This longevity and continuity is vital to the shaping of the team, developing the long term path, and ensuring mission

The Warrant Officer Branch is like an officer but no degree is required to become a Warrant Officer. Warrant officers are labeled as subject matter experts (SME) in their field. According to Army (2011), "The Army Warrant Officer (WO) is a self–aware and adaptive technical expert, combat leader, trainer, and advisor. Through progressive levels of expertise in assignments, training, and education, the WO administers, manages, maintains, operates, and integrates Army systems and equipment across the full spectrum of Army operations.
