Staff Sergeant Robert Stevens, 25, also was demoted to the rank of private but was spared discharge from the military under the sentence handed down in the first court martial linked to a rogue army unit alleged to have killed Afghans for sport.
As part of the plea agreement, Stevens will also now testify against other soldiers accused of more grisly crimes in Afghanistan.
A dozen soldiers face charges related to attacks on Afghan civilians earlier this year, including three murders, in which victims' bodies were alleged to have been mutilated.
All belong to the Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Division's Stryker brigade at Forward Operating Base Ramrod.
