	Sergeant Major - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In particular, the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) (WO1) is the senior WO of a battalion or regiment, equivalent to a Command Sergeant Major in the United States.
		Marine Corps Sergeants Major serve as the senior enlisted Marine in the Corps' units of battalion, squadron or higher echelon, to assist the unit's commander and to handle matters of discipline and morale among the enlisted Marines.
		The full title of sergeant major fell out of use until the latter part of the 18th century, when it began to be applied to the senior non-commissioned officer of an infantry battalion or cavalry regiment.

	Warrant Officer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This rank is held by the Regimental Sergeant Major of the Army (RSM-A).
		WO2s holding Sergeant Major or Corporal Major appointments are often referred to as the "Sergeant Major" or the "Corporal Major", but WO1s are only ever referred to using their full appointment or its abbreviation (the "RSM" or the "Garrison Sergeant Major", for instance).
		The duties Marine warrant officers typically fulfill are those that would normally call for the authority of a commissioned officer, however, require an additional level of technical proficiency and practical experience that a commissioned officer would not have had the opportunity to achieve.

	Royal Artillery Methods in World War 2
		By the end of 1943 a towed field battery's war establishment strength was 198 including 10 officers and an SP battery's was 186, again with 10 officers.
		Medium batteries (4.5/5.5-inch) were bigger, 252 (still 10 officers), because their gun detachments were larger.
		The range and arc of fire of different batteries could be a limitation on the number of batteries in a multi-battery engagement, although the use of 'scale', part of the new procedure, compensated for batteries that could not engage.

		The dinner, which consisted of tatie-pot and Christmas pudding, was held at their battery from which on numerous occasions their only advertisement has been the roll of their naval guns, the crack of their ack-ack and anti-tank weapons, and the stabbing beams of their searchlights.
		The H.G.s had as their guests officers, W.O.s, and sergeants from the Battery and Regimental H.Q. After an enjoyable repast Lt. Dick Lawson read letters from absent friends and regrets from Brigadier Martin, R.A., and Lt-Col. Holt who were unable to attend.

		A brief history of Battery "B" 1st R.I.L.A. In response to President Abraham Lincoln's call, in 1861, for defenders of the country's honor, integrity, and principles of liberty, there gathered together in the several armories of the State militia, young men full of patriotism, ambition and health, and offered their services.
		Battery B was formally mustered out of the service of the United States Monday, June 12, 1865, with a record of three years, eleven months' service in the War of the Rebellion.
		There was nothing connected with the organization to particularly impress the minds of the people of the State it represented, but those connected with it, and particularly those who were with it from the beginning, have always been proud of their membership.

	Battery B, 4th U.S. Light Artillery - The Regular Army Artillery on the Eve of the Civil War
		Prior to the Civil War, all batteries of artillery were in "instruction mode." In an effort for conserve what little money the War Department received from the Congress, the amount of men, guns, and horses attached to each battery were reduced by one-third.
		In "Bleeding Kansas" an entire battery was sent to look for a lone escaped slave while Battery B and part of Battery L were rushed from Fort Monroe, to Harper's Ferry, during the John Brown episode.
		Ringgold's old Battery C was commanded by Captain Edward O. Ord, born in Cumberland, Maryland, just over the blue ridges of the Alleghanies from the former's native Hagerstown.

		Under the threat of invasion in 1940 St. Martin’s Battery was upgraded to an ‘emergency’ battery and fitted with three 6" BL guns.

		Black, who was the Battery Sergeant Major, says he had "a fair bit of power over the advance party" so when, in the dark of the evening of 15 July, he heard the first howitzer being prepared for action he demanded to know who gave authority.
		As time went on Battery officers and men accompanied allied patrols as forward observation teams to call in supporting fire by transmitting the co-ordinates of known or suspected enemy positions and calling the fall of shot.
		The Battery developed increased mobility when helicopter trials with the Americans showed that dismantled howitzers could be flown to operational areas and the Australians found howitzers could be packed into armoured personnel carriers.
