The Non-Commissioned Officer's (NCO) origins can be traced back to the Roman Legions of Old Earth. The Romans' success in war was due to their march formations, camp preparations, and response to instructions in battle. A Roman soldier's training was long, detailed and intense. The Roman commanders had found that the tactical and administrative requirements of drilling and fielding a successful army absorbed all their time, thus necessity caused them to turn to the ranks for assistance. The upper echelons of Roman leadership picked exceptional soldiers to be leaders of 10 other soldiers, and assistants to commanders of 100 and 600 soldiers. In these roles, they were to supervise individual training, carry out their commander's plans, and perform administrative and logistical tasks. As such, they were the first "noncommissioned" officers called Principalis".
