Troop Sergeant Major
In the British Army, the troop sergeant major (TSM) is the senior non-commissioned officer in a Royal Artillery troop, usually a warrant officer class 2.
This differs from a cavalry troop or infantry platoon, in which the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer (NCO) is usually a sergeant.
