In the army, each position has its own position and function, and platoon and squad leader are these two seemingly ordinary but important positions. Many people will wonder: in the army, are company officers and squad leaders of the same rank?
First of all, it is necessary to make one thing clear, in terms of military rank, the platoon leader and the squad leader are indeed at the same level, and they are both cadres at the principal and deputy levels, "equal ranks". However, in practice, there is a big difference between the two, and each person is responsible for each key link in the operation of the unit.
As you can see from the name, this is the commander of a platoon, usually a platoon has 30-40 people. They are responsible for the daily training of the troops, tactical command, ideological and political education, and the core of the cadre ranks. They must have excellent military qualities, excellent organization and coordination skills, and a strong sense of responsibility, so as to ensure that the soldiers of their platoon can play an effective role in cooperation and carry out different combat missions in battle.
The squad leader is the core personnel of the entire company, and his responsibility is to provide food, material procurement, financial management and some management work for the soldiers of the entire company (or company). At the same time, we must pay attention to the quality of life of the soldiers, so that they can eat and drink enough, and always maintain a strong will to fight. Therefore, although the sergeant major is not a frontal battle, it is also an important factor that affects the morale of the army.
