Commissioned Officers
Commissioned officers in the Army give enlisted personnel -- including non-commissioned officers -- the orders upon which they act to conduct the Army's business. They include first and second lieutenants, captains, majors, colonels, lieutenant-colonels and generals. Non-commissioned officers can assist officers to determine the specific tasks necessary to complete a mission or project. The non-commissioned officers then ensure the tasks necessary to the commission are completed. For example, a U.S. Army lieutenant, who is a commissioned officer, might determine that a building requires repainting. He then tells a master sergeant to attend to it. The master sergeant, who is an NCO, details the job to the appropriate enlisted men of lower rank, who paint the deck.
Non-commissioned Officers
Non-commissioned officers receive orders from commissioned officers and assign tasks to lower ranking enlisted personnel. They have practical experience dealing with lower-ranking enlisted men and can translate the officer's order into specific instructions to complete the job. For example, if an officer instructs an NCO such as a master sergeant that a building needs paint, the master sergeant will communicate the officer's desire to a sergeant first class. The sergeant first class will inspect the area. He might note that the bricks need repair. If so, he tells a staff sergeant in maintenance to repair the problem. The staff sergeant will direct a sergeant to attend to the repair. The sergeant will tell the lowest-ranking NCO, a corporal, to assemble a team of privates and make the repair.
