Modernizing Warrant Officer PME with CW5 Carlos Terrones
In this episode of COHORT W, host CW4 Jessie Morlan sits down with CW5 Carlos Terrones, the Command Chief Warrant Officer of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, to discuss tackling one of the most pressing issues in the Warrant Officer Cohort: the modernization of Warrant Officer Professional Military Education (PME).
With the battlefield evolving and technology advancing at an unprecedented pace, the Army is shifting toward Multi-Domain Operations. But how do Warrant Officers and institutions ensure that Warrant Officer PME is not only keeping up but also leading the way? CW5 Terrones brings decades of leadership and operational experience, from enlisting as a Light-Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic in 1993 to serving as a strategic advisor at one of the Army’s premier institutions for military education, to foster the required developments.
Join us for an insightful discussion on the future of Warrant Officer PME, the skills Warrant Officers need to thrive in a rapidly changing environment, and how the Army is preparing its technical experts to drive the future fight.
