Operation Husky stands out in World War II as a bastion of lessons learned for Leaders at all levels as applied to Large Scale Combat Operations. Two of the most important lessons learned from Operation Husky are: while intelligence is crucial it has its limitations; and the importance of command and control across the joint force. As the United States Army returns its focus to peer and near-peer warfare, it is important that the lessons learned from previous wars of that type are applied to potential wars of the future. Army Warrant Officers, as adaptive subject matter experts and innovative integrators of emergent technology have the charges of leading, training, and advising in both the technical and tactical areas of their career fields. Thus, Warrant Officers play a critical role in the assurance of tacit tactical and technical knowledge transfer to leaders at all levels.
