Abstract
Warrant Officers are the Army's technical experts, and provide commanders with detailed information in their area of expertise. The traditional Warrant Officer path is very narrow and focused, however the Army has recently begun offering broadening opportunities to Warrants such as the Advanced Military Studies Program (AMSP). In 2010, the first group of warrant officers graduated AMSP and moved on to assignments throughout the operational Army. The program transforms select officers into agile and adaptive leaders able to think creatively and critically and develop viable options for commanders. This monograph examines the benefits that AMSP educated warrant officers provide to the Army and answers the question, "Why does the Army send Warrant officers to AMSP?"
