A Warrant Officer is a rank within the US and many other armed forces that is between the rank of a Non-Commissioned Officer (which is any of the sergeant or chief ranks) and an Officer (such as Ensign or 2nd Lieutenant) The rank of Warrant Officer was created so that individuals with certain technical specialties could be placed in a higher grade than the enlisted, but yet not have all the responsibilities of an Officer. For example during Viet Nam, many helicopter pilots were Warrant Officers. Today, many of the Army's helicopter pilots are Warrant Officers.
A generic abbreviation for Warrant Officer is WO. However, the abbreviation usually directly relates to the appropriate rank. The ranks are W1=WO1, W2=CW2, W3=CW3, W4=CW4, and W5=CW5. CW stands for Chief Warrant Officer.
regular close just like me and you , but they must show a badge and a warrant issued by the court with the person who they are looking for with their name, picture , and address for which they have the right to search and arrest.. trust it happend to me today .. they had the wrong person who dont live here but my address.. but orderd by the court.... they still have a right to search my home and make an arrest for that person on the warrant if found ..
Because Warrant Officers fall right below the lowest Officer and right above the highest Enlisted serviceman. Warrant Officers are commissioned by the head of their branch of service. Officers are commissioned by the President of the US.
They do not. However a Marine Gunner is a highly skilled and trained individual and a young Marine Lieutenant is taught at The Basic School to respect their expertise.From an Army perspective:Agreed, a W2 does not outrank an O-1 (2nd Lieutenant), however Army Warrants are so specialized in their jobs, that very few officers would ever buck one or try to overstep one and not get his end, rear, one each handed to him by a higher ranking officer, typically the Warrants CO.
In most armies, a Warrant Officer was a rank just below Lieutenant. Anything from Lieutenant and above is referred to as a commissioned officer.The natural progression of ranks would be private then up through grades of Sergeants (names vary by country) and then Warrant Officer. Then the next step would be an officer, beginning with a 2nd Lieutenant (in the US).
The U.S. Navy has many different ranks. These ranks include Seaman Recruit, Seaman Apprentice, Seaman, Petty Officer 3rd Class, Petty Officer 2nd Class, Petty Officer 1st Class, Chief Petty Officer, Senior Chief Petty Officer, Master Chief Petty Officer, Fleet and Commander Master Chief Petty Officer, Chief Warrant Officer 2, Chief Warrant Officer 3, Chief Warrant Officer 4, Chief Warrant Officer 5, Ensign, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Captain, Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral Chief of Navy Ops, and Fleet Admiral.
The rank of Corporal and Leading Seaman are equivalent. The next level up is Sergeant (army) Petty Officer (navy). Although the American Navy turfs in a few extra pay grades under the Petty Officer rank. On the other hand the British Navy skips the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class and goes right to Petty Officer 1st Class from Leading Seaman. Petty Officer 1st Class is equivalent to Warrant Officer in the Army. Confused?
