soldiers, guns and tanks. The Sergeant rank is a ‘senior role of responsibility’ as it can take up to around 12 years to be promoted to. The ability for the individual to lead soldiers is taken in seriously in order to gain the promotion. Sergeants take up the responsibility to command platoons of up to 35 troops whilst also helping senior officers.
