FM 7-22.7 — The NCO Guide
Field Manual 7-22.7 is the NCO's handbook — the history of the NCO Corps, the duties and authority of NCOs at every level, and the standards every NCO is expected to uphold and enforce.
Current edition: 23 December 2002
Questions are based on this version. If your copy shows a newer date, let us know — we'll update the question bank.
History of the NCO Corps from the Continental Army through modern operations, Von Steuben's Blue Book, NCO duties and authority, the NCO support channel, leader development pillars, NCOES, inspections, on-the-spot corrections, and the NCO creed.
FM 7-22.7 is tested at boards because it defines what an NCO is and what NCOs are expected to do. Boards ask about the NCO support channel, on-the-spot corrections, and the history of the NCO Corps. Knowing that Von Steuben established the first NCO standards at Valley Forge demonstrates the institutional knowledge boards reward.
