Program Overview - National Guard Applicants

General Information On The Warrant Officer Program

Warrant Officers are technical and tactical leaders who specialize, throughout an entire career, in a specific technical area. The Army Warrant Officer Corps comprises less than three percent of the total Army. Although small in size, the level of responsibility is immense and only the very best will be selected to become Warrant Officers. Benefits include extended career opportunities, worldwide leadership assignments, and increased pay and retirement benefits.

There are two ways to become an Army Aviator Warrant Officer. One is if you are already on active duty and the other is if you are a civilian, reservist or in the National Guard. If you are not currently on active duty you will go through your local Army recruiter. For more information visit the civilian applicants page.

If you are a member of the National Guard, regardless of branch, and you wish to apply for a position as Warrant Officer in the Army National Guard, you must contact your states appropriate agency. Please visit the National Guard Recruiting web site at www.1800goguard.com for more information. Or you can email them at ARNGOfficerRecruiting@ng.army.mil

If you are a member of the National Guard or Reserves, to include AGR, and you wish to apply for an active duty Army position as a Warrant Officer Technician, your application will be completed and processed exactly as the active duty applications are. However, you will also require a conditional letter-of-release DD Form 368 from your component as part of your packet. Additionally, AGR applicants for the active duty program must process a DA Form 4187 IAW Paragraph 2-2b (12), AR 135-100.

The following information will assist you in determining eligibility and submitting your application. All potential applicants are required to read this information first.
