===Army=== The rank of technical sergeant existed from after World War I until 1948 when the rank was renamed [[sergeant first class]]. In 1920 the army combined several battalion/squadron level "staff" NCO ranks, including [[Quartermaster sergeant|battalion quartermaster sergeant]], battalion supply sergeant, [[ordnance sergeant]], hospital sergeant, three grades of master sergeant (junior grade), and six additional senior-level technical and specialist ranks into the new technical sergeant rank. In 1944 when rifle squad leaders became [[staff sergeant]]s, [[platoon sergeant]]s were promoted to technical sergeants. In 1948 the army renamed technical sergeant as sergeant first class.<ref>Perrenot,P.
