Professional Military Education (PME) under one academy for the Army and to represent what the organization is for – training and education of NCOs across the Army.
