Patrick,
It is not uncommon for the CSM to drive the CO. The CO visits all
subordinate units & so does the CSM. Most times while the CO has meetings
& briefings with the Officers, the CSM, First Sgt & PLT Sgts are in
meetings. The CSM also visits to oversee morale, security & efficiency
areas.
Many units have limited vehicles & the 2 key individuals in one vehicle,
frees up another vehicle for logistical working areas & transportation.
