Importance of Warrant Officer Professional Military Education The Army is ever changing and constantly restructuring to evolve into a more agile, more productive, and ultimately more powerful and dominant force. The Warrant Officer Corps is also continuously adapting in order to keep up with the complex environment in an attempt to stay relevant and meaningful. This evolution has found the role of the warrant officer (WO) shifting to one that looks at them more as leaders and commanders, as opposed to the “one trick pony” exclusive subject matter experts (SME). With this redefining role, responsibilities are becoming greater while promotions are becoming more competitive. In an attempt to showcase those that are truly the best of the …show more content…

WOILE is a three phase course with the first portion being a general online portion. Phase 2 and 3 are residential courses designed to provide CW3’s the intermediate level education and influential leadership skills necessary to integrate their technical expertise in support of leaders as staff officers, trainers, managers, systems integrators, and leaders at the tactical and operational levels of Army, Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) organizations executing Unified Land Operations thru Decisive Action (USACAC). Phase two is a branch immaterial course while phase three is branch specific training. WO’s face a similar problem with WOILE as they do with WOAC. Many are attending the courses a very senior CW3 or even as a CW4 therefore not setting themselves up to handle the duties and responsibilities in some cases of their current positions. CW3’s are eligible for this course after one year time in grade. The primary concern is that if they do not attend until they are senior CW3s or newly promoted CW4’s, they already have between 10 and 12 years as a warrant officer. The key component to this course is to educate WO’s on proper leadership and communication skills in order for them to more effectively influence their commanders in their new positions. Without this course, the CW2 skill level will be the one that WO’s rely on to do the job at the new level. A skillset that won’t necessarily be sufficient and therefore rendering the WO potentially ineffective and causing the commander to question the capability of the WO corps as a

From the lesson of training, I also realized the weight that officers hold when it comes to building trust, motivating, and pushing their soldiers. They are going to expect the utmost level of skill as well as professionalism that you must provide as an officer. In return, it is your right to expect the same level of excellence from your soldiers, being there to push them above the standard and holding them to being experts and professionals. This is a trait that no matter how skilled you or your soldiers may be, there will always be room for constant improvement and

Returning to the 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) to assume command as the brigade commander brings me much joy to be reunited with great Non-Commission Officers and Officers that I have previously served with. Unfortunately, this brigade is no longer the brigade I remember when I commanded a battalion within the 4th ABCT not so long ago. In the last 30 days, I have had the opportunity to observe the ABCT and review a multitude of historical documents to assess the state of the brigade. During my observation, I believe the critical leadership problem in the 4th ABCT’s is the lack of vision for the brigade. Therefore, this critical problem has led to other challenging issues within the brigade.

Literature review After being requested to West Point as administrator in 1945, I appropriately reported for directions to the Army head of staff, Dwight D. Eisenhower. Shockingly he restricted his remarks to two focuses, the significance which he joined to the honour framework and his solid feeling that the foundation should incorporate into its educational programs a formal course intended to show cadets the standards of military initiative. In his view, this had never been sufficiently attempted previously in spite of the way that the arrangement for military authority was a prime goal of West Point instruction. Equipped with this command from General Eisenhower, upon assuming control over my obligations I quickly started a basic course
