'''Sergeant Major''' is the ninth and highest enlisted rank of the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] and is a [[non-commissioned officer]]. It is equal in pay grade to [[Master Gunnery Sergeant]], although the two have different responsibilities. Sergeant Major is equal to the rank of [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] in the [[UNSC Navy]].
 
==Sergeant Major vs. Master Gunnery Sergeant==
 
In the United States Marine Corps, eligible [[Gunnery Sergeant]]s indicate whether they wish to be considered for promotion to [[Master Sergeant]] or [[First Sergeant]], and thus whether they enter the promotional track for Master Gunnery Sergeant or Sergeant Major. Once promoted, the promotional track is permanent; lateral movement between the two programs is not possible.
 
One of the major differences between the two ranks is that Sergeant Majors have a general command status, while a Master Gunnery Sergeant's role involves providing technical military leadership.
 
Whether this carries over into the UNSC Marine Corps is unconfirmed.
 
==Responsibilities==
 
Although technically the same rank as a Master Gunnery Sergeant, Sergeant Majors are given more authority. They serve as the senior NCO for battalion level units and above, advising and assisting the battalion (or above) commander directly.
