The Society began as the Center for the Advanced Studies of the US Army Noncommissioned Officer which wass established on 26 May 2006 as a spin-off from the popular websites Squad-leader.com and Firstsergeant.com, first started in 1997 as the NCO Website. From the earliest beginnings there was always a place on those sites dedicated to capturing and highlighting the history of the noncommissioned officer Corps. The sites were donated to the US Army in October 2005 to serve as the nucleolus of their professional forum effort as NCOnet, yet the NCO History portions were retained by Elder..<\/p>

A new site sprang up in the resulting months that was to be dedicated completely to capturing, storing and making available historical documents on the NCO Corps. The curator (and volunteers) scour numerous sources collecting, rendering and posting documents to the Center via its online repository. This free site is part of the larger suite of websites developed and owned by\u00a0TBSVet<\/a>.<\/p>
