(U) Purpose: The Sergeant Major (SGM) Larry L. Strickland Educational Leadership Award (SELA) is a non–federal award of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA). This award honors the memory of SGM Larry L. Strickland (Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), for Army Personnel Sergeants Major); a victim of the September 11th terrorist attack on the Pentagon. He represents all soldiers and civilians lost in the Global War on Terrorism. SGM Strickland was an outstanding soldier who cared deeply about mentoring members of the enlisted force and believed “If you educate the noncommissioned officer (NCO), you educate the soldiers they lead." The SELA is awarded on an annual basis to an NCO that exemplifies the ability to educate, develop, and train soldiers in the Army’s profession of arms by strengthening the stewardship through commitment, responsibility, and accountability to ensure development of future generations.
(U) The importance of the NCO shaping our future leaders is a key component to build cohesive teams that are highly trained, disciplined, fit, and are ready to fight and win. While strengthening the profession requires committed leaders at every echelon, living the Army values and enforcing standards and discipline is paramount.
