Description
Introducing 'Military Insignia & Heraldry' collection by Serge Averbukh, showcasing new media paintings featuring military and government heraldry. Here you will find pieces featuring U.S. Army First Sergeant - 1SG Rank Insignia with Army Seal and Logo over Blue Velvet.
First Sergeant is the title given to holders of certain ranks and positions within the armed forces, and generally serves as the senior enlisted advisor of a unit. While the specifics of the title may differ between the branches, all first sergeants can be identified by the presence of a lozenge (colloquially "diamond") shaped figure on their rank insignia.
The rank of First Sergeant (abbreviated 1SG) is above the rank of Sergeant First Class and below the rank of Sergeant Major. It is equal in grade to Master Sergeant, although the two ranks have different responsibilities. The rank is abbreviated as "1SG". Master sergeants are laterally promoted to first sergeant upon selection by the senior leadership at a battalion or higher level, depending on available billets and opportunities. Upon reassignment to a non-first sergeant billet, the soldier reverts back to their original rank of master sergeant. First sergeants are generally the senior non-commissioned officers of company (battery, troop) sized units, and are unofficially but commonly referred to as "first shirt", "top", "top sergeant", "top soldier", "top kick", or "top hat", due to their seniority and their position at the top of the company's enlisted ranks. They are sometimes referred to as "second hat" because the Company Commander may entrust them with important responsibilities, even over one of the company's lieutenants.
First Sergeants handle the leadership and professional development of their soldiers, manage the promotable soldiers within the company, and are the first step in an Article 15 (non-judicial punishment) proceeding, as well as the daily responsibilities of running the company/unit.
Until September 1942, First Sergeant was a Grade 2 enlisted rank, equivalent to Technical Sergeant; it was then elevated to Grade 1, equivalent to Master Sergeant.
