The Army has three categories of Soldiers: Enlisted Soldiers, Warrant Officers and Commissioned Officers. Each has its own specialized training, responsibilities and areas of expertise. Each and every Soldier is the pride of our nation. Together, they are critical to the Army's ability to defend our country, our freedoms and our way of life.

ENLISTED SOLDIER
Well prepared and highly adaptable, Enlisted Soldiers are regarded for their sense of duty and the sacrifices they have made for their country. Much like employees at a company, Enlisted Soldiers perform specific job functions and have the knowledge that ensures the success of their unit's current mission within the Army. An Enlisted Soldier's rank can range from Private to Sergeant Major of the Army.

WARRANT OFFICER
A Warrant Officer is a highly specialized expert and trainer in his or her career field. Warrant Officers remain single-specialty Officers — progressing within their career field rather than focusing on increased levels of command and staff duty positions like their Commissioned Officer counterparts. An example of a Warrant Officer is a helicopter pilot. A Warrant Officer's rank can range from Warrant Officer 1 to Chief Warrant Officer 5.

COMMISSIONED
OFFICER
Commissioned Officers are the managers, problem solvers, key influencers and planners who lead Enlisted Soldiers in all situations. They have the skills, the training and the character needed to inspire and encourage others — the strength not just to follow but also to lead. They embrace and embody the Core Army Values, and apply them to every decision they make and every action they take. An Officer’s rank can range from Second Lieutenant to General of the Army.
