Which title is held by Pabustan?

• A. Battalion CSM
• B. Sergeant Major of the Army
• C. Senior Drill Sergeant
• D. Brigade Commander

Answer: (C)

Recognizing the different Army leadership roles in training and command structures helps place Pabustan in the right position. A Senior Drill Sergeant is the senior noncommissioned officer among drill sergeants, responsible for running the drill sergeant cadre, maintaining training standards, and mentoring junior drill sergeants during basic training or other drill environments. This role is specifically tied to training operations rather than to a battalion-level staff role, brigade command, or the Army's top enlisted leadership. The other titles refer to distinct positions: Battalion CSM is the senior enlisted adviser at the battalion level; Sergeant Major of the Army is the Army's senior enlisted advisor; a Brigade Commander is a commissioned officer who leads a brigade. Because Pabustan is described by the title that aligns with leading drill sergeants and overseeing drill instruction, the correct title is Senior Drill Sergeant.
