warrant officers
Between enlisted, commissioned
Warrant officers are military personnel who rank between enlisted soldiers and commissioned officers.
They hold their rank by warrant rather than commission, typically serving as technical specialists or experts in specific fields—aviation, intelligence, maintenance.
The rank exists in most branches of the U.S. military and in armed forces of other countries, though structures vary.
