USAWOA is organized into
six Regions:
They are the
European,
Mid-Northern,
Mid-Southern,
Northeastern,
Southeastern, and
Western Region. Each of them has an elected Director who, in
addition to the elected National Officers, serves on the USAWOA Board of
Directors. Region Directors also represent the Chapters and
Members-at-Large within their geographic area of responsibility.

Legislative
Efforts
USAWOA legislative activities are
conducted primarily through
The Military Coalition (TMC),
which we joined as a Charter Member when it formed in 1985. The Military
Coalition is comprised of 35 organizations representing more than 5.5
million members of the uniformed services--active, reserve, retired,
survivors, veterans -- and their families. In the early years USAWOA
undertook many legislative actions to include, but not limited to the
following:
-
Retired Pay Computation - Recommended that retired
pay for warrant officers be aligned to be computed on the same basis
as commissioned and enlisted personnel. (Approved by DA and
recommended to Congress)
-
Warrant Officer Flight Training -
Recommend legislation which required 6 years of active duty
commitment be amended to add "or selective reserve service" to
permit Reserve Component personnel to receive fixed/rotary wing
training. (Approved)
-
Flight Pay - Recommended the
equalization of flight pay between warrant officers and commissioned
officers. (Approved)
-
Drill Pay - Recommended that Guard
and Reserve members be allowed to deduct expenses of travel, meals
and lodging incurred when performing military duty away from home.
(Passed but the tax deduction has expired and a new exemption is
once again being pursued)
-
Disability Pay - Recommended
concurrent receipt of military retired pay and VA Disability
compensation. (Ongoing)
-
Forgotten Widows - Recommended
legislation to modify the Survivor Benefit Plan to provide an SBP
benefit for forgotten widows.
-
Cola - Opposed the
reduction or elimination of the cost of living allowance (COLA) for
military retirees. (a major effort mounted each year to preclude the
inequitable treatment of retirees as the Congress struggles with
reducing the Federal Budget) (Successful to date but requires
continual monitoring)
The Warrant
Officer Management Act (WOMA)
proposal was delivered by then USAWOA Executive Vice President CW4
(Ret) Don Hess of on behalf of the Army to Congressman Charles
Bennett of Florida. Upon review, the Senate Armed Services Committee
Report on the FY 1990/1991 Defense Authorization Bill referred the
package to the Department of Defense (DoD) to evaluate the proposal for
consideration in the 1991 bill. The Army was requested by the Defense
Department to chair a special ad hoc committee to research and prepare
the requested report for the Congress. The committee initiated
deliberations on September 22, 1989. Committee participants
included representatives from the Office of the Secretary of Defense
(Force Management) and from the personnel departments of each of the
military services, the Reserve components, and the Coast Guard. Then
USAWOA National President Dave Welsh served on the committee as the
Army's Reserve Component representative. The Committee's report
was issued on November 30, 1989. The Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Force Management & Personnel) forwarded the Defense Report to
the Chairmen of the Senate and House Armed Services Committees on March
9, 1990. See the
Executive Summary.
Congressman Charles Bennett then submitted
House Resolution 36, The Warrant
Officer Management Act of 1991, to the House of Representative on
January 3, 1991. The Bill was referred to the House Armed Services
Committee and later became a part of the National Defense Authorizations
Act for Fiscal Year 1992. WOMA provisions became effective 90 days after
enactment of NDAA FY92, thus WOMA and the establishment of the grade of
CW5 were effective in February 1992.
In July 1995, USAWOA submitted Two Technical Amendments to Title 10 of the U.S. Code
1) to allow Reserve Component (RC) Commissioned Chief Warrant Officer to
serve until Age 62 and 2) to allow Active Guard-Reserve soldiers to
attend Warrant Officer Candidate School and Warrant Officer Basic
Course. Title 10 was amended in 1985 to allow for the commissioning of
Army Chief Warrant Officers. Effective with commissioning the Office of
the Judge Advocate General (OTJAG) opined that the mandatory removal
date for commissioned CWO in the RC remained at age 62 not withstanding
that the mandatory removal of Regular Army CWO. Further, OTJAG opined
that the current laws pertaining to the AGR program did not permit AGR
soldiers to attend entry level training. Senator Inhofe, a member of the
Senate Armed Services Committee, was successful in insertion of these
technical amendments in the Conference Committee report on the National
Defense Authorizations Act for Fiscal Year 1996. Upon NDAA FY96 passage
this became another victory for USAWOA.
In summary,
USAWOA affiliation with
The Military Coalition has broadened our understanding of the big
picture while still maintaining the Association's focus on Army warrant
officers. Through our proactive participation we have contributed to a
unified voice on legislative issues pertaining to the entire military
community while simultaneously drawing support for warrant officer
issues from other associations.

