Cartão U.S. Marines: Warrant Officer One (USMC WO-1) [3D]

Introducing project “Military Insignia 3D”, featuring top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find customizable apparel, accessories, custom postage and gifts decorated with rank insignia of a U.S. Marine Warrant Officer One (USMC WO-1). The duties US Marine warrant officers typically fulfill are those that would normally call for the authority of a commissioned officer. However, they require an additional level of technical proficiency and practical experience that a commissioned officer would not have had the opportunity to achieve. An enlisted marine can apply for the warrant officer program after serving at least eight years of enlisted service, and reaching the grade of sergeant (paygrade E-5) for the administrative warrant officer program or after serving at least sixteen years of enlisted service and reaching the grade of gunnery sergeant (paygrade E-7) for the weapons warrant officer program. If the Marine NCO is selected, he or she is given additional leadership and management training during the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC), conducted at The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia. WO-1s are technically and tactically focused officers who perform the primary duties of technical leader, trainer, operator, manager, maintainer, sustainer, and advisor. Demonstrating a proven grasp of technical skills and abilities, those who earn the rank Warrant Officer 1 in the U.S. Marine Corps play a vital role in the chain of command. Those Marines who achieve the status of Warrant Officer 1 are counted on to operate specialized equipment, gather and communicate sensitive intelligence information, and engage in a full-range of direct combat and administrative support activities. Providing first-rate analysis and technical expertise to guide the decisions of their superiors, these talented individuals are crucial to the mission success of the U.S. Marine Corps around the world.
