The [[Codex Astartes]] dictates that every [[Space Marine]] Squad is to be led by a '''Space Marine Sergeant'''{{Fn|1}}, a veteran of hundreds of battles, forged in the fires of war, who will lead his squad with an icy calm through the most dangerous of scenarios and emerge victorious.{{Fn|4}}
==Overview==

Sergeants typically lead [[Tactical Squad|Tactical]], [[Assault Squad|Assault]], [[Devastator]], [[Terminator Squad|Terminator]], [[Veteran Squad (Space Marines)|Veterans]], [[Scout]] Squads.{{Fn|2a}} But a sergeant acquiring the Veteran Status may be transferred to a , as well as any kind of [[Battleline Squad|Battleline]], [[Command Close Support Squad|Close Support]] or the and [[First CompanyFire Support Squad|Fire Support]].Squads{{Fn|6a16b}}.
To become a Sergeant, a [[Space Marine]] has to prove himself capable of keeping his nerves through the toughest of warzones, as well as being a formidable fighter. He has to be willing to make difficult decisions based on his instincts, and so only a few Space Marines have the required level of ability to take on this role.{{Fn|4}}
A sergeant acquiring the Veteran Status may be transferred to a [[Command Squad]] or the [[First Company]].{{Fn|6a}}
