ABOUT US

The Noncommissioned Officer Academy (NCO Academy) at TJAGLCS is an integral part of TJAG’s “One Team” vision of combining all of the Army’s legal training at one location. The NCO Academy trains paralegal NCOs of all components: Active, Reserve and National Guard. Having been previously located at Fort Jackson, South Carolina and Fort Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, the NCO Academy was established in Charlottesville, Virginia on June 17, 2004.
