Interesting that a Prussian is the founder of the American Army’s NCO Corps.

In 1778, Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was appointed Inspector General of the Army. He standardized the duties and responsibilities of the NCO. The Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States Army was printed in 1779.
