15.01.2022 Congratulations to #OurPeople Warrant Officer Class Two Jeska Matthews and Warrant Officer Class Two David Tasker who were presented their Warrants this week. Warrants were instituted in the 1800s by the British Army to issue to select personnel in order to assist them in the carriage of their duties. In 1879, the British Army introduced the warrant permanently to define the authority of its most senior non commissioned officers. This was subsequently adopted by the Austral...ian Army and is an important milestone in a soldiers career. #GoodSoldiering #WeAreCombatHealth 17th Sustainment Brigade - Australian Army Forces Command - Australian Army
