Which NCO was the first Marine to serve as Sergeant Major of Woman Marines?

• A. Bertha Peters
• B. Dan Daly
• C. Edgar Huff
• D. Alfred McMichael

Answer: (A)

The question tests knowledge of a historic milestone in leadership for Women Marines. Bertha Peters became the first Marine to serve as the Sergeant Major of Women Marines, the senior enlisted leader for the Women Marines during World War II. This position placed her at the top of the women’s enlisted ranks, advising command leadership on matters affecting female Marines and helping set standards, discipline, and morale within the Women’s Reserve. Her appointment signified a major step in recognizing and advancing women into senior enlisted leadership roles in the Marine Corps. The other names are notable figures, but none of them held this pioneering post in the Women Marines.
