In the U.S. military, leadership and supervisory responsibilities are expected out of the same individual, whether commission or non-commissioned officer. If you wear the rank, you undergo the training. Of course, a Doctor wearing the rank of LTC isn't given the same training as a LTC that is an infantry officer, but if he couldn't make it through OCS, ROTC, or the Academy, he wouldn't be an officer. Period.
As I said, chalk up to necessities of plot and the ignorance of the writer. As he admitted, he is not familiar with military operations, which is why the maps didn't look like anything you would have actually seen in any SITREP.
