The success of a Marine infantry unit relies heavily on its small unit leaders. The Marine Corps has placed a strong emphasis in training its small unit leaders and has stressed the importance of the 'strategic corporal' and learning and applying the concept of distributed operations. In the Marine aviation community, small unit leadership is not held to the same high standard due to the nature of aviation billets and the small ratio of non-commissioned officers (NCO's) to non-NCO's. In fact, a leadership gap exists between the aviation community and infantry community. Small unit leadership in the aviation community needs to be developed to the same level as it has been developed in the infantry community to improve force readiness.
