A Command Master Chief Petty Officer (CMDCM) is one of the most senior enlisted officer in a United States Navy command structure. In many ways he or she is considered a fountain of knowledge and a parent figure. Being the primary liaison between the officers and enlisted, they are a major resource for the commanding officer, and often are called upon to gauge morale and battle readiness. On smaller ships, this position may be filled by a Senior Chief Petty Officer. On submarines, these enlisted personnel are known as "Chief of the Boat", or COBs. The ranks Fleet Master Chief Petty Officer and Force Master Chief Petty Officer are used for larger commands such as U.S. Fleet Forces Command, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Submarine Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet, and Naval Air Force U.S. Pacific Fleet.

The United States Coast Guard utilizes the title and designation of Command Master Chief (CMC). These individuals are also informally referred to as "Gold Badge" due to the insignia they wear. Command Master Chiefs can either be Commandant of the Coast Guard or Master Chief Petty Officer of the Coast Guard designated Command Master Chiefs. One Commandant designated CMC is located at each Area, each District, both Maintenance and Logistics Commands, Headquarters, the Coast Guard Academy, and the Deployable Operations Group. One Commandant designated Reserve Command Master Chief (RCMC) is located at each Area, each District, and both Maintenance and Logistics Commands. One MCPOCG designated CMC is located at each Training Center, Coast Guard Recruiting Command, and the Personnel Service Center.
