Pretend the Army has done away entirely with commissioned officers. All roles have been filled by NCOs and the proper authority and training has been received and delegated, to include positions of command. AR 600-20 undergoes few if any rewrites as the term "commander" simply applies to NCOs now. Warrant officers are now warrant sergeants. The special representation from congress and the constitution that was enjoyed by officers is now given to NCOs serving in select roles. Some positions are removed as they are now seen as redundant, such as platoon leader and OIC roles. There is no longer an NCO support channel, just one direct channel from soldiers upwards.

Lower enlisted wouldn’t have to go find a lost LT on the Land Nav course for one.

You actually go looking for your LT? That's generous.

With proper training and schooling I have no doubt that senior NCOs can run units. As a commander that is an attribute that I want. Should I go down as a commander I don't want the unit to miss a heart beat.

The DA would save an astronomical amount of money from not having to pay, house, and arm all these officers.

Or, you could balance out the difference and pay soldiers more.

Maybe certain NCO positions should get paid more. But when I was an E4, I thought my pay was more than adequate for the amount of responsibility I held. I definitely think Drill Instructors, AIT Cadre, 1SG's, and personnel stationed in Alaska would be happy to receive a pay raise. Just my opinion.
