A statement was released concerning the appointment of the 15th Sergeant Major of the Army.
Command Sergeant Major Daniel A. Dailey, the senior enlisted non-commissioned officer for the Training and Doctrine Command has been chosen to take the position. A lot of the soldiers in the combat arms are pleased to see an infantryman take the job, especially since the infantry do a lot of the front line fighting, especially in battles like Sadr City, the mountains of Afghanistan, and during the Surge of Baghdad. He will be receiving the position from the incumbent Sergeant Major of the Army, Raymond F. Chandler III, on the 30th of January in 2015. The position takes on a number of different roles, the most prominent of which would be his assignment on recommending improvements in the standard of living of soldiers, including enlisted personnel and their families.
The Army Secretary John McHugh expressed great approval in the decision. He said that Dailey would do great in the position, the same way that Chandler was able to handle it. Army seniors have said that Dailey is a great choice for the job, especially because of his great career background. He has been recommended by other seniors knowing that he had gained great experiences in the field that will help him gain wisdom in the execution of his new task. Dailey is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation New Dawn, Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm.
