Who is the Battalion CSM?

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

Answer: (C)

The battalion CSM is the senior enlisted adviser to the Battalion Commander, a role held by a Command Sergeant Major. This position focuses on enlisted training, standards, discipline, and morale within the battalion, acting as the voice of the noncommissioned soldiers to the commander. The person named with the Command Sergeant Major designation fits that role, so they are the battalion CSM. The other options describe different ranks or higher-level positions (a colonel as a senior officer, the Army’s top enlisted leader as SMA), or a name that doesn’t correspond to a battalion-level role, so they don’t fit.
