Background: The United States Army Sergeants Major Academy (USASMA) was established on 1 July 1972 and began instruction in January 1973. Our curriculum design broadens the student's current knowledge base. This approach differs from the Military Occupation Specialty (MOS) related training at the basic and advanced levels of the Noncommissioned Officer Education System (NCOES). The prime educational technique employed throughout the course is the small group participatory learning process. USASMA is the lead agent for all NCOES development. More than 500 international students have attended the Sergeants major Course in residence at the Academy since it began accepting international students in July 1986.
