Those interested in becoming Warrant Officers must be selected for
Warrant Officer Candidate School (WOCS), which is generally held in Fort
Rucker, Alabama. Technical specialty applicants must be Staff
Sergeant/E-6 or higher to be considered for selection. There is no
minimum grade requirement for aviation applicants.
The school is designed to assess candidates’ potential for appointment
as Warrant Officers and prepare them for service in 16 of the Army’s 17
branches (the Special Operations branch trains and appoints its own
Warrant Officers). The course also focuses on training similar to
Officer Candidates School (OCS), and provides candidates a foundation of
leadership skills that will eventually help them manage others.
After a candidate completes WOCS, he or she is appointed as a Warrant Officer (WO1).
Graduates are then sent to their specific U.S. Army branches, where
they receive more focused technical training in their specialties.
