Definition of Officership
Feb ’03 Officership Conf. Version
Essential to officership is a unique identity or self-concept of being a
warrior, servant of the nation, member of the army profession, and leader of
character. Officers apply
discretionary judgment and bear ultimate moral responsibility against a back
drop of total accountability and unlimited liability.
This concept inspires and shapes the officer.
Updated Version
•Officership is the practice of
being a warrant/commissioned Army leader, accountable to the President
of the United States for the Army and its mission.
Officers swear an oath of loyalty and service to the Constitution.
Officers apply discretionary judgment and bear ultimate moral
responsibility for their decisions.
Their appointment/commission imposes total accountability and
unlimited liability.
Essential to officership
is a unique, shared self-concept consisting of
four identities -
warrior, servant of
the nation, member of a
profession, and leader of
character.
Grounded in Army values,
this shared self-concept inspires and shapes the officer and the
Army Officer/ Warrant Officer
Corps.
Definition of a Warrant Officer (Pre-1984)
The warrant officer is a highly skilled technician who is provided to fill
those positions above the enlisted level which are too specialized in scope
to permit effective development and continued utilization of broadly
trained, branch qualified commissioned officers.
