Sergeant

Sergeant is a military or police force rank that represents a non-commissioned officer of substantial experience or responsibility. This rank, and its derivatives, are often the third tier of enlistment in most militaries, and the second tier of responsibility in police forces.

In Union Service
A Sergeant in the Union Marines or Provincial Army would typically lead a squad, and represented a seasoned, rather well-experienced soldier &mdash; timid or inexperienced sergeants rarely lasted long.

The Sergeant tier had several derivatives, including: Technical Sergeant, Section Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant, Master Sergeant, and Fleet Sergeant.
