Army Chief Warrant Officer 4 Ellen Smith, left, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Teresa Domeier, the command chief warrant officer for the Army National Guard, and Chief Warrant Officer 5 Bruce Brownlee, slice a cake as part of a ceremony in celebration of the 103rd birthday of the U.S. Army Warrant Officer at the Herbert R. Temple Jr. Army National Guard Readiness Center, Arlington Hall Station in Arlington, Virginia, July 9, 2021. According to Army historians, warrant officer ranks and grades were established through congressional legislation after the Army recognized the need for technical experts and leaders to support mine planting operations. Today, warrant officers make up three percent of the Army, but account for 21 percent of the officer corps, serving in more than 60 job specialties. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Master Sgt.
