Don't know the source of your quote, but it starts out with an oxymoron, "commissioned warrant officers". They area either one or the other. He is probably confusing the contemporary situation with the situation that existed in the Vietnam era, when Army WO's were indeed "just" WO's, so to speak. A few years back the Army came up with this nifty plan to "commission" its senior CWO's (which would I guess make your "oxymoron" a reality) so that they could meet all of the requirements set forth for commissioned officers (i.e., UCMJ stuff, command, etc.)--not sure how it all turned out in the end, but I *think* they made it happen. If there are any serving CWO's out there, feel free to correct that view. There are "just" WOs and Commissioned Warrant Officers now. The WO1 rank is not a Commissioned Warrant Officer, but all CWO2 through CWO5 ranks are Commissioned Warrant Officers. Last I knew: Army has WO1 - CWO4 (may have adopted CWO5 by now) The CWO-5 grade has been used in the Army since around 1999/2000. Brooks Air Force has no Warrant Officers Navy and Marines have CWO2 - CWO5 (no longer any WO1s) John Weiss LCDR, USN, Ret (not a Warrant Officer) |
