  • Presented by the U.S. Army, The Infantry Noncommissioned Officer Candidate Course (TF 4118) is a short training film that provides a look at the program offered at Fort Benning, GA, from entrance qualifications to the training content up through the completion of the course. The film opens with a shot of Infantry Hall (00:30). Command Sergeant Major James A. Scott addresses the graduating class of the NCO Candidate Course (01:03). Candidates train with machine guns and batons in hand-to-hand combat (02:31). A battalion commander addresses a new class of NCO candidates (03:44). Candidates participate in exercise drills, including the Ranger Obstacle Course (05:18), then practice the basics of bayonet fighting (05:50). They are also trained in firing the M-16 rifle and the M-79 grenade launcher, as well as assembly and maintenance of the weapons (06:20). Candidates operate communications equipment and perform medical evacuation operations as part of the course. The young men study at desks next to their bunks (08:29). Candidates go through Leader Reaction Exercises in teams of five (09:37); in one exercise, they must get a wagon over a mock river. Candidates sharpen their shooting skills in the Eleven Bravo Phase II portion of the program. Teams cross a stream (11:44), run night operations, evaluate terrain, and supervise courses of actions during the training simulations. Candidates study 81 mm mortars, working on assembly, placement, crew drill, and operating the mortars (13:12). Men construct a tactical operations center (15:05). NCO candidates stand at attention (17:01). A Tactical NCO helps a candidate review a map. Candidates practice using the M2 4.2-inch heavy mortar (18:30). During “Ranger Week,” candidates participate in night patrols (20:38); the men also ford a river in camouflage, receive rations from a helicopter, and respond to surprise attacks on their camp. Candidates ask questions of officers who have recently returned from combat (23:52). Candidates graduate from the NCO program during the graduation ceremony (24:58).
    Beginning in 1967 at Fort Benning, Georgia, the US Army Non-commissioned Officer Candidate Course (NCOCC) was a Vietnam-war era program developed to alleviate shortages of enlisted leaders at squad and platoon level assignments, training enlisted personnel to assume jobs as squad leaders in combat. Based loosely on the Officer Candidate School (OCS), NCOC was a new concept (at the time) where high performing trainees attending basic infantry combat training were nominated to attend a two-phased course of focused instruction on jungle warfare, and included a hands-on portion of intense training, promotion to sergeant, and then a 12-week assignment leading trainees going through advanced training.

    My Drill Sergeants told us about this after Basic and during AIT at Ft. Benning in 1986. It was known as "Shake and Bake" during Vietnam.

      I went through Benning in 87/88. D Co 1/38 Harmony Church. I went back to where our barracks were in 2004 when I was in ANCOC. Just a barley visible outline where they once stood.

      Interesting comments. In Vietnam War lore both factual and fictional, there's the frequent cliche about the green second lieutenant being carried by is NCO, and I suppose that's common throughout modern military history for new officers. By comparison you rarely hear about inexperienced NCOs but every one of them was new in the beginning.

    Cool video. Things have changed a lot and yet, so much was familiar. I enlisted in the Army 22 years after this video was made and served for 20 years. I was 11B and had never heard of an 11F; obviously it is a TOC NCO. I think the decision to pull TOC NCO's from experienced field ranks was a much better plan than having a separate MOS. I was assigned to the TOC/S3 twice during my career, once as an E6 as the Battalion Sniper Employment Officer and then again during my second tour in Iraq when I made the E8 list I was assigned as TOC NCOIC. Having people in the Operations Center that understood what the troops on the ground were dealing with was essential.
    I also found it interesting that the NCO Academy used Rangers as trainers during several phases of the course.

    I was an Army Drill Sergeant. I played "good cop". I would take guys who were having problems and try to get them what they needed to succeed. My Drill did it for me when my knee swoll up I could have been kick out. I never forgot that debt.

    In my days , this was called P.L.D.C. , Primary Leadership Development Course. The soldiers who came back said it was very tough .(1980's).

    Can you make your timer have white text and transparent background please? It's majorly distracting.

      Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
      In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous CZcams users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
      Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films! Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.

    "Shake me bake me anyway you want to as long as you do it I'll come out E-5!" or so the song went. The reason for this school was because a lot of the old time Sergeants from Korea could't hack the Nam.

      My husband was one who didn't make it back. Missed meeting his daughter and grandchildren. What a shame. He was only in country 2 months when his LT. commanded him to cross a bridge and lead his squad across under heavy fire. He and two other members of his squad were killed.

    what a waste of time. If you have the skills to attend why do you need to go? Command if responsiable to train leaders. Another "who likes you to pass course" and spear eval for those who only want to be the best leader, not the most popular.
