Ryan Davis is a phenomenal NCO and leader. I have known Ryan for more than 5 years. I met him when I commanded the 15th Brigade Support Battalion and he served as my Operations Sergeant. The Operations Sergeant position is an assignment reserved for a Master Sergeant, but we placed Ryan in this position as a Sergeant First Class because he was already performing at the next level and he was clearly operating at a level above his peers. As the Operations Sergeant, Ryan was responsible for ensuring that the Battalion had the resources it needed to execute training and his section published all operations orders which provided instructions to all subordinate units. Ryan executed this assignment flawlessly. I routinely gave Ryan the toughest tasks because I knew that he would accomplish the mission. Ryan did so well that we assigned him to be the HHC First Sergeant, another position reserved for a Master Sergeant. Ryan expertly led the hardest company in the Battalion and significantly increased its readiness. Ryan possesses excellent written and oral communication skills and he is an excellent coach and mentor. He takes the initiative and uses his keen intellect to solve tough problems. Ryan is the ultimate team player and team builder. He will be value added to any high performing team. I strongly recommend Ryan for any position in any organization.

I had the honor of serving alongside Master Sergeant (MSG) Stacy Ryan Davis while I was the 15th Brigade Support Battalion Operations Officer in a forward-deployed environment. MSG Davis served as the Operations Sergeant, and his performance was nothing short of exceptional. His leadership, professionalism, and dedication directly contributed to the battalion’s operational readiness and training programs.

MSG Davis led efforts to improve logistical coordination for six maneuver battalions, managed battalion schools and training, and executed high-stakes redeployment operations with remarkable precision. His ability to manage complex operations, develop leaders, and enforce standards made him one of the most competent Non-Commissioned Officers I’ve ever worked with.

MSG Davis is a transformational leader and a true asset to any team or organization. I give him my highest recommendation.

MSG Davis served as my Operations Sergeant Major while I was the 1CDSB Brigade S3 from June 2024 to June 2025, and I can say without hesitation that he was the most capable senior NCO I’ve ever worked with.

Most importantly he led with integrity, brought out the best in his teams, and always kept the organization pointed in the right direction.

From operational planning to organizational design, his intellect, professionalism, character, transformative leadership style, and ability to get results consistently stood out.

I often relied on him the same way I would a field grade officer. In fact, his insight and judgment in many ways were more helpful than the input from fellow officers.
