History

The U.S. Army Museum of the Noncommissioned Officer at Fort Bliss is the only museum in the Army devoted solely to telling the story of the noncommissioned officer. Its exhibits trace the evolving role of the NCO in the U.S. Army from 1775 to the present through displays of equipment and uniforms. The museum is part of the Fort Bliss museum complex, which also includes the Fort Bliss Museum and the 1st Armored Division Museum, and was included in a roughly $3.5 million redesign of those facilities.
