This white paper, "Reclaiming the Backbone," argues that the US Army must drastically reform its training methodology by shifting authority and focus from centralized officer-led processes to empowering the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) corps. The central problem identified is the erosion of NCO responsibilities, turning them into administrative "babysitters" rather than tactical leaders, which risks the lethality of the force. To solve this, the document proposes implementing high-repetition, "gamified" training environments (like competitive "Woodsball" utilizing actual combat equipment) to engage the digitally native "Call of Duty" generation and build cohesive teams. Crucially, this requires a fundamental cultural change where senior leadership provides genuine "top cover," accepting equipment attrition and minimizing punitive investigations to prevent risk aversion from crippling initiative in training and, ultimately, in combat. The accompanying memorandum solidifies this by establishing a command policy that prioritizes tactical aggression over property accountability.