USAWOA Home
Office
The USAWOA dream of a National Office began
in January 1985 with the establishment of a Building Fund. In April
1988 the Board of Directors established a Building Committee to examine the options
available to reach the goal of a permanent location for our National
Office. Up until this time the National Office had been in the basement
of CW4 (Ret) Don Hess' residence in Reston, VA. In October 1988 the
Board of Directors approved a recommendation by the Building Committee
to purchase an office suite in the Springwood Office complex which was
then under construction. USAWOA committed to purchase Suite 207 at 462
Herndon Parkway, Herndon, VA.
In April 1989 the "Dream Came True" as
USAWOA took possession of the Suite and moved in. Due to donations by
Chapters and members together with solid fiscal responsibility on the
part of USAWOA the association was able to raise $130,000 toward payment
for the Suite, leaving us a mortgage of only $20,000.
In April 1990, just 13 months after
purchase, the "mortgage was burned" thanks to the continued support of
Chapters and members. To this day the USAWOA Home Office remains at 462

Anniversary Annual Meeting of the Members.
In
1995, the U. S. Army Warrant Officer
Association commissioned the painting of "The Quiet Professional" by
noted military artist Don Stivers. The print commemorates the 75th
Anniversary of the Army Warrant Officer Corps. The setting is historic
Fort Myer, Virginia and features early period uniforms and the Caisson
Platoon horses and equipment of the 3rd U.S. Infantry, "The Old
Guard". The Warrant Officer that the tile refers to served as a pilot in
command of a MH-60 on October 3, 1993, in Mogadishu, Somalia. In
performance of the mission and his duties, that warrant officer was shot
down and killed, paying the ultimate price in service to the Nation. The
name of this warrant officer was CW4 Raymond A. Frank, U.S. Army;
"The Quiet Professional." See the
origin of the title.
See also the biography and pictures of CW4 Frank on the Army Aviation
Hall of Fame web site at

the Association Presidents of the Army
Aviation Association of America (AAAA) and United States Army Warrant
Officers Association (USAWOA) signed an agreement to attract an
extremely under represented population into both organizations, the Army
Aviation Warrant Officer. In an effort to attract this severely

In
September 2009, members and guests of the United States Army Warrant
Officers Association
(USAWOA) were invited to a picnic by the Members of
the United States Coast Guard Chief Warrant and Warrant Officers
Association (CWOA-USCG), for a social get-together. This idea came from
a discussion at a Christmas Party held last December where everyone
agreed to meet again when the weather turned warmer. The location was
not difficult to decide. USAWOA is located in a business strip
mall. The CWOA-USCG have a barge/office located on the Potomac River in
Washington DC. It is tied to a dock just off shore from the National
Headquarters of the United States Coast Guard which is built just on
shore of the River. Though it was a rainy, over cast day our spirits
were not damped. Some of the members of the two associations got
together for an opportunity to eat, have some fun and share in the
commonality of being Warrant Officers. The event was a great opportunity
to discuss similar issues and address how we are might help each other
in future warrant officer efforts. Pictured are the executive staffs
of both organizations. From left to right, first row-shaking hands CW5
Gary Nisker, President USAWOA and CW2 Brent Light, President CWOA-USCG.

In
September 2009, on behalf of the Above
the Best chapter of the U.S. Army Warrant Officers
Association, chapter
president Chief Warrant Officer 5 Julia Mosman, right, presented retired
Col. Bob Bunting a donation to help defray the cost of the upcoming
World War II Veterans Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. The Sept. 26
flight will transport about 100 veterans and their guardians to the
nation’s capital to see the monument built in their honor. Veterans
travel free because of the financial support of area cities and
organizations.
On
November 5, 2009, Don Stivers, noted military artist, passed away
- he was the painter of USAWOA commissioned "The Quiet Professional"
and LET GO! limited edition prints. For nearly six decades,
Don Stivers has captured the poignancy and peril of history’s most
storied battles, from Bull Run to Bastogne to Baghdad. Whether his
subject is significant to our nation as a whole, or of deep personal
import to the individuals involved in each painting, Don’s attention to
accuracy and emotional detail has made him one of our generation’s most
appreciated military artists, and his prints are collected and cherished
by soldiers and enthusiasts the world over.
On
January 11, 2009, USAWOA National President CW5 Gary Nisker assumed the office of Command
Chief Warrant Officer of the Army National Guard with duty in the Office of
the Director Army National Guard at the National Guard Bureau.

Directors approved establishment of the Honorable Order of the Eagles
Rising as a new USAWOA award to recognize members who make a major
contribution to the association, the Corps or the Army at various levels
- see more.
On April, 24,2010, the USAWOA Board of Directors joined in
issuing a Joint Resolution together with the Warrant Officers Heritage
Foundation
to support an initiative for the
Casemate Museum at Fort Monroe, Virginia to remain as an active Army
Museum in the United States Army Museum System - see the
Resolution.

The Future
Because of
demonstrated professionalism by our Association, USAWOA is recognized
by the military and civilian leaders and our sister associations as the
advocate for Army Warrant Officers. We pledge to continue to speak out
on issues of importance to the Army, USAWOA and its members to better
utilize the tremendous potential of talent consolidated within the some
25,000 member Warrant Officer Corps within the Active Army, National
Guard, and Army Reserve.
