Military

I'm fairly certain this question applies to American and Commonwealth armies. Not sure about others. It is frequently said that a newborn second lieutenant should listen to his sergeant's advice, and follow it. The 2LT outranks the SGT, but the SGT has far more practical experience. Are there any circumstances where a 2LT reasonably should overrule his sergeant? If there aren't, then why doesn't the rank structure reflect that?

I have an upcoming meeting with the chief of police at my school and came up with a whole plan. Though it’s not just security it’s a labyrinth so sophisticated it was ether completely deter someone from even trying or completely break and capture the intruder. If anyone tried the first time and managed to get past front 1 and 2. They would have to deal with “the creator” guiding the squadron and controlling the labyrinth helping students escape while leading the intruder away from students or capture.
