The Army consolidated all enlisted ranks into seven pay grades, five of which were for non-commissioned officers, in the year 1958. This change was part of the new classification and grade structure that was implemented to streamline and modernize the Army's personnel system.
A Non-Commissioned Officer is a series of enlisted ranks in the U.S. military. It is the pay grades from E-5 - E-9 in the Air Force, and E-4 - E-9 in the Army, Marines, and Navy.
They're officially Warrant Officers, if you're referring to the US military. They're in a separate class, between enlisted personnel and commissioned officers, and there are five Warrant Officer ranks, grades one through five.
It depends which armed forces you are a member of.Generally you do not salute warrant officers. Salutes are reserved for commissioned officers.A commission is only granted by the head of state. Such commissioned officers grant warrants, hence the name.Countries have different rules regarding warrants and warrant officers. Some you salute, depending on rank and other criteria.

During World War II, the German Navy, known as the Kriegsmarine, had a rank structure similar to other naval forces. The main ranks included enlisted personnel (Matrose, Obermatrose), non-commissioned officers (Bootsmann, Oberbootsmann), and commissioned officers (Leutnant zur See, Kapitänleutnant, and Kapitän zur See). The highest rank was Admiral, with various grades such as Großadmiral being held by prominent leaders like Karl Dönitz. This hierarchy reflected both operational command and administrative roles within the Navy.

All Marine Warrant Officers are considered company grade officers. CW04's and CW05's are generally granted privileges of field grade officers only as a matter of custom but are still considered company grades. Privileges generally include preferential billeting, other perks, etc. CW02's and up are commissioned officers. W-1's are appointed officers.
Army, Air Force and Marine Corps officers are called company grade officers in the pay grades of O-1 to O-3, field grade officers in pay grades O-4 to O-6 and general officers in pay grades O-7 and higher.
A non-com in any branch of the Department of Defense is short for non-commissioned officer, aka NCO. The NCOs are pay grades E4-E9 (ie, Corporal to Command Sergeant Major), and they are trusted with more responsibility than newer members of the military, but are not given command billets - they serve under commissioned officers (ie, Lieutenants through Generals), although much more respect is usually tendered to a Senior NCO than to a newly commissioned officer.
