	A PROPOSAL TO REFORM THE ENLISTED RANKS OF THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES
		Currently, the senior enlisted member of a US Army infantry platoon is typically a sergeant first class (E-7) and squads (each of which consists of up to about a dozen men) are usually led by staff sergeants (E-6) with two sergeants (E-5) each to assist them.
		However, just changing the titles so that platoon sergeants are staff sergeants, squad leaders are sergeants, etc. (which was the Second World War-era arrangement in the US services) is more feasible as it involves no structural modification.
		For example, a sergeant would be redesignated a corporal, but would have the acting rank of sergeant, and would therefore continue to wear a sergeant's insignia and enjoy the same privileges.
