What is the required action if a Soldier is found to have insufficient performing standards in NCOES?

If a Soldier is found to have insufficient performing standards in the Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES), the appropriate course of action is to evaluate for possible removal from the course. This process is crucial because NCOES is designed to ensure that Soldiers meet the necessary competencies and standards required for their roles.

Removing a Soldier from the course is a measure that underscores the importance of maintaining high performance standards within the NCO ranks. It allows for the identification of performance-related issues that could hinder not only the individual's development but also the effectiveness of the unit as a whole. Evaluating a Soldier for possible removal ensures that the integrity and effectiveness of the training program are upheld.

In contrast, reinstating their position immediately would not address the underlying performance issues and could compromise the quality of the training. Barriers to attending other courses may not provide a constructive path for improvement. Providing a mentor could be beneficial, but it does not address the immediate concerns regarding the Soldier’s inadequate performance within the course context. Thus, evaluating for possible removal is the most appropriate and formalized action to take in response to insufficient performance standards in NCOES.
