Proposal

After doing research on the subject, I was unable to find reliable information pertaining to the jobs performed during World War II by this rank bracket. However, after comparing and contrasting the Warrant Officer ranks in the present-day United States Army, I have come to the conclusion that the 3rd Infantry Division could in fact benefit from the positions these ranks provide. A Warrant Officer is a specialist; not a combat leader. Their duties are required more off the line, than in the thick of things. They hang back in the Headquarters offices and do more paperwork related jobs, such as website administration, and records keeping tasks.

The Ranks

CWO (Chief Warrant Officer)

• Handles daily administrative tasks, such as website maintenance, news, and

official content screening.

WO1 (Warrant Officer Junior Grade)

My thoughts are that this should have been implemented several years ago, seeing as how well the rank fits the job. I am surprised that this issue has never come up before, just out of the realism factor that it provides alone. This idea can be changed quite a bit to meet a lot of needs and standards, so I want everyone to consider the possibilities on this subject with an open mind.
