What is Mortuary Affairs?

"Train to fight, fight to win."

It is the ultimate responsibility of not only MA NCO'S but all NCO's to train their soldiers, and themselves for battle. NCO's must be skilled trainers and leaders - training soldiers to high performance standards, demonstrating technical and tactical proficiency, radiating confidence in all they undertake, and constantly seeking responsibility.

We must train in peacetime as we would train in the event of War. All training should stress that every soldier, regardless of position or assignment, has as his primary duty the obligation to fight and win.

Training at the squad/ team level is key to winning because combat at the small unit level has enormous impact on the operational level of warfare. NCO's are responsible for this individual training.

Be an example of the professional NCO in action. If you are, many of your soldiers will want to be NCO's some day.

" Training in all phases must be intensive....it must be intelligently directed so that every individual, including the last private in the ranks, can understand the reasons for the exertions he (or she) is called upon to make." - Dwight D. Eisenhower.
