EP50 – The Marine NCO in Combat in WWII w/Steven McCloud

from The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast · host Joe Muccia

Send us Fan MailNoncommissioned Officers, or NCOs, have long been considered the backbone of the Marine Corps. But the crucible of combat in World War II tested the NCO corps like no other event. They acted as the continuity, institutional knowledge and experience, and many times, the moral compass for the young Leathernecks in their charge. Steven McCloud returns to the pod to discuss with Joe the immense value of these men and their contributions to the overall success of the Marine Corps in WWII, as seen through the eyes of veterans of several Marine units. If you'd like to become a Patreon supporter of The "We're Not Lost, Private" Podcast, check us out here: https://patreon.com/WereNotLostPrivatePodcast You can check us out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/@WereNotLostPrivatePodcast If you like the pod, please hit like, subscribe and share!You can listen to us on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and a host of other podcatchers.We're also on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/werenotlostprivate1944   and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WereNotLostPrivate   To learn more about Steven’s Trident Leadership project, head over to this link:  https://www.tridentleadership.com/ Support the show
