Editing Sergeant major (section)

===Australia===
The most senior warrant officer in the [[Australian Army]] holds the unique rank of warrant officer (introduced in 1991 and senior to WO1) and the appointment of Regimental Sergeant Major of the Army (RSM-A). The RSM-A is responsible to the Chief of Army, but responsive to all ranks across the Army. The RSM-A is a member of the personal staff of the Chief of Army. The post of RSM-A has existed since January 1983 and was held by a WO1 until 1991. The RSM-A is the equivalent of the [[Royal Australian Navy]]'s Warrant Officer of the Navy (WO-N) and the [[Royal Australian Air Force]]'s Warrant Officer of the Air Force (WOFF-AF).<ref name="Australia">{{cite web|url=https://www.army.gov.au/our-people/australian-army-rank-structure/other-ranks|title=Australian Army Other Ranks|website=Australian Army|access-date=20 June 2019}}</ref>
