Another way you could phrase this: take out the word officer and replace with leader. Then take out SNCO and replace it with experience people.
I very much agree and didn't mean to insinuate otherwise. I was trying to make it interchangeable with the civilian world.The only thing I will add is that the SNCO is also a leader. Usually a leader with way more experience than the officer leader, but paid way less. In fact underpaid.
From my experience in the Army, company level officers always listened and conferred with their senior NCOs.

Depends on the military. In the US military, I'd entirely agree. Finding out that my USAF MSgts were paid less than a butter-bar was a shock. In the Brit military, the SNCOs are much better paid, with a FSgt making about the same as a Flt Lt (O-3), while a WO makes the same as an newly-promoted Sqn Ldr (O-4). A Plt Off (O-1) is only paid about half of a FSgt's salary. It's still not great but way better than the US military.
While I applaude your creative paraphrasing, you're omitting the subject of my post.Are you suggesting that a newly-commissioned officer would ignore the advice of an experienced SNCO?
I am asking about the Russian army and the relationship between a hypothetical newly commissioned lieutenant and an experienced sergeant, and positing that in the Russian military culture I would not foresee our lieutenant consulting his sergeant.Does the Russian army have an equivalent to Western NCOs? I can't imagine a newly commissioned lieutenant deferring to their battle hardened sergeant.
Time for some LCACs?Nova Kakhopka is draining fast. Even if the Ukrainians do not attempt a Dnipro crossing or flanking through the reservoir bed, Russians have to consider it. Which creates about 200 Km of new undefended front-line.

One of the totally useless pieces of information I have picked up over the years relates to this posting, in an odd kind of way.With naked ass against the whole World
Putin admits Russia doesn't have enough drones, warplanes, and ammunition for the war in Ukraine, even though it's been rushing military production all year
"It became clear that many things were missing," Putin told state media, saying Russia boosted production by 10 times in some areas last year.www.yahoo.com
A strategic planning meeting in the Kremlin: 'There are two crucial questions on the table: providing military personnel with a socks, and establishing of the World domination. Since the socks' question seems unsolvable let's go straight to the second point.'
It was called the Russian sock.One of the totally useless pieces of information I have picked up over the years relates to this posting, in an odd kind of way.
Until approx 10 years ago Russian infantry were not issued with socks. They had a piece of material issued to them that when folded, was used as a sock.
There was a BBC program where Russia let a unit in following the basic training give to new recruits, and that was the most unexpected bit that I recall
