The staff adjutant is a rank of the Swiss Army (abbr .: staff adjutant ). The rank was introduced on January 1, 1996 with the new military law.

The militia staff adjutant is a staff member and advisor to the commandant in all areas that do not concern officers at battalion / department level and at the same time the specialist superior of the adjutant non-commissioned officers and the main field women . As the highest-ranking non-commissioned officer, he is also an ensign of the battalion or division. A senior officer or adjutant non-commissioned officer can only receive the proposal for a staff adjutant if he has completed at least 3 repetition courses in his function and has proven the skills and achievements for the high qualification required for this function. (Exceptions are the professional NCOs, here other criteria are decisive for a promotion).

According to the description of the Swiss Army, a staff adjutant must be a successful, self-critical, recognized and innovative senior non-commissioned officer with practical training and leadership experience, a role model in appearance and behavior, with assertiveness, technically competent, didactically and methodically skillful and with good empathy and sense for Collaboration.

The professional staff adjutant, on the other hand, is employed as a class teacher in candidate schools (cadre schools) or, as the head of specialist training or head of a department, has increased specialist and training responsibility (leader and specialist supervisor of professional non-commissioned officers, temporary non-commissioned officers and / or civilian specialist teachers).

Often he has a full or part-time position as a project or sub-project manager for the development of courses, including the definition and specification of the necessary infrastructure, training equipment, training media and training of the teaching staff.

When deployed abroad, he is referred to as a Staff Warrant Officer (SWO). NATO rank code : OR-9.
