MACO sergeant insignia patch.

Sergeant is a military rank, the equivalent of which is used by the service organizations of many civilizations. As a traditional infantry grade, sergeant is the highest enlisted rank in a fighting organization, above a corporal. In comparison to naval ranking systems, this rank is approximately equivalent to the naval chief petty officer grade.

On 20th century Earth, sergeants command squads, consisting of 8 to 12 troops.

This grade exists in some form in many rank arrangements.

N. Kemper, was a MACO Sergeant of 22nd century Earth
In the mirror universe, Mayweather was a MACO sergeant.
An air police sergeant of the US Air Force was accidentally beamed aboard the USS Enterprise during a time travel mission in 1969. His rank was E5, Staff Sergeant, a rank below that of the US Army and US Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, both with the pay grade of E6. The Air Force Staff Sergeant rank is equivalent to the naval rank of Petty Officer Second Class.

Other non-canon sources suggest the Bajoran Militia and Klingon Defense Force have sergeants.

Some rank systems use different grades of sergeant, such as (to name a few) the more senior "first sergeant," "staff sergeant," "master sergeant," "gunnery sergeant," "technical sergeant," "sergeant major," and "sergeant of the army."
