Non Commissioned Officer
Aside from keeping the Lieutenant from getting hung up on themselves, Platoon Sergeants have a number of duties. In the cantonment area, NCOs run the show. They're responsible for counseling of soldiers, training of NCOs under them, developing the skills and abilities of enlisted soldiers, general maintenance, etc. Officers lead in the field, but in any good unit, you should never see an officer in the enlisted barracks, save for a formal inspection. Those duties fall to the NCOs.
