Who is the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force?

• A. General Kenneth S. Wilsbach
• B. Chief Master Sergeant David R. Wolfe
• C. Sergeant Major Michael R. Weimer
• D. General Dan Caine

Answer: (B)

The question is about identifying the top enlisted leader of the Air Force. The Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force is the senior noncommissioned officer and serves as the principal enlisted adviser to both the Air Force Chief of Staff and the Secretary of the Air Force, representing all enlisted airmen and shaping policies on readiness, training, welfare, and morale. This role is distinctly an enlisted leadership position, not a commissioned officer role. That’s why a General, who is a commissioned officer with command authority, doesn’t fit this position. It’s also why a Sergeant Major, while the senior enlisted rank in other services, isn’t the Air Force’s CMSAF. The person who holds the CMSAF title in this context is David R. Wolfe, the individual designated for that top enlisted leadership role.
