Stand Strong Stewardship- An NCOs Perspective
The Center for Army Leadership
Oct. 6, 2014 | 26:05
SSG John Diem served in the 101st Airborne Division’s 502nd Infantry Regiment and deployed to Iraq in 2005.
During this deployment, members of his unit raped a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and executed her and her family. SSG Diem was not a witness of this act, but was told about it by a junior Soldier. He reported the incident to his higher headquarters.
He is sharing his story to share his thoughts on the role of an NCO as a Steward of the Army Profession.
