| This should sound familiar to some of the old grunts around here. BAGHDAD, Iraq - Task Force 1st Armored Division soldiers from the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment began the first Iraqi Civil Defense Corps Primary Leadership Development Course for approximately 100 ICDC noncommissioned officers at Camp Muleskinner here Saturday. The PLDC is designed to build a professional noncommissioned officer corps and follows the "be, know, do" principle. It will reinforce basic soldiering skills such as land navigation, but it will focus on developing noncommissioned leaders for the ICDC. This class is the first of four and is primarily filled with senior noncommissioned officers at the first sergeant and sergeant major level. It is scheduled to last two weeks, culminating with a graduation March 11. The course instructors are U.S. Army drill instructors from Fort Sill, Okla. |
