Volume II of Strength in Knowledge could not have happened without the outstanding leadership of Dr. Leonard S. Momeny, who created the publication during his last full year of military service. Leonard’s brilliant vision and incredibly intense commitment to the project led this publication to great success! While Leonard is on the glide path to his next chapter, I am humbled to take the reins of managing editor from a great leader, mentor, and friend.
In Volume II, we will subtly present warrant officer modernization’s impressive impact on the Total Army. The passion of our talented faculty and staff enables the Army’s technical integrators and operators to communicate, lead, and advise with superior insight for the future fight.
Issue 1 starts with peer-reviewed student articles from the Warrant Officer Senior Service Education Course. These articles represent what is important to senior warrant officers of the Army National Guard. As always, articles of interest from the field are highlighted.
In Issue 2, we will spotlight a more detailed analysis of the technical activities leading to integrating modernization into the future fight and sprinkle in some highlights from the end of the first full year of Warrant Officer Candidate Modernization.
By September, the Warrant Officer Intermediate Level Education Course (WOILE) should start to migrate to a completely new program of instruction, leading to what will be known as the Warrant Officer Advanced Course (WOAC). Candidate modernization includes many topics pushed down from the current WOILE. The new WOAC will go much deeper into more advanced topics relevant to operations across all domains in the large-scale fight.
Finally, we will wrap up the year with remarkable stories involving technical accomplishments from across the Army. There is much to write about. If you are reading this, I ask that you do two things. First, share the link to the journal with everyone you know. This is not a journal for warrant officers. It is a journal by warrant officers. The journal is for the Army! Second, consider writing for the journal. Share your expertise with the Army. We are all better together and building our knowledge with your contributions.
