CMDCM Command Master Chief
Current service use not established
This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
Overview
A Command Master Chief reports directly to the commander and advises on policies affecting enlisted personnel, including morale, welfare, discipline, utilization, job satisfaction, and training. This senior enlisted leader represents enlisted perspectives at meetings and coordinates or monitors command programs involving professional development, retention, awards, families, readiness, equal opportunity, and discipline.
Notes & Sources
- CMDCM is a command senior enlisted leadership identifier, not an occupational specialty: per the Vol I introduction, the CMDCM/CMDCS ratings 'do not reflect a paygrade higher than E-9/E-8 but does identify the MCPO/SCPO who serves as the senior enlisted advisor to the command in formulating and implementing policies pertaining to the morale, utilization, and training of all enlisted personnel'.
- Holders are drawn from across Navy ratings and the identifier establishes no occupational duty, skill or civilian specialty, so occupation-specific guidance is not offered here.
