Exactly. So far, all UNSC ranks have been carbon copies of their US counterparts. So, we can assume that the US system was carried over when the UNSC was formed. So, we can say that the ranks are:
  +
*Warrant Officer 1 (WO1)
  +
*Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CWO2)
  +
*Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CWO3)
  +
*Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CWO4)
  +
*Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CWO5)
  +
The ranks directly below WO1 are the Chief Enlisted Advisors of the branches (Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, etc.) and the ranks directly above are 2nd Lt. (MC, Army, AF) and Ensign (Navy). [[User talk:Iceman117|Iceman117]] 04:39, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Revision as of 04:39, 10 October 2010

I met a few Warrant Officers while in the U.S. Marine Corps - they do hold commissions. Their leadership is generally directed toward technical specialties, instead of command, like a normal commissioned officer. It's kind of like the difference between a Master Sergeant and a First Sergeant, or a Master Gunnery Sergeant and a Sergeant Major. Just wanted to throw that out there.

Rank Names

Can we hold the experience ranks in the Halo multiplayer system as actual canon for the UNSC military rank, especially by way of name? Warrant Officer 1 doesn't seem like a rank (renaming it First Warrant Officer might be more realistic, assuming a second rank exists), and four ranks of Chief Warrant Officer seems a tad overblown. The multiplayer system is, after all, meant to denote a lot of different experience levels, so more ranks might exist in this system than are actually present in the UNSC military- should this be examined?Unnamed Individual 04:02, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

The WO ranks don't come from any multiplayer system. These are the ranks of the actual US military (Warrant Officer 1, Chief WO 2, 3, etc.) The Spartan ranks seen in multiplayer aren't the actual UNSC ranks. All ranks seen in campaign are also US ranks, so we can assume that the UNSC ranking system matches the US one.

Multiplayer is never canon. Iceman117 02:29, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

In halo, there is no such thing as chief warrant officer...

If I'm not mistaken, it is actually WO, WO1, WO2, WO3. There is not chief warrant officer. Also, the next rank is captain, not second lieutenant. This is halo. Not real life.
