CMDCS Command Senior Chief
Current service use not established
This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
Overview
Command Senior Chiefs serve as command-level senior enlisted leaders afloat and ashore, reporting directly to the commanding officer and working closely with the executive officer. They help formulate and implement policies concerning enlisted personnel and oversee professional development for the Chief Petty Officer mess.
Notes & Sources
- CMDCS 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', and the enlisted job-code listing records CMDCS (job code 002755) as 'Command Senior Chief'.
- 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.
