Staff Sergeant

A Staff Sergeant is a military non-commissioned officer, typically in the Army or Marines, ranking above a Sergeant and below a Sergeant First Class. They usually have several years of experience and are responsible for supervising small teams, ensuring tasks are completed effectively, and maintaining discipline. Staff Sergeants often serve as leaders and trainers, providing guidance and mentorship to lower-ranked soldiers or Marines. Their role combines leadership with technical expertise, vital for operational success and personnel development within their units.
