Warrant Officers
Warrant Officers are separate from both the officer and enlisted ranks within the USCM. Their commissions is issued through "Warrant" within their specific field as recognition of their expertise, opposed to a standard officers commission. Generally, they are considered to outrank all enlisted personnel, and are treated with the effective rank of Lieutenant Commander. They must still follow the orders of those above them, however, in situations such as Law Enforcement they typically function as the ultimate authority in the areas of their specific expertise.
