Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant (rank)

(Redirected from RQMS)

A Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant, usually abbreviated to RQMS, is a military rank in some militaries, and an appointment in others. Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant is an appointment held by a senior Warrant Officer class 2 in the British Army and Royal Marines. The RQMS is the senior assistant to the Quartermaster of a regiment or battalion and also usually functions as the deputy Regimental Sergeant Major. Some units have more than one. RQMS was a separate rank until 1915, when it became a warrant officer appointment with the creation of the rank of warrant officer class 2.[1]
