Of all the positions of authority and responsibility, that of Command Chief Warrant Officer is probably the least known. However, this is a critical position within all branches of the military —especially within the Army Reserve — because the Warrant Officer is a steady presence with expert knowledge that helps the total Army achieve its mission.  Warrant Officers are innovative integrators of emerging technologies, dynamic teachers, confident warfighters, and developers of specialized teams of Soldiers.

Although they make up less than three percent of total Army strength, Warrant Officers are responsible for training Soldiers, organizing and advising on missions, and advancing within their career specialties. The Warrant Officer cohort is comprised of more than 26,000 men and women of the active Army and Reserve components.

The Army Civil Affairs Regiment helps military commanders and staff work with local authorities and populations while also assisting and supporting the civil administration of a unit’s area of operations. This month the Army Reserve is saluting Soldiers in honor of the Civil Affairs Regiment’s 68th anniversary.

Established on August 17, 1955, the Civil Affairs Regiment has served as the “eyes and ears” to foreign military and civil organizations. These Soldiers engage and partner with communities around the world, to increase stability, enable local governments, and improve quality of life for civilians.

This regiment’s work extends beyond humanitarian assistance as Civil Affairs Soldiers are the Special Operations community’s warrior-diplomats. As persuasive and diplomatic negotiators, Civil Affairs Soldiers work on the ground to ensure the U.S. interests are on the table and have a strong position when bargaining with foreign governments. They also protect civilians and reduce the root causes of instability around the world.
