Cadet Staff Sergeant

Staff Sergeant is the fourth rank earned by cadets. Promotions to Sergeant are granted by the ACF County Commandant.

There is no set criteria in order for a cadet to be promoted to Staff Sergeant, however cadets being considered for promotion usually have at least four years' experience, and must have passed at least APC 3 star (though this is usually higher)

Cadet Staff Sergeants are more heavily involved with the company level.
