The Sergeant Major of the Army (Danish: Hærchefsergenten) is the most senior member of the other ranks of the Danish Army. The appointment holder has the rank of Chefsergeant (English: Sergeant Major). The post was created as part of the changes to the Danish Army in Autumn 2014, and is inspired by the American equivalent.[2] The holder is appointed to serve as adviser for the Army Staff and as well as a representative for all army NCOs.[3] The holder will further more be conveying his own and army leadership messages, and attitudes to army personal.[4] In 2016, the Royal Danish Air Force created the Chief Master Sergeant of the Royal Danish Air Force.[5] In 2018, the equivalent for the navy, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Royal Danish Navy, was created.[6]
The first holder is Henning Bæk, who was appointed in October 2014.[7] Bæk has expressed, that he will also be focusing on the uniform and grooming standards,[8] and intendeds to stay at the post between four and six years.[7]
