Sergeant Major William O. Wooldridge Actually, there were 192 "firsts," as the list that announced the first increment of soldiers selected for Command Sergeant Major listed their effective date as 1 Feb 1968. Some could argue that new CSMs in Korea or Japan were the first, but it is moot. You can see that list at: http://ncohistory.com/files/1stCSMList.pdf. For the previous wiki respondant, you will notice that the war hero Sgt Maj Basil Plumley was not even on that list, but was actually selected later with the 3rd increment. You can see that here: http://ncohistory.com/files/Cir611-40.pdf However, Chief of Staff Harold Johnson promoted then Sgt Maj of the Army William O. Wooldridge to the rank of Command Sergeant Major, and included a certificate, signed by him, stating Wooldridge was the first soldier promoted to Command Sergeant Major. SMA Wooldridge proudly displays that certificate to this date.
