I sure never thought SMA Preston would ever step down! It looks like SMA Chandler's time has come and gone. I wish SMA Dailey the best of luck.

The Sergeant Major of the Army (SMA) is a unique non-commissioned rank and position of office in the United States Army. He is not a CSM.

To answer your question however, I believe SMA Dailey will do great things over the next few years. In what we have seen so far he leads from the front and truly cares about Soldiers.

Huge improvement over the last one! Much more credible and sensible than the previous. More in tune with the force and common sense.

He was my Brigade CSM (3 BDE 4th ID);at Fort Carson. I worked in the Brigade TOC with him. When I was injured during that deployment he took care of me and my guys. I ran in to him again a few years ago and took a ride in a Blackhawk with him in Iraq after I retired. I respect the hell out of him!

He looks sharp, and with his background he should have a exciting assignment and if I can help in anyway, I'm available
