If we get into the nitty-gritty, only WO1 is not equivalent to a commissioned rank; CW2 and up can hold command slots, but this is contrary to the intent of the Warrant Officer system.

We saw some Chiefs commanding aviation units starting in the late '80s, but it was rare. Command is a career progression slot, not a place to park for 20 years.
