Warrant officer (United States)
In the United States Armed Forces, the ranks of warrant officer (grades W-1 to W-5) (''NATO: WO1-WO5'') are rated as officers above the senior-most enlisted ranks, including all officer candidates (OC) and warrant officer candidates (WOC) (both of whom hold enlisted grades as E-5 or above, depending upon their grade upon appointment as an OC or WOC); and cadets and midshipmen (who are considered "officers only in a qualified sense", holding a special grade above E-9 and below W-1), but subordinate to the officer grade of O-1 (''NATO: OF-1'').〔Army Regulation 600-20, Army Command Policy, Chapter 1-6., Table 1-2. Comparable grades among the services http://www.apd.army.mil/jw2/xmldemo/r600_20/head.asp |accessdate=13 April 2015〕〔Marine Corps Manual w/ch 1-3, page 2-7, paragraph 2101.1.a Officer grades in order of seniority are:, dated 21 March 1980 http://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/Publications/MARINE%20CORPS%20MANUAL%20W%20CH%201-3.pdf〕 This application differs from the Commonwealth of Nations and other militaries, where warrant officers are the most senior of the other ranks (''NATO: OR-8 and OR-9''), equivalent to the US Armed Forces grades of E-8 and E-9.
Warrant officers are highly skilled, single-track specialty officers, and while the ranks are authorized by Congress, each branch of the uniformed services selects, manages, and utilizes warrant officers in slightly different ways. For appointment to warrant officer one (W-1), a warrant is approved by the secretary of the respective service. For ''chief warrant officer'' ranks (W-2 to W-5), warrant officers are commissioned by the President of the United States and take the same oath as regular commissioned officers (O-1 to O-10).
Warrant officers can and do command detachments, units, activities, vessels, aircraft, and armored vehicles; as well as lead, coach, train, and counsel subordinates. However, the warrant officer's primary task as a leader is to serve as a technical expert, providing valuable skills, guidance, and expertise to commanders and organizations in their particular field.
==Navy==
In the United States Navy, the chief warrant officer (CWO) rank is a technical specialist who directs specific activities essential to the proper operation of the ship, which also require commissioned officer authority.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of the Warrant Officer )〕 Navy CWOs serve in 30 specialties covering five categories. CWO should not be confused with the limited duty officer in the Navy. CWOs perform duties that are directly related to their previous enlisted service and specialized training. This allows the Navy to capitalize on the experience of CWOs without having to frequently transition them to other duty assignments for advancement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Warrant Officer Programs of Other Services )〕 With the exception of the Navy's short-lived flying chief warrant officer program, all Navy warrant officers are accessed from the chief petty officer pay grades, E-7 through E-9, analogous to a senior non-commissioned officer in the other services.
