Warrant Officers (Split from Missing career paths)

Is Master Warrant Officer a new designation? I've always just heard CWO-5s referred to as Chief Warrant Officers.

When I joined the Army, I was given a book called ARMY: Guide for new soldiers. In it, it covered the various ranks and their insignia. The information for the Warrant Officer was listed as W-1 Warrant Officer, Chief Warrant Officer-2-4, and Master Warrant Officer MW-5.

The IET Soldier's Handbook lists Warrant Officer and four ranks of Chief Warrant Officer.

I would tend to go with official Army documents given in training. So, regard the Master Warrant Officer as an editorial mistake. My apologies.
