SUBJECT: The Warrant Officer 2025 Strategy Lines of Effort Priority Refinement 1. Purpose: To refine the priorities of the ends, ways, and means for developing Warrant Officers 2. Facts & Refined Priorities: a. The Army Warrant Officer 2025 Strategy defines how future Warrant Officers are accessed, developed, and utilized as they continue to support the force in their exceedingly specialized role as the Army’s premier technical experts. Detailed in this strategy, are four priority Lines of Effort (LOE) that have been identified to prepare the Cohort for the future. These LOE are accessions, development, talent management/utilization, and Army Profession. Of the four, development and accessions must be the Army’s top two priority …show more content…
Development: An immediate and re-emphasized approach to the development of the Cohort must be the top priority for the Army as it pertains to the Warrant Officer 2025 Strategy. The Army’s dedication to developing the Cohort now ensures that today’s Warrant Officer is technologically agile, adaptive, and innovative. Furthermore, investing into the Cohort immediately assure that future accessed Warrant Officers are afforded mentors and leaders that are relevant and technologically advanced. This LOE requires an immediate reevaluation and refinement of the life-cycle development and utilization guidance found in DA PAM 600-3. Currently, the information and figures for Warrant Officers are broken down by proponent; this is insufficient The Army’s premier technical experts cannot be grouped together in this manner. The required attributes and training detailed in DA PAM 600-3 must address each Warrant Officer Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) independently. Doing this provides Warrant Officers and commanders with explicit guidance for professional development management that is relevant and applicable to the individual. Additionally, a formalized talent management program must be established at each installation. This program will focus exclusively on Warrant Officers professional military education (PME) and other functional training that enhances technical ability. Refinement of DA PAM 600-3 and implementing the installation talent management program are essential to ensuring the Warrant Officer Cohort is prepared to win in a complex world
The C300 course outlined joint operations and how they pertain to unified actions. In addition, the course discussed operational reach, Range of Military Operations (ROMO), and capabilities of our Sister Services. Lastly, C300 explained the types of command relationship and how they pertained to joint operations. Unified actions are those military forces, organizations, and agencies that can influence operations in a theater. These key players may have a negative or positive outcomes; due to lack of communication or even different objectives between the military and civilian leadership.
Command Expectations of a Military Intelligence Sergeant First Class Being promoted in the United States military to the rank of Sergeant First Class is the first step that a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) takes into the senior enlisted ranks. With this promotion comes a new set of responsibilities from a command’s perspective. Until this point in the career of an NCO, their respective focus has been to a team or squad. The expectations of a junior or mid-level NCO to their team or squad are often basic accountability, personnel task management, and dissemination of information. Taking the next step from Staff Sergeant into the realm of Senior NCO as a Sergeant First Class means more direct involvement with the command team of a unit and additional
SSG Coryell is a phenomenal facilitator that is mission focused within the Commander 's intent and resulted in his earning the Basic Army Instructor Badge. His performance while assigned to the NCO Academy has been stellar and recently he was recognized by the Fires Center of Excellence Headquarters Battery as NCO of the month, chosen over 850 NCOs, selected for his efforts and contributions towards the development of our junior enlisted Soldiers, in accordance with the Human Dimension White Paper written by Lieutenant General Robert B. Brown. He truly possesses the potential to accept the responsibility of a Warrant Officer and is the future of the Army. Upon speaking with SSG Coryell and examining his valiant SUAS history, I unwaveringly determined that his proven combat experience, along with his will to accomplish any task, would not only allow him to succeed but would set the standard for any Warrant Officer and Soldier to follow, while simultaneously enhancing the Unmanned Aerial Systems operational

General Odierno’s speech at the 2012 winter AUSA symposium best illustrates forth phase of the force development process, determine organizational authorizations. This is because the speech outlines the three major steps in this process which are Total Army Analysis (TAA), Program Objective Memorandum (POM) Force, and Planning Programming Budgeting and Execution (PPBE). First, when looking at the speech General Odierno focuses much of his discussion on total requirements and resources required based on priorities. This specifically comes out with capability demand analysis and the task for TRADOC to look at Brigade Combat Team design as well as warfighter assessments, other analysis, and combat modeling.

