| '''Staff Sergeant''' is the sixth enlisted rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and the [[UNSC Army]] (E-6), and the fifth enlisted rank in the [[UNSC Air Force]] (E-5). It is a [[staff non-commissioned officer]] rank. The rank insignia is represented by three gold "chevrons" over one "rocker" in the Army, three red chevrons and one rocker with crossed rifles in the middle field for the Marines, and four white rockers for the Air Force.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 47''</ref>

| Army and Marine Staff Sergeants are equal to a [[Technical Sergeant]] in the Air Force or a [[Petty Officer First Class]] in the [[UNSC Navy|Navy]]. Air Force SSgts are equal to a Sergeant in the Army and Marines, and a Petty Officer Second Class in the Navy.

| | |
| Staff Sergeants typically command [[squad]]s of 9 - 11 [[UNSC Army|Army Infantry]] and serve as [[Platoon]] Sergeants in the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], which are the second in command of the platoon. [[Avery Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]] were platoon leaders on [[Harvest]], and were tasked with training a [[Colonial Militia]], with each responsible for a platoon-sized group of men. Although a bit different from the other services, it is the Air Force's first non-commissioned officer rank as well as the first rank to which promotion is on a competitive basis.
