THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN SENT BY THE PENTAGON TELECOMMUNICATIONS CENTER ON BEHALF OF DA WASHINGTON DC//CSA//

SUBJECT: Warrant Officer Recruiting

Commanders exert a powerful influence over future career opportunities for Soldiers, and as a result must assume a leading role in identifying among their Soldiers the best candidates for warrant officer service.  Commanders must do their part to ensure that well-qualified NCO s, those who can take their technical skills to the next level of challenge and develop an absolute competence as a manager, developer, and integrator of specific Army systems, seek the additional responsibilities of warrant officer service. Warrant officers are the Future Force mechanism that will ensure our ability to leverage technology, administer, manage, maintain, operate, and integrate Army systems and equipment effectively across the full range of military operations.

Traditionally our serving warrant officers have been expected individually to identify and encourage likely candidates for warrant officer service. Such an informal process alone cannot support the highly technical, joint, expeditionary Army we have become.  The Army must apply the well proven, command centric retention approach to accession challenges of the warrant officer career fields.

The success of our Army depends upon commanders efforts to identify our best warriors, technicians and leaders and assure that each is channeled into the career path that maximizes their contribution to our joint, expeditionary mission.  Only in this way can we guarantee our continued preeminence among the world s armies.

Please give this your attention.  We need to continue to build a robust Warrant Officer Corps.

Expiration date can not be determined.
