FOCUS GROUP 3&4’S
RECOMMENDATION WAS VOTED ON AND PASSED BY THE BODY
FG #5: What training
should Senior Warrant Officer's with assignments to General Officer
Staff have to better prepare them for that level of their careers?
Recommendation:
We highly believe
that this issue impacts all Warrant Officers of all ranks in the
Active Duty Army, the United States Army National Guard and the
United States Army Reserve. There are two separate situations that
require some type of formal (Resident/DL) training—Working on a GO
staff and working outside technical expertise.
Our recommendation is
that the Warrant Officer Career College establish a 40 hour DL (Min)
course followed by a minimum one week, TDY in route resident course
to allow Warrant Officers the proper training prior to starting a
very stressful assignment working with GO’s and DOD Joint Staff.
This course should not be rank dependent; however, it should be
based on duty assignment.
Furthermore, there
should be some consideration of formal instruction (DL or Resident)
for those Warrant Officers that are being assigned to Staff Offices
such as a S/G staff.
These assignments,
over time, should have a special code that allows Assignment
Officers to select the most qualified.
We have concluded
that this issue should be forwarded to the Senior Warrant Officer
Advisory Council and the Warrant Officer Senior Advisory Council for
action and further discussion.
See slides with recommendation.
