Henry H. Lind NCOA Adventure

My mission is to travel across the world to different military bases or caches close by. If you have a photo of your travels, upload it so we can see where it has gone.

This travel bug is dedicated to one of the most professional group of people that I have had the pleasure of working with. "The United States Army Noncommissioned Officer" Henry H. Lind NCO Academy The Noncommissioned Officer training was originally conducted within the unit after the Korean War. In 1954, Fort Lewis established a Noncommissioned Officer Academy to consolidate and standardize training for Soldiers of the 2nd and 4th Infantry Division. In 1964, this Academy was designated as the 5th Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy as Fort Lewis began its role as a major training post for the Army during the Vietnam Era. Upon activation of the 9th Infantry Division at Fort Lewis, the Academy was re-designed in 1972 as the 9th Infantry Noncommissioned Officer Academy. In 1981, the 9th Infantry Noncommissioned Officer Academy was re-designated as the First Corps Noncommissioned Officer Academy. In 1998, the First Corps Noncommissioned Officer Academy moved from North Forth Lewis to main post in the 3200 block area. In December 2000, the Academy moved to its current location at the former Parkway Elementary School and on 2 May 2001 the academy was named in honor of CSM Henry H.Lind. In May 2005, the academy changed the training to support the Global War on Terror by adding relevant Warrior task. On 1 October 2005, the Primary Leadership Development Course was renamed Warrior Leader Course. The Academy is home to the Active Component Warrior Leader Course, Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course via VTT, and the Reserve Component Basic Noncommissioned Officer Course and Advanced Noncommissioned Officer Course.
