OFFICER CAREERS

Commissioned Officer

Commissioned Officers are educated professionals, trained to lead other Soldiers in all situations. They receive training in general leadership and management, with increased levels of command experience as they advance.

Warrant Officer

Warrant Officers are the technical experts in the Army. They have specific technical or tactical specialties (e.g., helicopter pilots), and manage and maintain many of the Army’s combat systems, vehicles and networks. Once they reach the rank of Chief Warrant Officer Two (CW2), the President of the United States gives them the same status as a Commissioned Officer.
