Which rank's insignia is three chevrons above three rockers with a five-pointed star within a wreath?

• A. Command Sergeant Major (CSM)
• B. Sergeant Major (SGM)
• C. Sergeant Major of The Army (SMA)
• D. First Sergeant

Answer: (A)

This insignia shows three chevrons on top and three rockers on the bottom, which marks the highest enlisted pay grade. The unique centerpiece—a five-pointed star inside a laurel wreath—identifies the Command Sergeant Major. That exact star-in-wreath symbol is what distinguishes this rank from other senior enlisted roles (such as the First Sergeant, who uses a diamond in the center, or other variations in the center device). So, the combination described points to Command Sergeant Major as the correct rank.
