In the SLDF, a Master Sergeant was the highest-ranking noncommissioned officer. Their duties and responsibilities were similar to those of a [[Sergeant Major]]. Soldiers had to spend at least four years in the SLDF to get to this rank. Master Sergeants usually commanded a company's best platoon. A 'Mech lance could be commanded by an experienced Master Sergeant.<ref>''The Star League'', p. 112</ref>
