The Platoon Sergeant (PS) is a Staff Sergeant. This role is key if the unit is to function well and stayed alive, for the PS is typically a senior NCO who has plenty of battlefield and combat experience and serves as a mentor to his officer, sharing his knowledge and expertise, thus saving their men's lives and keeping the officer out of trouble! The Platoon Sergeant was originally issued a M1A1 Thompson, however in the Feb '43 amendments to the TO&E, the Thompson was changed to the M1 Garand. 

For our own S/Sgt, his main duty is to get the men assembled for any activity, like Role Call, Rifle Drill and Foot Drill Lessons.
