US Army Warrant Officers are technical experts, combat leaders, trainers, and advisors who specialize, throughout an entire career, in a specific technical area. The US Army Warrant Officer cohort comprises less than three percent of the total US Army strength. Although small in size, the level of responsibility is immense and only the very best are selected to become US Army Warrant Officers. The Warrant Officer serves as the technical and tactical experts, as the leader of a team, and are highly trained in their field.
We are looking for the ELITE members of the force. If you are driven to excel, competent in your field, and believe you have the qualities to stand out from the average and mediocre, GIVE US A CALL!

Ready For The Challenge - Start The Process
Contact the Warrant Officer Strength Managers to help determine eligibility. Once you have met the administrative requirements and the Warrant Officer MOS specific prerequisites, the next step is assembling a Predetermination Packet application for submission to Proponent.
Upon acceptance of Proponent and Federal Recognition you will attend Warrant Officer Candidate School.
Federal or State School - Choice Your Path
The mission of the Warrant Officer Candidate School is to educate, train, and inspire candidates so that each graduate is an officer who is a leader of character committed to doing what is right legally, morally, and ethically both on or off duty. An officer who is committed to professional growth through life-long learning; and who embraces the requirements of selfless service to subordinates, superiors, our Nation, and the Constitution. Training, Advising, and Counseling (TAC) Officers along with academic instructors prepare, coach, teach, mentor, train, advise plus counsel candidates, preparing them to assume responsibilities of a U.S. Army officer
Federal Warrant Officer Candidate School (5 weeks) at Fort Rucker
State Warrant Officer Candidate School (preferred) held one weekend/month (during IDT) + Two week final phase (Annual Training) for approximately 6 months.
You will be appointed Warrant Officer One upon graduation.
Received Your Appointment, Now off to Skills Training
Next you will attend your follow on WO MOS training, Warrant Officer Basic Course.
The purpose of the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC) to certify warrant officers as
technically and tactically competent to serve as warrant officers in a designated specialty. WOBC is the first major test a newly appointed officer must pass to continue serving in the Army as a warrant officer, as W01 appointments and award of a Warrant Officer MOS are contingent upon successfully completing WOBC.
WOBC prepares newly appointed officers for their first duty assignments and all subsequent assignments as W01s/CW2s. This course is proponent (branch) developed and administered to all warrant officers upon completion of Warrant Officer Candidate School. The primary focus of WOBC is MOS specific, augmented with common-core subjects. The common-core subjects are designated by a Task Site Selection Board and monitored by the Warrant Officer Career College.
Timeline for Warrant Officer Basic Course varies according to specialty.
