The Maryland Army National Guard paid homage to the Army Warrant Officer Cohort by celebrating its 99th birthday with songs, cake and other traditions in the Maj. Gen. Warren D. Hodges Armory at Aberdeen Proven Ground in the Edgewood area of Md., July 16 2017. The official birthday of the Army Warrant Officer is July 9, 1918. The Army originated with 40 warrant officers, but now there are more than 27,000 Army technical and tactical experts between the active, guard and reserve components.
