Ranks of senior officers. Military ranks

To figure out what ranks are, what they are issued for, or at least how they look, you need to serve in the army. At the OBZH school, boys are forced to learn them by heart, but it’s so easy to get confused in them that it’s better not to even suffer. In this article, we will try to explain in a simple way and help you understand all the ranks, how they look and what they give.

All ranks in the Russian army - from junior to senior

Knowing all the ranks in ascending order, you can easily understand who you are addressing or who is addressing you. In Russia there are only two types of military ranks, these are military and naval. Ship ranks usually include sailors:

• Coast security;
• naval military units;
• surface and submarine forces.

Military titles include all other people serving in military units:

• Armed forces;
• other military units and bodies.

Now let's decide what ranks are - from smallest to largest. There are only a few subspecies of titles:

1. Non-commissioned title.
2. Officer title.

Non-officer titles include privates, corporals, junior sergeants, "middle" sergeants, senior sergeants, foremen, warrant officers, and senior warrant officers. In the ship type: sailors, senior sailors, foremen in the second and first articles, chief foremen, chief ship foremen, warrant officers and senior warrant officers.

All these titles are distinguished not only by their names, but also by the presence of shoulder straps. Each title has its own shoulder strap. Soldiers and sailors do not have any distinguishing marks. The sergeant and foreman have the so-called stripes - these are cloth galloons. In the army, they were nicknamed "snot". Ensign and midshipman wear vertical stars with piping, but without gaps, on shoulder straps. Officers differ in the number and size of stars.

In the first officer (junior) there is one strip, the so-called clearance, the stars must be made of metal and have a diameter of 13 mm. Senior officers have two stripes and stars 20 mm wide. The third officers, that is, the highest, have embroidered stars on shoulder straps of a rather large size (22 mm), they do not have stripes. Army generals and fleet admirals have one large embroidered star 40 mm wide on their shoulder straps. The marshal of the Russian Federation has one large embroidered star, like the generals of the army with a diameter of 40 mm, but silver rays diverging in different directions are added to it, which form a kind of pentagon. On the background the coat of arms of the Russian Federation must be present.

Now let's look at the faces of all the titles, that is, the people who lead the Russian army. It is worth noting that the Supreme Commander is current president Russian Federation. It is generally accepted that the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is not a rank, but a position. It is this position that gives the right to be higher than the Marshal of the Russian Federation. The Minister of Defense has the right to be simultaneously commander-in-chief of the land and naval forces.

Interesting facts about the ranks in the army of the Russian Federation

Military ranks, which are assigned to the military personnel of the guards units, have the prefix "guards", that is, "guards lieutenant colonel".

1. Depending on which service the soldier belongs to (it can be a legal or medical service), either the word "justice" or "medical service" in the required case is added to the title.
2. For military personnel who are retired or in reserve composition, the word “reserve” or “retired” is added to the rank, depending on the situation.
3. People who entered military service, and who study at a military school, are divided into two groups: those who do not have a military title - cadets, as well as students.
4. Citizens who did not have a military title before entering a military school, or who had the title of a sailor or soldier when they enter Educational establishment, hold the rank of cadet. In other cases, all assigned titles upon admission are retained.
5. People who do military service receive titles only for good services to the state. Also, based on the statute for serving in military units, a specific period of time is determined, that is, the title can be obtained by:

• sailors, soldiers - six months;
• junior sergeants, foremen of the second article - 365 days;
• sergeants and foremen of the first article, junior lieutenants - 2 years;
• senior sergeants, chief foremen, warrant officers, midshipmen, lieutenants and senior lieutenants - 3 years;
• captains, captain-lieutenants, majors and captains of the third level - 4 years;
• lieutenant colonels, captains of the second level and the remaining military personnel - 5 years.

It is worth remembering a very important detail, a serviceman has the right to receive a title if there is a corresponding position in his unit.

1. Based on the new laws adopted in 2012, the titles of foreman and chief ship foreman are no longer assigned. However, they are still documented.
2. All titles that are assigned to military personnel must be written with a small letter.
3. The title of major is considered higher than the title of lieutenant, but major generals are lower in rank than lieutenant generals.
4. AT this moment in 365 days, a soldier has the right to receive the highest title - sergeant.

Shoulder straps and ranks Russian army created in order to clearly delineate duties between the military. The higher the status, the more responsibility is assigned to the soldier who was awarded the rank. Shoulder straps play an identification role, that is, they create a visual representation of a military man, namely: what position he holds, as well as his military rank.

Shoulder straps and ranks in the army play a very important role, and for different troops they have different external characteristics, as well as names. The reason here is that each type of troops has its own characteristics. For comparison, let's go over the land and sea shoulder straps and ranks of the Russian army.

Shoulder straps and ranks in the ground forces of the Russian army

Observance of subordination and knowledge of one's function in the general formation are the basis of military discipline. This is also said to ordinary soldiers who are just beginning to get acquainted in practice with military service. AT ground forces ah, the military personnel are divided into compositions.

