The SNCOs of the military are said to be the Backbones of the Force because they are the members who possess the greatest wealth of knowledge, training, and experience in all matters of the military. Improving the quality of leadership available to subordinate ranks, and guidance to Higher ranks also, ensures the continuance of the Force and improving upon its already high standard of performance.

At the closing ceremony, the Guest Speaker, Warrant Officer (ret) Philmore Mullins spoke at length about the importance of SNCOs to the process of developing soldiers to be their best.

When the backbone is at its strongest, the posture of the ABDF stands tall and proudly as a professional force Ready To Serve the nation of Antigua and Barbuda.
