COMMAND SERGEANTS MAJOR ACADEMY (CSMC)
Train For The Next Level In Leadership
The CSMC is a five-day course designed to prepare Sergeants Major to perform the duties of a Battalion Command Sergeant Major.
Subject areas include:
- Transitioning the new Command Sergeant Major as the senior enlisted advisor to the Commander
- Interpersonal relationships with the command and staff
- Assigning and utilizing Soldiers
- Developing Training Plans
- Board Exams
- Caring for Soldiers and their Families
The value of the CSMC is realized through the mutual sharing of ideas and experiences among students of different Army-job backgrounds as well as students of both the Active Duty and Army Reserve components.
