In September 1939, Canada’s tiny army began its remarkable
expansion into a wartime force of almost half a million soldiers.
Building the Army’s Backbone tells the story of how senior
leadership created a corps of non-commissioned officers (NCOs) that
helped the burgeoning force train, fight, and win. This innovative
book uncovers the army’s two-track NCO production system: locally
organized training programs were run by units and formations, while
centralized training and talent-distribution programs were overseen
by the army. Ultimately, this two-pronged system produced a corps
of NCOs that collectively possessed the necessary skills in
leadership, tactics, and instruction to help the army succeed in
battle.
