An embroidered Canadian Armed Forces Chief Warrant Officer (CWO) rank badge featuring the Canadian Coat of Arms in full colour on a navy felt background.
The badge depicts a crowned lion atop a helm, flanked by a golden lion and a white unicorn holding flags representing England and Scotland. The central shield displays the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland, and France with a red maple leaf at the base. Below, a scroll bears the national motto “A MARI USQUE AD MARE” (“From Sea to Sea”).
The Chief Warrant Officer is the highest non-commissioned rank in the Canadian Armed Forces. CWOs serve as senior advisors to commanding officers at the unit, formation, and national level, responsible for discipline, morale, and mentorship of all Non-Commissioned Members (NCMs).
