Warrant officers 1941-1954

Warrant Officers var sedan 1918 en befälskategori i den amerikanska armén, som rangmässigt var placerad mellan officer och underofficer. Det var då en kategori som bara omfattade fartygschefer, styrmän och maskinister vid kustartilleriets minläggningsväsende; från 1920 skedde utnämningar även som expeditionsbefäl, förrådsförvaltare och musikdirektörer.[1]
