Station Warrant Officer

Station Warrant Officer

The Station Warrant Officer (SWO, often pronounced as a word) is the senior Warrant Officer on a British Royal Air Force station (base). The SWO is responsible for discipline and is therefore comparable to the Regimental Sergeant Major in a British Army unit.

Once a member of the Royal Air Force has reached the rank of Warrant Officer or Master Aircrew, they are eligible to apply to be an SWO. The SWO is required to know the RAF Drill and Ceremonial manual (AP818) inside out.Fact|date=February 2007
