Warrant officers perform duties that are directly related to their previous enlisted service and specialized training.[29] With the exception of the Navy's short-lived flying chief warrant officer program,[30] all Navy warrant officers are accessed from the chief petty officer pay grades, E-7 through E-9, and must have a minimum of 14 years of service.[31]Background[edit]Navy warrant collar insignias (1951–1956)Left: Commissioned Warrant Officer Right: Warrant OfficerThe Navy has had warrant officers among its ranks since 23 December 1775, when John Berriman received a warrant to act as purser aboard the brigantine, USS Andrew Doria. That warrant was considered a patent of trust and honor, but was not considered a commission to command. Since this first appointment, Navy warrant officers have held positions as masters, masters' mates, boatswains, gunners, carpenters, surgeons, and chaplains.[28] Until 1912, a midshipman graduating from the United States Naval Academy was required to have two years of sea duty as a warrant officer before receiving a commission as an ensign.[32]Although based on the British Royal Navy warrant officer ranks that were in place until 1949, the United States had never needed to address an issue of social class, which resulted in warranted officers in the Royal Navy.[33] However, the United States Navy experienced a similar issue of rank, where senior non-commissioned officers are required to report to junior officers, giving rise to special status to the Navy's chief warrant officers.[33]In 1995, the Navy ceased using the rank of warrant officer 1 (WO-1), also known as pay grade W-1.[34] The Navy appoints their warrant officers directly to the rank of CWO2 (i.e., as chief warrant officers), and are "commissioned" officers,[clarification needed] with the Navy Personnel Command/Bureau of Personnel (NAVPERSCOM/BUPERS) managing all grades (CWO2 through CWO5) by billets appropriate for each rank. In past years, some CWOs resigned their warrant commission prior to retirement to receive greater retirement pay at their former senior enlisted rank.[35]Flying chief warrant officer[edit]CWO2 DaCosta performs pre-flight setup on a P-3 Orion during the platform phase of the Chief Warrant Officer Flight Training Program (2009)The Navy started a Flying Chief Warrant Officer Program in 2006 to acquire additional naval aviators (pilots) and naval flight officers (NFOs), who would fly naval aircraft, but who would not compete with traditional unrestricted line (URL) officers in naval aviation for eventual command of squadrons, air wings, air stations, etc., the numbers of such commands which had been greatly reduced in the post-Cold War era, thereby limiting the command opportunity for URL pilots and NFOs.Upon being commissioned as CWO2, selectees underwent warrant officer indoctrination and then flight school for 18 to 30 months. After completion of flight school, selectees were placed in one of four types of squadrons: ship-based Helicopter Maritime Strike (HSM) or Helicopter Sea Combat (HSC) squadrons, and land-based fixed-wing maritime patrol and reconnaissance (VP) and fleet air reconnaissance (VQ). These pilots and NFOs were then trained to operate the P-3 Orion, the EP-3E Aries II, the E-6 Mercury, or variants of the MH-60 Seahawk. Those in the VP community would also eventually qualify to fly the P-8 Poseidon once that aircraft began replacing the P-3 in 2012. The Navy re-evaluated the program in 2011, when the last of the "flying" chief warrant officers reported to their operational fleet squadrons and opted to subsequently terminate the program. Enlisted sailors in the grades E-5 through E-7 who had at least an associate degree and were not currently serving in the diver, master-at-arms, nuclear, SEAL, SWCC, or EOD communities were eligible to apply.[29][30][36]Reestablishment of warrant officer one[edit]US Navy Warrant Officer One combination cover deviceOn 4 June 2018, the chief of naval operations announced the reestablishment of the rank of warrant officer one (pay grade W-1), for cyber warrant officers, and solicited applications for the rank/grade.[37] These warrant officers will receive their appointment via warrant and not via commission.[37] They will incur a six-year service obligation once promoted to W-1. A minimum of three-years in grade with a total service time of 12 years must be achieved before appointment and commission to chief warrant officer (W-2).[37] However, the president also may grant appointments of warrant officers in the grade of W-1 via commission at any time,[4] and the secretary of the Navy may also appoint warrant officers in that grade via commission, through additional regulations.[4] In mid-December 2018, the Navy announced that six selectees had been named. They will wear a distinctive cap badge with two crossed anchors.[38]
