How do you setup a platoon formation?
Squad Leaders "fall in" first, and in order of first second third, facing the Platoon Sergeant with one arm's distance between them front to back. The respective squad's members fall in to the left of the Squad Leaders, generally in Fire Team order (1st 2nd 3rd). The Platoon Sergeant centers him/herself on the formation and when giving commands faces the formation. The Platoon Commander centers him/herself just behind and facing the back of the formation. Here's a diagram: Squad Leaders < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < PLT SGT > < < < < PLT Cmnder < < < < < < < < < < < < < < <

Most likely, there isn't much of one. The First Sergeant will know who the Post Commander is, but won't have much reason to interact with them, as they'd be quite far removed from each other as far as the chain of command goes.

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.
