USMC 1SG is probably the same as with the USA in Vietnam. The "First Shirts" (also called "Top" in the US Army) ran the companies. Commanders simply commanded them. Translation: (in the old army) Officers gave orders...NCOs carried them out (Commanding=Giving orders/Running the company=Carrying those orders out).

Marines in Vietnam 1968 - 1969?
Besides normal Marine infantry, artillery, and avaition assets, the Corps also had 3 tank battalions in Vietnam, the third being a reinforcement battalion. US Army units began replacing USMC units in I Corps in '69. During '69 onward, most of the USMC units were in the big places like Da Nang mostly operating the airfields with their liasion units. Or some cases driving trucks with their transportation units. USMC units in Northern I Corps places such as Con Thien (US Army called them firebases A4 and C2), Camp Carrol, Quang Tri, Dong Ha, and later Khe Sanh, Firebase Vandergrift, Firebase Lang Vei (actually an ex-Green Beret outpost), were all taken over by the US Army's 1st Brigade 5th Mechanized Infantry Division by '69. USMC truck drivers (in USMC marked trucks) were observed driving along highway 9 (QL9 or Route 9) during Operation Lam Son 719 in 1971. The opinion at that time was that only the Marines would drive that route during that operation, as US Army truck drivers had suffered massive casualties and many were refusing to continue to drive that route. Consequently, someone had to call in the Marines.
