REME Appointment CASM
This weekend was the Arborfield Old Boys reunion, great weekend, but I digress. In attendance was the REME CASM (Corps Artificer Sergeant Major), a recent appointment to be a link between DEME(A) and the Corps on the ground. I noticed his badge as one I had not seen before, and he told me that there is now a similar appointment within all the Corps of the army and that this is the badge they will wear. Pity the 'Hammer & Tongs' don't match! The needlework leaves a little to be desired also!

Joihn,
So the rank would be Corps Sergeant Major? John |

The title is actually Corps RSM and the individual is ranked as the most senior RSM/WO1 in the Corps for which he or she holds the appointment. My brother was the Corps RSM of the Royal Signals a few years back (although I don't think that he wore any special pattern of rank badge at that time)

NO , The rank is WO1 and the appointment is Corps Artificer Sergeant Major CASM
I'm not 100% sure but I think we still have Corps RSM for the military side of things and the CASM deals with the technical side. Last edited by REMEVMBEA1; 08-06-15 at 12:43 PM. |

From the late 1970s the Corps RSM of the Intelligence Corps wore a Bullion on Cypress Green Number 1 Dress WO1 rank badge on Number 2 Dress and the Jersey Heavy Wool.
An example in my album: http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ictureid=12220 The new Corps RSM badges seem to be of a universal standard pattern and are designed for the recently introduced Future Army Dress (FAD) which will replace Number 2 Dress and Officers' Service Dress with a standard design and darker shade of khaki (or so the MOD has planned!!!)

The badge of rank for the Senior WOI of each Corps was designed and authorised in January 2005. However it was left to the Corps to decide if it would be used, there was to be no Corps distinctions, however that was soon forgotten. Most of the badges are produced in a far of land through one company. The decision to have the badge sealed and given an NSN is waiting to be made. Therefor each user purchases the badges or their respective Corps does.
The first one came out of Germany before the final design was authorised, the second is an example of othose now in use. Last edited by 54Bty; 09-02-22 at 05:30 PM. |

CORPS WO 1
To be a R.S.M. surely you must be in a REGIMENT ie 36 ENGINEER REGIMENT.(ex sapper) So CORPS SERGEANT MAJOR would be the correct title to use and not C.R.S.M.?? I stand to be corrected.

Intelligence Corps - Corps Regimental Sergeant Major
This year the Intelligence Corps is celebrating the 75th anniversary of its reformation in July 1940. Among the events a parade to mark the Freedom of Ashford took place yesterday 7 June 2015.
I took the opportunity to photograph the badge of rank of the Corps Regimental Sergeant Major (CRSM) worn on Service Dress (previously called FAD). Tim
