Who is the Battalion Command Sergeant Major?

• A. CSM Ramirez
• B. CSM Patel
• C. CSM Johnson
• D. CSM Harley

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is recognizing who holds the top enlisted leadership role at the battalion level and what that role entails. The Battalion Command Sergeant Major is the senior enlisted adviser to the battalion commander, responsible for advising on all enlisted matters, maintaining standards, guiding training and readiness, and serving as the principal link between the commander and the noncommissioned officers across the battalion.

In this unit’s current leadership roster, that role is filled by CSM Harley, which is why this is the correct choice. The other names listed are also senior enlisted leaders, but they serve in different units or staff positions and do not hold the battalion’s senior enlisted advisor role. If you needed to verify, you’d reference the official unit leadership roster or current orders of battle to confirm who occupies the Battalion Command Sergeant Major slot.
