Command Sergeant Major Daniel A. Eubanks was born on November 9, 1963 in Thomson, Georgia. He began his Army career as an Engineer Equipment Repairman. After completing an initial assignment with the 548th Engineer Battalion at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, he transitioned to a Heavy Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic.

Following assignments with the 504th Maintenance Company and the 188th Medical Detachment in Bamberg, Germany, he was selected to attend Drill Sergeant School where his leadership ability earned him recognition as the Commandant’s Award Winner. Assigned to the 86th Ordnance Battalion, Fort Knox, KY, from June 1988 through June 1992, he served as Drill Sergeant and Senior Drill Sergeant.

Following a tour as Motor Sergeant for the US Army Garrison, Camp Red Cloud, 501st Support Group, and Area I in Korea from July 1992 to June 1993, CSM Eubanks took on several positions of increasing responsibility at Fort Bliss, TX. After duty as Battalion Motor Sergeant, Eubanks was selected as First Sergeant for the 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade. As First Sergeant, he prepared the unit for three successful Air Defense Artillery exercises, while exacting standards which led the unit’s selection for the Fort Bliss Maintenance Excellence Award.

In July 1995, Eubanks was selected by the Department of the Army Inspector General to serve as the Non-Commissioned Officer-in-Charge for the Fort Bliss, Inspector General Office. He was responsible for supervising five senior noncommissioned officers, conducting inspections, and providing assistance to Soldiers in need.

Eubanks returned to Korea in 1997 as a First Sergeant for the 304th Signal Battalion and the 61st Maintenance Company. Following two years as the First Sergeant for the 494th Transportation Company at Fort Campbell, KY, he returned to Europe as the Senior Logistics Sergeant Major for the 1st Armored Division Support Command.

In 2002, Eubanks became the Command Sergeant Major for the 10th Forward Support Battalion at Fort Drum, NY. Deploying to Operation Enduring Freedom IV, he was responsible for the discipline, health, welfare, training and conduct of 6000 Soldiers. In recognition of his abilities, he was selected as the Command Sergeant Major for the 10th Division Support Command. Serving during the Army’s transformation to a more modular force, he facilitated the unit’s transition into the 10th Sustainment Brigade as its first Command Sergeant Major.

CSM Eubanks was selected to be the 9th Ordnance Regimental Command Sergeant Major in 2002. RCSM Eubanks served as the continuity for three Chiefs of Ordnance and five Chiefs of Staff. During his tenure as RCSM, one of his primary responsibilities was assisting the Chief of Ordnance in preparing to relocate the entire Ordnance Center and Schools from Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Maryland and Redstone Arsenal, AL, to Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia. He was the only Command Sergeant Major or Sergeant Major assigned within the Ordnance Center and Schools to be present from the ground-breaking in Training Area 5 at Ft Lee, until the first group of students arrived and started classes in September 2009.

RCSM Eubanks actively contributed his leadership experience to the Pre-Command Courses at the Ordnance Center and Schools. He provided officers who were taking the reigns as new battalion and brigade level commanders, after years of staff positions, with realistic and unbiased feedback from a senior level logistics Command Sergeant Major. Prior to consolidation at Fort Gregg-Adams, VA, RCSM Eubanks took 100% responsibility and control for the daily operations for both Noncommissioned Officer Academies. He became the rater for both NCOA Commandants and revised the reporting, UCMJ procedures, NCO training, student drop and disciplinary procedures to a single standard. His leadership and guidance was definitely instrumental in the Ordnance Mechanical Maintenance NCO Academy receiving a 100% accreditation rating.

Command Sergeant Major Daniel A. Eubanks retired on July 31, 2010.
