What is the Space Force specific E-9 rank called?

• A. Chief Master Sergeant
• B. Chief Master Sergeant of The Space Force
• C. Senior Master Sergeant
• D. Command Chief Master Sergeant

Answer: (B)

The Space Force has a unique top enlisted leadership title for the E-9 level: Chief Master Sergeant of The Space Force (CMSSF). This position serves as the senior enlisted advisor to the Secretary of the Space Force and the Chief of Space Operations, guiding policy, readiness, welfare, and utilization of the enlisted force across the entire service. It mirrors the role of the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force in the Air Force, but it is specifically designated for the Space Force to reflect its distinct culture and mission. Other ranks or positions you might see in different services refer to different command-level roles or are not service-wide top enlisted leadership, so they don’t fill this Space Force-wide leadership function.
