Which publication provides guidance on training and leader development within NCOPD?

• A. ADP 6-22 / ADRP 6-22
• B. ADP 7-0
• C. ADP/ADRP 7-0
• D. FM 7-0

Answer: (C)

Guidance for training and leader development in NCOPD comes from the Army’s doctrine on Training and Leader Development. The authoritative source is ADP 7-0 together with its companion ADRP 7-0. These two publications establish how training should be planned, executed, and evaluated and explain how leader development fits into daily operations and professional development programs like NCOPD. ADRP 7-0 adds the context and rationale, showing how the concepts apply across different units and levels, which helps you implement NCOPD in a way that aligns with the Army’s overall approach.

ADP 6-22/ADRP 6-22 covers leadership attributes and competencies rather than the full training and development framework, so it doesn’t provide the complete guidance for NCOPD’s training and development structure. FM 7-0, while detailing practical implementation of training and leader development in the field, is a field manual and not the primary doctrinal publication for the NCOPD framework. Therefore, the combined ADP/ADRP 7-0 is the best source for this guidance.
