Command Sergeant Majors are also referred to as Warrant Officers. They are a Non Commissioned Officer who serves as the senior enlisted adviser to the Chief Administrative and Commanding Officers. The duties of a Command Sergeant Major are to care for their units flag, and to ensure that the conduct of enlisted personnel are enforced through adhering to the army’s standards and procedures.
