Who is the sergeant responsible to?
There are several ranks of sergeants. Buck sergeants (three chevrons) and staff sergeants (three chevrons with one rocker) led squads, usually of about twelve men. A platoon had four squads. There was a platoon sergeant (three chevrons, two rockers), the top enlisted man in a platoon. The platoon commander was supposed to be an officer, a second lieutenant or a first lieutenant. Platoon leaders got killed a lot. Platoon leader was the single most lethal job of the war. When the lieutenant went down the platoon sergeant took over, until a new lieutenant was assigned. So, squad leaders reported to either the platoon sergeant or the platoon commander, and the platoon sergeant reported to the platoon commander, unless he had become the platoon commander. If the platoon sergeant was leading the platoon he met with the captain or the first lieutenant commanding the company, with the other platoon commanders, when officers were called to company HQ to discuss plans or receive orders.

How does the army ranger ranking system work?
In the United States, ranks in the army are numerous, and where one is ranked can depend upon a variety of factors. Those who enlist in the army when they are 18, and who do not have officer training begin with few opportunities to command others. In fact, the first of the ranks in the army is Private E-1, usually assigned to those in basic training. Ranks in the army can also depend upon years served, promotions, extraordinary service and continuing education. Ranks in the army establish a chain of command and serve as a pay scale. The highest of the ranks in the army, General of the Army, has been held by only a few people and has been a vacant position for numerous years. Also, there is distinction in the ranks of the army between commissioned officers and non-commissioned ranks. While many non-commissioned officers, called warrant officers, as well as enlisted soldiers can have control of other soldiers, commissioned officers hold command. One can become a commissioned officer in the army by one of four ways: through the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC), Officer Candidate School (OCS), the United States Military Academy at West Point, or an officer training program for adults who have previously earned a degree. The most basic difference with a commissioned officer is that he or she has earned a degree and undergoes additional leadership training. Generally, a commissioned officer is commissioned and recognized by the US Senate. Positions like general, colonel and captain all are commissioned status. A subset of ranks in the army is those given to warrant officers. Warrant officers tend to have specialized knowledge, either from army training or college education in certain fields. They may be expert scientists, or have particular knowledge in a rare field. They can command those with a lower rank, and are often considered equivalent to many of the lowest ranks in the army of commissioned officers. However, the only time a warrant officer is commissioned is if he or she becomes Chief Warrant Officer. The following are the ranks in the army of commissioned officers from highest to low: * General of the Army * General (GEN) * Lieutenant General (LTG) * Major General (MG) * Brigadier General (BG) * Colonel (COL) * Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) * Major (MAJ) * Captain (CPT) * First Lieutenant (1LT) * Second Lieutenant (2LT) Those who serve in a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), as on a college campus may be given the rank of cadet or officer candidate. When they enlist after completing college, they almost always are given the lowest of the commissioned ranks in the army, Second Lieutenant. However, those who have specialized knowledge may instead be assigned ranks in the office that are Warrant Officer Ranks. Warrant Officer ranks in the army are the following, listed from high to low: * Chief Warrant Officer 5 (CW5) * Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CW4) * Chief Warrant Officer 3 (CW3) * Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2) * Warrant Officer 1 (W01) Those who enlist without a commission, and without a college degree begin their careers as privates. Non-commissioned ranks in the army are listed as follows from high to low: * Sergeant Major of the Army * Command Sergeant Major (CSM) * Sergeant Major (SGM) * First Sergeant (1SG) * Master Sergeant (MSG) * Sergeant First Class (SFC) * Staff Sergeant (SSG) * Sergeant (SGT) * Corporal (CPL) * Specialist (SPC) * Private First Class (PFC) * Private E2 (PVT2) * Private E1 (PVT)
How you can be second lieutenant?
To become a second lieutenant, you typically need to complete a bachelor's degree program, participate in officer training programs such as Officer Candidate School (OCS) or the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), and then successfully commission as an officer in the military. After completing these requirements, you may be eligible for a commission as a second lieutenant in the branch of service you have chosen.
The term top when referring to a us army first sergeant where did originate from?
The term "top" when referring to a US Army First Sergeant is derived from the phrase "top sergeant." This phrase likely originated from the idea that the First Sergeant holds a position of high authority and responsibility within the unit, often serving as the senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) and advisor to the commanding officer. The use of "top" is a colloquialism that has become synonymous with the role of a First Sergeant in the army.
