2-8 Leader development lines of effort Pg.9
f. The Army uses talent management fundamentals across all learning domains including assignment progression, development opportunities, broadening opportunities, and outside influences to provide leaders with the experiential opportunities required to reach full potential. 

2–14. Assignments 
Key Developmental assignments:
TL, SL, PSG/Section SGT, 1SG, CSM
(1) Broadening developmental opportunities. Examples of broadening through developmental assignments are Joint, NATO, drill sergeant, recruiter, AIT platoon sergeant, instructor, ROTC, inspector general (IG) NCO, brigade-level sexual assault response coordinator or sexual harassment/assault response and prevention coordinator, and EOA assignments. Mostly, these assignments are MOS-immaterial and challenge the NCO to increase their knowledge of Army policy and programs, increase skills beyond their CMF by performing the required duties of the assignment, and encourage growth as well as mentorship of these key attributes: character, presence, and intellect. 

(2) Broadening education opportunities. Examples of broadening through education are fellowships with degree completion, attending other DOD leadership academies, professional reading, and completing college courses leading to a degree. Education beyond the required professional military education for promotion increases the potential for leaders to serve in diverse assignments while enhancing growth in both leadership attributes and competencies. 

(3) Broadening training opportunities. Examples of broadening through training opportunities are TWI, credentialed functional training within and outside the CMF, strategic broadening seminars, and training in Joint and multinational environments. Continuous pursuit of training enhances lifelong learning and increases broader development of the key leader competencies leads, develops, and achieves. 

(4) Other broadening opportunities (experiences). Examples of other broadening experiences are working in JIIM environments, congressional fellowship, working as a defense attaché, the White House Transportation Agency, selection— or working with—Special Operations forces, and future opportunities requiring a broader understanding not currently defined. Other opportunities and experiences enables the NCO cohort to remain adaptive and flexible in recognizing broadening opportunities that develop leadership competencies. 


3–8. Cross-component elements 
Active Component (AC) NCO assignments in USAR and ARNG units, and USAR and ARNG NCO assignments in AC units, are career-enhancing, broadening opportunities that expand an NCO's knowledge of the total Army's capabilities, training, and manning. NCOs from the AC serving in RC units and RC NCOs serving in AC units synchronizes cross-component understanding, career development, and future operations for both components.
