| * CPL is an NCO
** MSG and 1SG are at the same pay grade. The 1SG is the senior NCO of a company, while a MSG is in a staff position. A MSG may leave a staff position to become the 1SG of a company, and a 1SG reverts to a MSG when going to a staff position. *** Similar to MSG, SMAJ is a NCO in a staff
position. The SMAJ becomes a CSM when taking the senior NCO position
of a battalion or higher organization and vice versa. The SMA is
a unique position. The SMA is the senior enlisted advisor to the
Chief of Staff of the Army. |
