For E-9, which designation is listed in the material?

• A. Chief Master Sergeant; Command Chief Master Sergeant; First Sergeant
• B. Senior Master Sergeant; First Sergeant
• C. Chief Master Sergeant
• D. Master Sergeant; First Sergeant

Answer: (A)

At the E-9 level, the standard rank is Chief Master Sergeant. The material also recognizes common designations that can accompany someone at this level: Command Chief Master Sergeant, a leadership title for the senior enlisted advisor at a command, and First Sergeant, a formal duty designation responsible for unit welfare and administration. Because the material includes all three designations together for E-9, this combination best matches what is listed. The other options omit one or more of these designations (or mix in a lower rank), so they don’t align with the material’s listings.
