Which individual is the Battalion Command Sergeant Major?

• A. COL Lee
• B. CSM Pilcher
• C. SMA Weimer
• D. SDS Pabustan

Answer: (B)

Understanding who governs at the battalion level helps answer this. The Battalion Command Sergeant Major is the senior enlisted advisor to the battalion commander, assisting with enlisted matters, readiness, discipline, training, and welfare across all companies in the battalion. This role sits at the battalion level, not at the brigade or Army-wide level.

Among the options, the one who is a Command Sergeant Major is the correct pick for this role, since the Battalion Command Sergeant Major would be the senior enlisted leader within the battalion. The other names correspond to roles that are not battalion-level senior enlisted advisors: a colonel would command the battalion, the Sergeant Major of the Army oversees the entire Army, and the remaining name isn’t associated with the battalion-level CSM position.
