A-B

Missouri State Militia Cavalry

A-B

The First Sergeant: The duties of first sergeant are peculiar to his position, and require capacity and knowledge superior to those of other sergeants. Whilst he does not rank as high as some others, nor receive as much pay, his position is one of the most responsible and most honorable that non-commissioned officers can occupy.

The first sergeant is selected by the captain of the company from the other sergeants, without regard to rank, and commissioned by the commanding officer of the regiment. he may be reduced, like other non-commissioned officers, by the commanding officer on the recommendation of the company commander, or by sentence of a court-martial. The pay of first sergeants of artillery, cavalry, and infantry is twenty-four dollars per month, with one ration and an allowance of clothing.

He has the immediate supervision of the company. He gets his orders from the captain or officer commanding the company, and sees that they are performed in the company. He is, in fact, the foreman; the men are the artisans. He lays out and superintends the details of the work which the captain has directed to be executed.
