The Graduate Education of Warrant Officers by AMSP Provides Benefits to the Army

Abstract

Warrant Officers are the Army's technical experts, and they provide commanders with detailed information in their area of expertise. The traditional Warrant Officer career path has been very narrow and focused. However, the Army has recently begun offering broadening opportunities to Warrant Officers, such as the Advanced Military Studies Program (AMSP). In 2010, the first group of Warrant Officers graduated from the AMSP and moved on to assignments throughout the operational Army. The program transforms select officers into agile and adaptive leaders who are able to think creatively and critically and to develop viable options for commanders. This monograph examines the benefits that AMSP-educated Warrant Officers provide to the Army and answers the following question: "Why does the Army Send Warrant officers to AMSP?"
