Staff sergeant is a military rank, a traditional infantry or army enlisted grade held by a noncommissioned officer. In comparison to naval ranking systems, this rank is equivalent to the naval petty officer (1st or 2nd class, depending on service).

This rank was used by the US Air Force, where it was senior to sergeant and junior to technical sergeant. An air police staff sergeant was accidentally beamed aboard the USS Enterprise during a time travel mission in 1969. (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday")

His rank was "E-5" staff sergeant, a rank below that of the US Army and US Marine Corps staff sergeant, both which have the pay grade of "E-6". The Air Force staff sergeant rank is equivalent to the naval rank of petty officer 2nd class.