Gen. Daniels priorities and vision of an ever-changing Global Theater and how my unit and myself can be a part of the solution by moving from metrics to actual Unit readiness. Given that this workshop would be a combination of a variety of our NATO allies , I would attempt to network with other officer and attendees and professionals in our field to share ideas and build professional relationships that can benefit not only myself but possibly provide Lt. Gen. Daniels with another highly trained and motivated unit leader to allow her to accomplish her goals she has set for those under her command Lt. Gen. Daniels specifically mentions in her paper that “ Lower echelon leaders need to be able to focus on achieving readiness.”, which by attending this workshop and gaining the experience needed to really implement the change the CG is striving for , especially at a lower echelon level. The simple fact is, knowing what Lt. Gen. Daniels has set as his priorities for herself ,and the organization, she is in command of will allow me to create an action plan and set clear goals on how I can absorb as much information as possible in the limited amount of time to best benefit and implement the CG’s priorities and my Platoon and Unit
I served as the Company Supply Officer for Bravo Company 3-1 AHB, 1 CAB from September 2011 through September 2014. During this timeframe I spent countless hours and many hundreds of thousands of dollars maintaining the company supplies for daily operations. While in this position I noticed many issues that caused wasted time and energy for personnel as well as wasted money being spent needlessly. Observation 1: Improper training and manning of the Company Supply Position. Discussion 1: In an aviation company a Warrant Officer has many other duties along with being a pilot.
For a Special Force Warrant Officer (SFWO) to be effective at his position he must be able to work within the Joint Interagency Intergovernmental and Multinational (JIIM) environment. Within the JIIM environment, a SFWO must master the attribute of good interpersonal and cross cultural communication skills. This attribute is critical to his success; if a SFWO is not able to communicate with others, he will be ineffective in giving and possibly receiving important information. A SFWO may be technically sound but he needs to be able communicate what he knows and what Special Forces (SF) can bring to the table when your counterparts in the JIIM need that information in order to come up with a solution. Additionally those interpersonal skills are essential when dealing with multiple personalities from a range of different branches and agencies.

“To win in a complex world as part of joint, interorganizational and multinational effort, Army forces must have the capability and capacity to accomplish assigned missions while confronting increasingly dangerous threats in complex operational environments”. The way we fight must “evolve based upon assigned missions, the operational environment, emerging technologies and changes in enemy capabilities, objectives, and will”. In order to fight and win at the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC), the Warrior Brigade calibrated our approach and assessment of the enemy to a near-peer threat in a Direct Action Training Environment (DATE). Our analysis of the enemy threat, capability and will indicated that our Mission Command nodes were a high priority target and that a concentrated MAIN CP inevitably becomes a Target Reference Point (TRP) for an enemy force fighting with home field advantage.
My intent is to provide a clear vision to the 4th ABCT, that states, “Be the best armor brigade in the world, consisting of trained, responsible, motivated, and caring Soldiers and Families; capable of executing any assigned mission with unequaled success. The 4th ABCT has experienced several challenges that have led to ethical and moral issues along with a lack of confidence in the leadership. A vision will provide the ABCT with a motto, something to up hold. Therefore, how current business is conducted needs to change. In order, to make a change and address the challenges that 4th ABCT
I don’t think we should ever forget where we came from and our NCO lessons learned. I do believe there is a different way, time, and place to deliver or apply leadership as a warrant officer. I once heard a young
Importance of Warrant Officer Professional Military Education The Army is ever changing and constantly restructuring to evolve into a more agile, more productive, and ultimately more powerful and dominant force. The Warrant Officer Corps is also continuously adapting in order to keep up with the complex environment in an attempt to stay relevant and meaningful. This evolution has found the role of the warrant officer (WO) shifting to one that looks at them more as leaders and commanders, as opposed to the “one trick pony” exclusive subject matter experts (SME). With this redefining role, responsibilities are becoming greater while promotions are becoming more competitive.
This paper explores the complex tasks involved in keeping the United States Army the most trained and proficient military force in the world. It will look in-depth at which training is identified for Unit Commanders to train their personnel on. Training is a double edged sword in that all Soldiers must be proficient in not only the identified Basic Soldier Skills, but the critical tasks of their Military Occupation Specialty (MOS). Set rules and regulations such as the Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks (SMCT) or Soldier's Manual and Trainer's Guide (SMTG) can assist unit training personnel in identifying exactly which tasks are critical to the success of the various missions. This paper will discuss how decisions are made on determining primary and alternate tasks for completion based upon the identified mission.
