Non-Commissioned Officers & Enlisted

Non-commissioned officers (NCOs) provide the ground-level command of their subordinates. This often includes the regimenting of a day, the reinforcement of training and discipline, but also includes combat and support operations. Enlisted-ranked People's Air Force personnel form a majority of the numbers of the military branch and generally speaking have no specific command responsibilities.
