How many Sergeants are in the US Army?

The latest figures I can find online are for 2005. See the following link, page 32. See related link below for official Army document. There is more than one level of sergeant in the US Army, so I'll give a total, as well as the number by rank. I assume you mean active-duty US Army, and not US Army National Guard, and possibly not the US Army Reserve, but the document does not indicate whether the latter two organisations are included or not. In the US Army, ranks E-5 (NATO OR-5) to E-9 (OR-9) are all variants of a sergeant. It should be noted, for comparison to other armies, that this is not true of all armies. In the British Army, by example, only OR-6 and OR-7 are sergeants (Sergeant and Colour/Staff-sergeant, respectively). OR-8 and OR-9 in the British Army are Warrant Officers. While addressed as Sergeants-Major, they are not considered Non-Commissioned Officers, or Sergeants. Also, the role of fire-team leader, performed in the US Army by an OR-5 Sergeant is actually performed in the British Army by an OR-3 Lance-Corporal. The role of squad/section-commander, performed in the US Army by an OR-6 Staff-Sergeant, is performed in the British Army by an OR-4 Corporal. The British Army has no OR-5 grade. The role of second-in-command of a rifle platoon, which is performed in the British Army by a Sergeant, is performed in the US Army by a Sergeant First Class. The roles assigned to different ranks, and the number of NCOs to privates, will be different in non-infantry units. The total shown for ranks E-5 to E-9 is: 189,134 The totals by grades are below E-9 (Sergeant Major of the Army; Command Sergeant Major; Sergeant Major): 3,409 E-8 (First Sergeant; Master Sergeant): 10,692 E-7 (Sergeant First Class): 37,810 E-6 (Staff Sergeant): 59,885 E-5 (Sergeant): 77,338
