I agree that as a warrant officer in the air traffic control community we have to remember those leadership traits we learned as NCO’s. I have seen, and heard, too many times about fellow 150A’s that take a very hands off approach to leadership when they go to the company level as platoon leaders. I feel this happens because those individuals now think they don’t have to work as hard anymore simply because they are now a warrant officer, when it is the exact opposite. As a warrant officer you are now looked upon as the subject matter expert not only by your Soldiers, but your NCO’s and commander. As an NCO Soldiers look to you as someone whom sets the example on what to do, this is exponentially truer as a warrant officer. Furthermore,
Soldiers feel unit leaders would make bad decisions in combat due to the micromanagement in the company and the Commander does not listen to recommendation from unit leaders.
Officers are taught to lead by example which means learning from the officers who came before them. As a leader in the army, a solider is constantly watched and must uphold the army core values at all times. Setting a good example for the young, non commissioned officers (NCOs) in the battalion is vital to the battalions cohesion and morale. In order to lead by example an officer is taught different leadership styles to incorporate in the field For instance, participating leadership style is especially appropriate when there is time receive input, information, and recommendations of your subordinates. The primary goal of the army is to develop the leaders of tomorrow. Leadership can always be improved on throughout life.
We as Warrant Officers have acquired both positive and negative generalizations such as being laid back, but also lazy. Our roles as leaders are often less involved than a Platoon Sergeant or RLO Platoon Leader, who have direct responsibility
Comments: Over the last week we conducted training on the following: Duties and Responsibilities of the Mid-Grade Warrant Officer and Senior Warrant Officer, Organization and Function of the SOCCE, ISOFAC, AOB, and SF BN/SOTF, Training Management, Leader Development, and Military Justice. For this Weekly Learning Assessment (WLA), I will focus on Mid-Grade Warrant Officer and Training Management.
Leadership, according to the Army doctrine, represents individuals’ ability to influence people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization (“Leadership” FM 6-22). However, the varying characteristics of individuals that the Army attracts may instill this doctrine in many different ways, leading to different representations of leadership. Some individuals choose to lead their subordinate in a stern matter, only displaying matured emotions and a “tough-loving” attitude to guide them in the right direction. Others
I do not believe that Command Chief Warrant Officers (CCWO) are appropriate at both the Battalion and Company levels within Special Forces. One only has to look at the history of the Special Forces Warrant Officer to understand why the CCWO at the Battalion and Company is an improper use of the 180A cohort. The 180A serves as the assistant detachment commander and the detachment commander in absence of an 18A. This responsibility was originally thought to be appropriate for a lieutenant, however, the Special Forces community recognized the lack of experience and need for mentorship that would accompany such a junior officer. The decision to pull from the NCO Corps those senior, experienced soldiers to serve in this vital role shows the critical thinking and unconventional nature of the Special Forces Regiment. Similarly, the Operational Detachment-Bravo (ODB) uses a 180A as an Operations Officer/Chief of Staff in conjunction with an Executive Officer (XO) at the Company level. This Operations Officer role should be thought of as the S3 of a battalion, but at the company level. Similarly, as the 180A manages all of the staff
Being a Probation Officer can be interesting and challenging at the same time. You can make a positive impact on one’s life. A Probation Officer’s main role is to make sure that those released into his care are properly rehabilitated and obey to the terms of their probation. The officer also educates those released on probation on what they can and can’t do during the probation period
How does the ability to conduct legal searches differ between the police officer, probation officer, and corrections officer in the performance of their duties? There are vast and simiular reasons that all of these officers have to conduct legal searches.
While serving as a Cavalry Scout I chose to shift my focus to better utilize my leadership abilities and become a U.S. Army Warrant Officer. By earning the rank of Sergeant I developed into a very compete young leader. I have much potential and want to serve as a U.S. Army Warrant Officer. My dream is to be a U.S. Army Aviator. When I first served with Warrant Officers while deployed to Iraq, I knew that is where I wanted to take my career. To be able to lead not only from the front, but to demonstrate courage and leadership from the air. Warrant Officer Aviators are crucial to Cavalry Scout missions. My potential and leadership abilities to learn fast and adapt to stressful situations will be better used as a U.S. Army Aviator. Throughout
As a Warrant Officer and especially as a student I am full of outlooks. This class is just the next big step of my career and is one of the building blocks I need to improve my communication and writing skills. This paper explores and exposes all my expectations as a student. However, the outlooks detailed in my paper are not necessary the same expectations and /or opinions of any of my classmates, we all have our share of things we expect from the class.
Leadership traits and principals are taught and instilled from day one in boot camp where recruits are trained to be the world’s finest leaders, regardless of age or rank. While a leader can be of any rank, a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) must earn the trust and respect of their subordinates. I believe that the one principle that is lacking most among my peers is the principle leading by example. Leading by example does not come easy because you are setting the bar of exception at your desired rate. If you’re challenged by a subordinate and they raise the bar higher, you as the NCO must meet or exceed that standard.
The Creed of the Noncommissioned Officer states, “No one is more professional than I,” “I will strive to remain technically and tactically proficient,” and “All soldiers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership.” As America transitions from a nation at war to a nation at the ready, it is imperative as noncommissioned officers, that we remember those responsibilities set forth in the creed in which we live by as we forge our next generation of soldiers and leaders. How we forge our future leaders, train our soldiers, and how we develop ourselves as noncommissioned officers is outlined in Army Regulation 350-1, Army Training and Leader Development. From
For an example, Lieutenant McDonough had to learn how to deal with enlisted men for the first time. His soldiers were used to a distant, unpresent platoon leader who left all the leadership to the non-commissioned officer, so when he arrived, they treated him like a the clueless officer that they had before him. McDonough had to earn trust with his men and show them that he was willing to go out on patrols with them and reprimand them if they were being insubordinate. He struggled with this balance of trust and authority especially with the new soldiers he was sent after losing some of his originals in battle. He knew he had to utilize his NCO platoon sergeant, Hernandez, but Hernandez felt usurped because, when the previous platoon leader was in charge, he had most of the command of the soldiers in battle, and Lieutenant McDonough seemed to have taken some of that from him. McDonough, although having done his job, had to make repairs to that relationship with his

Patrol Officers are not assigned a case to try and solve. In most major cities police departments have enough personal to cover every aspect of a crime, however, the role of the patrol officer during investigations has increased. On page 23, in the book, under the patrol officer as an investigator, it mentions that the role of the patrol officer has been limited, however, as time continues that same role seem to increase. The role of the patrol officer has taken over some of the same responsibilities as the investigators have. Such as providing immediate assistance to victims, locates witness, and interviews both victims and witnesses. Also, the patrol officer has the authority to initiate and complete investigations of certain
