Welcome Message

Hello and welcome to the Company Commander & Platoon Leader Resource Center.  My name is Charles Holmes and I am a former  Company Commander, Company Executive Officer and Platoon Leader.  

Prior to assuming Command, I searched the Internet and library for helpful resources for Company Commanders.  Although I found a few books, a website and a couple helpful articles, I couldn't find any resources specifically for part-time Commanders or Platoon Leaders.

Instead, everything was geared toward our Active Duty counterparts.  I made a vow to create a valuable website and information center to help Company Commanders and Platoon Leaders serving in the Army part-time.  This website is the result of my experiences during two years of Company Command in the Army National Guard. 

Welcome to Part-Time-Commander.com, your one-stop source for valuable tips, videos, information and helpful resources for Army Platoon Leaders and Company Commanders.  This information will help you improve your effectiveness as a leader and part-time Army Officer.  In fact, this site was designed specifically for you, the part-time leader! 

The purpose of this website is to help you become a better, more efficient and more effective Army National Guard Officer.  And, it doesn't matter what your rank is.  We have helpful resources for everyone; even NCOs.

So, take your time, grab a cup of coffee and a pen and paper.  Take notes.  If you have questions, send me an email.  I'm here to help you succeed.  What you are about to learn will definitely help you become a better, more effective leader.
