a ceremony Oct. 6, 2011 in Kaiserslaut- ern, Germany.
“It has amazed me to watch the changes in contracting over the years, and how the evolution has reflected on NCOs,” said Fernandez, who is the first CSM of the 409th CSB. “Today’s NCOs are more educated, and as it stands today, most NCOs make a conscious decision to join the contracting profession. I think con- tracting has come a long way.”
The creation of CSM positions at brigade and battalion levels in contracting organi- zations, and the placement of acquisition NCOs in senior enlisted advisor posi- tions, allow contracting NCOs to serve at higher levels in the Army.
