Most but not all chapters, usual structure of command

Chapter master ->Officer core* -> First company Captain -> Captains -> Sargents -> Battle brothers -> Scouts

Officer core is broken down as such

Head Chaplin -> Chaplins
Head librarian -> Librarians
Head Apothecary ->Apothecaries
Master of the forge ->Tech marines

Most head of officer cores cant really pull rank on one another, officer positions and subsaquint positions under them do not operate under the normal doctrine and exist outside of the 1000 battle brothers set by the Codices.

Captains cant pull rank over other captains unless its the first company because usually they are the vanguard/honor guard and have a higher rank

Sargent are the same rank wise, or authority wise across all companies

IE a scount Sgt = battle company Sgt, same with vet sgt

Scout Sergeants have a lot less experience than a Battle Company Sergeant. They are technically still Neophytes.

I would argue against that

Scout sgt Telion directly comes to bind, Scout Sargent cyrus directly come to mind, Telion remains in the 10th to keep training.

Never seen that suggested in any modern lore. If anything Scout Sergeants are usually described as some of the most experienced because their job is so important.

This, if anything i would even suggest they are more skilled then battle company Sgt's simply because they need to train the new guys.

Its one thing to know a subject, its an entirely different thing to teach it.
