NCOA Mission
The Non Commissioned Officers Association (NCOA), a Military Service Organization (MSO), was created in 1960 to address quality of life issues for enlisted members of our Active, Reserve, National Guard, Retired, and Veteran members of all branches of the Armed Forces as well as their families. As we have evolved, education, work force development, employment, legislative advocacy and the quality of life within our communities as well as the physical and mental health of our enlisted service men and women and their families have become our primary aim.

NCOA Creed
It is with the conception and full understanding that many things of great need and importance can be accomplished in unity and cooperation. Thus do the members of the Non Commissioned Officers Association of the United States of America agree to join their efforts and strength to work together for the well-being of the individual, the group, and for the greatest benefit of our beloved nation.

NCOA International Auxiliary Creed
Having a keen sense of responsibility, being true Americans, and bearing in mind the Creed of the Non Commissioned Officers Association, the members of the International Auxiliary do band together to aid, assist and promote in all matters pertaining to the welfare, social and patriotic work for the benefit of the Non Commissioned Officers Association, its members and their families. Thus, do we associate and declare these principles to be the foundation and the constitution of the International Auxiliary of the Non Commissioned Officers Association of the United States of America.
