I get where you're going. A similar dynamic emerged in my headquarters "platoon" when I was an XO on a deployment. At one point, we were 95% Chiefs and 5% Indians. We had to hammer home the point that duties were doled out on the basis of duty position, rather than rank. Otherwise, one PFC would have been doing PMCS on every vehicle. This also helped to clarify to them why I did not become a co-commander after being promoted to CPT - a concept that seemed to mystify them.
