The Role of Warrant Officer The role of the Warrant Officer in the United States Army is not difficult to define, but I believe it hard to see because we were always the quiet professional behind the scenes. The Army defines a Warrant Officer as “a self-aware and adaptive technical expert, combat leader, trainer and advisor. Through progressive levels of expertise in assignments, training and education, the warrant officer administers, manages, maintains, operates, and integrates Army systems and
In my time both as an NCO and as a Warrant Officer, I have seen that my basic responsibilities and competencies have always remained the same, namely to be a leader to my subordinates. So many of us try to draw some huge distinction between our time as an NCO and as a WO. I say there is no difference beyond the level at which we lead and the level of the people we directly influence. Ask yourself, “How many people do I directly supervise or influence?”. The Army, in its infinite wisdom, has developed
When I first became a Warrant Officer I was unaware of how elite and prestigious the Corps was. As a young Warrant Officer, I constantly grow as a leader, teacher, student and peer. Every day is a new challenge and test. I greet most days with confidence and assurance while others are met with apprehension and uneasiness. Despite what each day holds, one thing remains constant; I love being part of the Corps. b. Upon making my reservation for Warrant Officer Advanced Course (WOAC) I was met

What I thought would be a relaxing day for me as an American Army Soldier at Camp Warhorse in Baqubah, Iraq proved to be untrue. It was the morning of May 28th 2003 after a "normal night" consisting of a somewhat manageable sleep schedule despite the frequent mortar attacks on our camp. Emerging from my Colman tent I started my daily routine, shaving my face using the drivers side mirror of my humvee to see myself, and using my canteen cup to rinse my shaver. After cleaning up I ate cold chicken
As a Field Grade Warrant Officer, why should you analyze and be familiar with organizational communication processes and methodologies? Further, why is it important that you are familiar with organizational communication as a leader in the army? Effective leaders make it a point to know the inner workings of their organization/association to ensure they are able to get what they need to be successful as well as provide what is needed to be an asset to that organization/association. Effective leaders
In the story of The Monkey’s Paw, Sergeant-Major Morris delivered a monkey’s paw to the White family, Mr. White, Mrs. White, and Herbert White. Mr. White accepted the monkey’s paw, but knew it could be very dangerous. Mrs. White and Herbert were skeptical at first, so they insisted Mr. White wish for something. Mr. White wished for two hundred pounds, not thinking anything negative would happen, although that was not the case. They joked about the two hundred pounds, not knowing they would get it
Building a Team The most effective commanders through their leadership build cohesive teams. Mutual trust, shared understanding, and accepting prudent risk serve as just a few principles for mission command.

led to your arrest.

be searched isn't necessarily a direct crime scene but it could provide our team with some valuable information as to the motive of the two shooters. If consent is not given from parents, I would like to obtain search warrants for both the homes of the shooters. In that search warrant I would hope to obtain all the belongings of both shooters and sift through everything to try and find an explanation for their actions. The most important things I hope to find are personal items such as phones, computers

I am about to introduce you to my “Leader of Influence,” the man who most shaped my understanding of the role of the Non-Commissioned Officer. Over the years I have learned many lessons in leadership from different NCOs and civilians I have worked under, as well as various commanders. It is my hypothesis that the leader who will most affect one’s career is that first leader who spends the time to mentor the young Soldier. The leader who had the most influence over me was Staff Sergeant James M
