    While officers think they run the army, the document states that the career non-commissioned officers (NCOs) actually run the army due to their experience. NCOs remain calm and provide guidance to new second lieutenants. Although officers dictate goals, it is the job of NCOs to implement them and ensure they are achieved. The document provides an example from Sandhurst where officer cadets were asked how to dig a trench, with the correct answer being to ask the sergeant to dig the trench.

    Officers think they run the army, they are wrong, the army is run by the

    career NCOs. Calm, “been there, done that, got the T shirt,” unflappable
    but perpetually surprised as the antics of brand new 2nd lieutenants. Offic-
    ers may tell you what they want to occur and it’s your job to make it hap-
    pen. At Sandhurst there was once a question to officer cadets, “how do you
    dig a trench?” The correct answer is “sergeant, I want a trench dug.”
