Hum, neat. Thanks for the explanation.

Right. There's no "Director of Ceremonies" position.

The senior officer and senior NCO in a unit would oversee the preparations for an important ceremony.

Meaning, it's decided by seniority rather than assigned to a specific individual as their primary occupation?

It's both--sergeants major are referred to as "Sergeant Major," and first sergeants as "First Sergeant" or "Top."

They are the most senior NCOs in their units, and thus are in charge of getting the soldiers trained in drill and ceremony.

Is that merely the rank, or are they referred as such?
See, around here it's this sort of iconic / infamous position, much like the bootcamp drill instructor, but I'm unsure whether this convention has any global basis.

Well, that would be the sergeant major in a battalion-sized unit or larger, and a first sergeant in company-sized units.

Hope this helps!

Hi sherlock,

Where you served (as in, "your army"), was there any nco in charge of ceremonies, order or discipline? If so, did the position carry any unique title?

Indeed, rocco's (https://help-qa.com/users/2-rockster160) paid attention to the most minute detail. Every few days we get one of the old helpers back, the list is still long but we'll get there.
