Do you know a warrant officer who has contributed significantly to the promotion of the warrant officer community? Consider nominating this officer for the U.S. Army Warrant Officer Career College’s (USAWOCC’s) Order of the Eagle Rising Society. In addition to their contributions, nominees must also demonstrate the highest standards of integrity and moral character, display an outstanding degree of professional competency, and serve the warrant officer community with distinction.

The nomination packet must contain a nomination form and all supporting documentation. Download the nomination form from the USAWOCC webpage. Click on “Eagle Rising Society” in the “Quick Links” section. The USAWOCC approves only one nomination for induction.

Completed nomination packets are due no later than May 2, 2022, and may be emailed to usarmy.rucker.cac.mbx.wocc-proponency@army.mil or mailed to:

Recipients will receive the Order of the Eagle Rising Society medallion and certificate, a MOAA Life Membership, and a $500 monetary award. Additionally, their name will be prominently displayed at the USAWOCC.

Nominees must be a military or federal civilian employee retiree that served with distinction within the military community; have contributed significantly and conspicuously to the promotion of the warrant officer community and the U.S. Army over the course of an entire career and beyond; maintained the highest standards of integrity, moral character, professional competence, and dedication to duty; displayed an outstanding degree of professional competency while serving the U.S. Army community with distinction.

The nominee’s contributions to the Army and warrant officer community must have occurred over the course of an entire career. (The nominee must have been retired for at least five years at the time the nominee is inducted in the society. A posthumous nominee must have been retirement eligible at the time of death). The nominee’s post-retirement contributions are highly significant, especially when the contributions are selfless in nature (i.e., voluntary contribution of time and effort beyond elements of the nominee’s post retirement employment).
