US Marines: Chief Warrant Three (USMC CWO-3) [3D] Poster

Introducing project “Military Insignia 3D”, featuring top quality military heraldry designs. Here you will find wrapped canvas and framed fine art prints decorated with rank insignia of a U.S. Marine Chief Warrant Officer Three (USMC CWO-3). The duties US Marine warrant officers typically fulfil are those that would normally call for the authority of a commissioned officer. However, they require an additional level of technical proficiency and practical experience that a commissioned officer would not have had the opportunity to achieve. An enlisted marine can apply for the warrant officer program after serving at least eight years of enlisted service, and reaching the grade of sergeant (paygrade E-5) for the administrative warrant officer program or after serving at least sixteen years of enlisted service and reaching the grade of gunnery sergeant (paygrade E-7) for the weapons warrant officer program. If the Marine NCO is selected, he or she is given additional leadership and management training during the Warrant Officer Basic Course (WOBC), conducted at The Basic School in Quantico, Virginia. The United States Marine Corps MOS 0306, Infantry Weapons Officers, commonly referred to as "The Gunner" or "Marine Gunner" are non-technical Chief Warrant Officers that are weapons specialists and are knowledgeable in the tactical employment of all the weaponry in Marine Corps arsenal - all weapons organic to the Marine infantry units. The Gunner is a Chief Warrant Officer specifically trained in the employment and training of battalion organic weapons and assigned personnel. He is a special staff officer employed as the principal advisor to commander at all levels to assist in the development of training plans and employment of organic weapons. During combat, the Gunner may be tasked to inspect fire plans to ensure organic fires are integrated and mutually supporting at the battalion level, perform other supervisory tasks at critical events, and/or command task organised or provisional combat units. CWO-3s are advanced-level experts who perform the primary duties of a technical and tactical leader. They provide direction, guidance, resources, assistance, and supervision necessary for subordinates to perform their duties. They primarily support operations levels from team or detachment through brigade. Entrusted with expanding leadership responsibilities, they are committed to constant skill development, ensuring that those in their command receive superior training in a full range of critical combat tasks. Demonstrating an uncompromising commitment to excellence and an unwavering dedication to the advancing the mission of the U.S. Marine Corps, their bold leadership and proven technical proficiency provides America's Armed Forces with a distinct advantage.
