Business Software Review : Article 'Warrant Officer' A warrant officer (WO) or a chief warrant officer (CWO) is a member of a military organization, with a rank subordinate to other commissioned officers and senior to noncommissioned officers. The warrant officer corps began in the 13th century in the nascent British Royal Navy. These officers often had no knowledge of life on board a ship —let alone how to navigate such a vessel or operate the guns— and relied on the expertise and cooperation of a senior sailor who tended to the technical aspects of running the ship and operating the cannons. www.business-software-review.org /DisplayArticle55270.html   (45 words)

Brigadier A Brigadier is properly considered the most senior field rank, and is therefore more a senior colonel than the lowest rank of general (much like a Commodore is to an Admiral in the navy). It has, however, been awarded the equivalent NATO status to a Brigadier General in the United States military, where it is a general officer rank. Until shortly after the Second World War, it was only an appointment conferred on colonels (as commodore was an appointment conferred on naval captains) and not a substantive rank. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/B/Brigadier.htm   (281 words)
