^ ^a ^b Greece has only one level of Warrant Officer. According to the current issue (2010) of STANAG 2116, the Greek Warrant Officers are included in OR-9, however they are afforded the privileges of an officer. A regular Warrant Officer (Ανθυπασπιστής) is of the same rank but senior to a draftee warrant officer (ΔΕΑ), which is a temporary appointment before being commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Reserve. See STANAG 2116 note 30.
