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.

This grade exists in some form in other rank arrangements, such as the Bajoran Militia and Klingon Defense Force.

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