How can an NCO maintain morale of the troops when the unit's OPTEMPO is so high, we ignore to train coach and mentor.

I'm currently dealing with this in my unit. It seems that training statistics matter more than the actual training. Morale suffers, due in large part, because the Soldiers are not getting adequate or realistic training. Like any career, waking up, being excited to go to "work" is lacking in the Army. From the joke we call PRT to the basics, clearing a building, land navigation or drill and ceremony, the training just isn't there. It's sad to say but many of the NCOs that I have the privilege to interact with just do not know how to train anymore. Let's not forget the mind numbing, ungodly amount of online courses are now a quarterly mandate. The Army, not individual units have made Army training impersonal and computer driven when it needs to be in your face and Leader led. Just sayin'...

NCO's lead from the front. Sometimes as leaders we don't realize that our morale is down and our troops feed off of us. Regardless of the units OPTEMPO, we as leaders need to look in the mirror and ask; am I part of the solution or part of the problem? Enthusiasm is contagious!!!!

Sgt Uribe,
If your soldiers know there job then the high op-tempo is a chance to showcase your skills. Go into each field problem or training exercise and try to come out as the best squad, team or platoon. Competition with your peers can be a motivation factor.
I disagree we ignore training, coaching and mentoring. TCM is all the time, it's how you as a NCO carry yourself, the respect you show others and how you do your job. You can TCM just by coming to formation on time, being in uniform and how you communicate with your soldiers. Every time you do a pmcs, or conduct a pre mission check you TCM.
Next field problem put the specialist in charge of preparing the vehicles, have the corporal assist with the op-order and have the PFC navigate out to the field. Take every opportunity to conduct AAR's and that will build morale as well.
We didn't join the Army to sit on our ass, you joined to fix utilities equipment, so enjoy what you do. I trust you will be fine and will motivate your team.
