Who is the Army's senior noncommissioned officer listed?

• A. Michael Weimer
• B. David Flosi
• C. David Allvin
• D. Gregory Washington

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding who holds the top enlisted leadership role in the Army. The highest-ranking noncommissioned officer in the Army is the Sergeant Major of the Army. This person serves as the senior enlisted advisor to the Chief of Staff of the Army and represents the welfare, training, and readiness of all enlisted soldiers at the highest levels. The SMA sets and communicates standards, helps shape policy affecting the entire Army, and speaks for enlisted soldiers across all commands. Other names you might see in the list could be senior NCOs from specific commands or officers from other services, but they aren’t the Army’s top enlisted advisor. Since the SMA is a time-sensitive appointment, the correct choice is the person who currently holds that Sergeant Major of the Army title.
