👉 In the United States military, a sergeantcy is a rank in the ranks of officers. It is generally considered the second highest rank after that of captaincy. The sergeantcy is awarded to the most experienced and capable enlisted personnel who have demonstrated exceptional service and leadership qualities. Sergeantcies are typically held by members of the enlisted personnel, although some officers may also be awarded sergeantcies. Sergeantcies are often used as a promotion from non-commissioned officer to commissioned officer.
