"The Pershing Warrant Officer has a demanding vital job to perform in his unit and his profession. ... This Guide has been developed to enhance the abilities he already possess as a warrant officer, to give references on those subjects he may need to review, and to provide a broad overview of various military subjects. The Guide covers MOS specific tasks, core (non-MOS specific) tasks, appointment prerequisites, military and civilian education, career progression and general military information. This is a guide and is to be used as a job aid only."
