OR-6 stands for NATO other ranks grade 6, a military pay grade abbreviation.
Places US E-6s, namely Army and Marine staff sergeants, Navy petty officers first class and Air Force technical sergeants, on the common NATO scale. British Army and RAF sergeants and Royal Navy petty officers are also OR-6.
Example: The coalition post calls for an OR-6 logistics NCO from any contributing nation.
Usage notes
The British Army sergeant, wearing three chevrons, therefore appears at the same NATO grade as a US staff sergeant, not a US sergeant. Comparing by NATO code rather than rank title avoids that mismatch.
