Should LO # 2 And 4 Be The Top Priorities Of A Warrant Officer?

797 Words4 Pages

1. Purpose: To explain why Line of Effort (LOE) #2 and #4 should be the top priorities of the Warrant Officer 2025 strategy.

2. Facts:

a. The greatest strength of the warrant officer corps and the greatest value it brings to the Army is the knowledge and technical expertise of the warrant officer and the ability to adapt and apply that expertise to the current operating environment in order to facilitate mission accomplishment.

b. LOE #2 focuses on development of the warrant officer. The warrant officer’s technical expertise begins with Professional Military Education (PME) and is honed and strengthened through years of experience applying concepts learned in PME with lessons learned from prior experiences in the operating environment. …show more content…

Another supporting objective of LOE #2 is to fundamentally change warrant officer PME through institutional agility and unity of effort to improve future warrant officer leader development. The PME courses should be fluid enough that the curricula can be changed in a reasonable amount of time to reflect the changing environment that the warrant officers are working in. One example of this is that the PME should not wait until the end of life of a critical system to incorporate the replacement system into the POI and start teaching it. There have been times that a critical system of record had been replaced across much of the Army and students were still being taught that system and not the newer replacement system. Students that have already migrated to the replacement should not be receiving instruction on the legacy system that they will not use when they return to their units. Students that are still on the legacy system at their home units would incur a higher benefit from receiving instruction on the system that will become the new system of record than they would on a system that will soon be replaced. Once the decision to move to a new system is made, the curricula on how to operate that system should be developed so that it is ready to be implemented when the new system is ready for rollout. Instruction based on current, relevant content will produce better technicians better prepared to operate in the changing environment at their …show more content…

LOE #4 addresses the Army Profession. The first supporting objective is to promote and strengthen a professional culture of trust. Promoting a fundamental change in the culture through stewardship and esprit de corps programs is one of the key tasks in accomplishing this. Esprit de corps programs will give the warrant officers a feeling that they have a higher personal stake in the game and a heightened sense of responsibility to sustain and improve the warrant officer corps. By making a concerted effort to build these programs, the Army can foster an environment where the warrant officers take ownership of the corps. This will lead to a higher sense of purpose and responsibility when it comes to improving and strengthening it. Every unit will benefit, having better warrant officers who want to ensure the legacy of the warrant officer corps, developing better future warrant

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.

The previously mentioned principles will relate to my time as a junior officer because there will be countless occasions where I will need to rely on those around me. When I enter my first unit, it will not matter where I graduated from or what I accomplished as a civilian; What will matter is my ability to effectively lead a team of people who collectively have more experience and knowledge than I do. I realize I cannot rely on just myself to get the required job done and I will go through my own “forming, storming, norming, performing” phases. It is nearly impossible to enter into a team environment as a stranger and instantly begin “performing”. Your team must understand who you are, what your intentions are, and that you are willing to be selfless for the overall

When a squad leader listens and shows interest in soldiers’ performance, they are likely to appreciate and put effort in their work. Accountability saves time and finances. When soldiers in an organization are answerable and responsible for their actions, utilization of time and funds is adequately spent in among others, identifying solutions towards a challenge as opposed to trying to determine the problem. In this situation, accountability means that every soldier conducts their roles competently, and if a problem occurs, they raise it up instead of keeping quiet and letting it eventually create a bigger consequence. In conclusion, the building of accountability in an organization is crucial.

The IACP (2015) stated, “genuine partnership and collaboration are cornerstones of a strong relationship with the community” (p. 15). Why? Without maintaining an honest relationship, the more the officer’s will lack of support. Therefore, we must collaborate with the community and have open dialogue because IACP (2015), illustrated that “in the times of crisis or critical incident, communication must happen quickly, frequently, and honestly” (p. 15). Without honesty or trust from the community will or can have suspicion to think that their leaders are hide something.
