Listen to “THE 106TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SOLDIERS WHO SOLVE THE MILITARY’S MOST…” on Spreaker.
Since 1918, the U.S. Warrant Officer has stood alongside our most successful military leaders as trusted advisors and mentors. As keepers of the Army’s technical systems, the Warrant Officer role has evolved from humble beginnings as mine planters in the Army Coast Artillery Corps of World War I to serving in more than 40 unique occupation specialties. These include ground forces, aviation, intelligence, engineering, and more. This July, the Warrant Officer cohort is celebrating its 106th anniversary.
Of all the positions of authority and responsibility, that of Command Chief Warrant Officer is probably the least known. However, this is a critical position within all branches of the military —especially within the Army Reserve — because the Warrant Officer is a steady presence with expert knowledge that helps the total Army achieve its mission. Warrant Officers are innovative integrators of emerging technologies, dynamic teachers, confident warfighters, and developers of specialized teams of Soldiers.
Although they make up less than three percent of total Army strength, Warrant Officers are responsible for training Soldiers, organizing and advising on missions, and advancing within their career specialties. The Warrant Officer cohort is comprised of more than 26,000 men and women of the active Army and Reserve components.
