NCOs IN THE ARMY ACQUISITION WORKFORCE

Noncommissioned officers (NCOs) with the 51C MOS perform the vital tasks of providing procurement support for anything a unit might need and serving the commander as a business adviser, ensuring they get what’s needed, on time, to support the mission. The career field was established in December 2006 to meet the Army’s continuously increasing need for contingency contracting officers, and the contributions made by 51C NCOs are viewed as a critical asset.

The director, Louis Malle, screened relevant segments of the film for the quintet, who translated the mood into musical accompaniment. The result is hauntingly beautiful and fits the film perfectly, responding in real time to what is happening on the screen.
