Which category is listed for Marine Corps ranks in the material?

In the Marine Corps, ranks are organized into three main streams: enlisted, warrant officers, and commissioned officers. The material specifically uses a separate category for Warrant Officer Ranks because Warrant Officers are a distinct group—appointed by warrant rather than commissioned—that sits between enlisted personnel and commissioned officers. This creates a unique rank path (W-1 to W-5) focused on technical expertise and specialized leadership. That’s why the category listed is Warrant Officer Ranks. The other options describe broader or different paths (enlisted/NCOs or commissioned officers) but don’t represent this separate warrant-based track that the material emphasizes.