The following military personnel are included in the number of draft and contact staff:

1. Private. Exactly this lowest rank a serviceman from whom all conscripts begin their military journey. This rank can be considered higher, perhaps, than a cadet, since the latter only theoretically studies all the basics of military art, and the private is already being tested in practice. The shoulder straps of an ordinary soldier are clean, that is, they do not have any identification marks (as the conscripts themselves say, “clean shoulder straps - a clear conscience”).
2. Corporal. As a rule, the most distinguished privates can later be promoted to . It is received by the very best or senior privates, that is, obvious leaders in their environment. The epaulettes of the Russian Federation at the corporal are already taking on one thin strip as decal. It is this symbol that gives other military personnel an idea of ​​​​the role of this soldier in the general military structure. If the commander is absent for some reason, then he is replaced by a corporal.

After the fundamental ranks, sergeants and foremen follow. Further, it is they who follow in order of the hierarchy of shoulder straps and military ranks:

1. Lance Sergeant. This rank is an intermediate step between the corporal and the foreman. As a rule, promotion in rank means acceptance new position. upon receiving his new rank, he is appointed as a squad leader, or as a tank or vehicle. Another narrow stripe is added to the shoulder straps of Russia of a junior sergeant. This rank can also be obtained in exceptional cases if the soldier is sent to the reserve and at the time of sending he had the rank of corporal. However, this corporal should distinguish himself by merit and be one of the best.
2. Sergeant. This is the next link, to which the soldier passes after overcoming the rank of junior sergeant. Upon receipt of this title, shoulder straps are supplemented with another narrow strip. By this time, the soldier has three of them. It is referred to differently as "non-commissioned officer", and in many countries, especially in Germany, where the term comes from, it sounds the same.
3. Staff Sergeant. A soldier awarded this title receives one wide instead of three narrow stripes on the shoulder straps of the Russian army. occupies an intermediate step between foreman and sergeant.
4. Sergeant major. If before this rank the defining lines were located across the shoulder strap, then the wide line already goes along the shoulder strap. Among the military personnel of its composition, this rank is the most senior. As a rule, foremen are also official and command an entire company. In relation to sergeants and soldiers who stand at the very first steps of military ranks, he is a commander. In his official duties It includes monitoring the observance of discipline among subordinates, suggesting to juniors what to do in a given situation, making sure that all subordinates fulfill their duties.

After that, the composition of the ranks of the RF Armed Forces goes into the category of ensigns:

1. Ensign. The shoulder straps of the military in this rank somewhat change their appearance, since instead of stripes, starting with the ensign, stars are used. At the ensign they are small and are available in the amount of two pieces. This is already a different level of military service, respectively, the requirements are tougher in relation to the soldier who was awarded this rank.
2. Senior Warrant Officer. It is also an intermediate link between the ensign and officer ranks. Another small star is added to the shoulder straps. Just like on the shoulder straps of an ensign, red lines run along both sides. This rank of military personnel is used not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in many other states.

The officer corps comes immediately after the composition of warrant officers, it includes the following ranks of military personnel:

1. Ensign. The first level of junior officers. Appearance The shoulder strap also changes, as the two longitudinal strips are replaced by one that runs from one edge to the other in the middle of the shoulder strap. When a soldier is promoted to the rank of junior lieutenant, three small stars are replaced by one larger one. The star is clearly on the red line. This title is used in the power structures of our country, as well as in the military hierarchy abroad.
2. Lieutenant. This title is used not only in the army, but also in such structures of our state as, for example, the police. It is the middle link between junior lieutenant and senior. On shoulder straps, instead of one star of medium size, there are two. However, not along the red line, but on its sides.
3. Senior lieutenant. A third star of medium size is added to the shoulder straps, which is located just above the two side ones, on the red center line. This military rank also applies to junior officers, it is used both in law enforcement agencies and the armed forces both in our country and on the territory of foreign states.
4. Captain. On the captain's shoulder straps, one more, fourth star of medium size is added, which is located just above the third and also on the red center line. This rank is available both in the ground forces of our country and in navy. Initially, the chiefs of the military maritime districts were called captains, and later it acquired a modern meaning.

1. Major. The rank has one star, an order of magnitude more than the stars of a captain or lieutenant. Shoulder strap has two longitudinal red stripes. This rank is the first step in the senior officer corps.
2. Lieutenant colonel. Shoulder straps have two stars located on two red lines. It is the middle step between major and colonel. Used in the national army, as well as in law enforcement structures of many European countries, as well as Russia.
3. Colonel. A third star is added to the shoulder straps, located just above the other two. This step is the final one in the senior officer corps. The name comes from the ancient concept of "regiment", that is, the head of this same regiment. The rank is used in the armed forces of our country, as well as in law enforcement agencies. The title exists not only in Russia, but also in other states.

The highest officers of our country are represented by generals, who also have their own internal military gradation:

1. Major General. This title is the first step in the so-called elite of our military hierarchy. Shoulder straps at this stage are crowned with large stars, this title has one such star. The red line now wraps around the entire shoulder strap.
2. Lieutenant general. A soldier of this rank was awarded two large stars on shoulder straps. Despite the fact that a major is higher than a lieutenant, a lieutenant general in the highest system of military service will be higher than a major general.
3. Colonel General. It has three large stars on shoulder straps, arranged in a row. Represents the middle link between a lieutenant general and an army general.
4. Army General. A soldier of this rank has four large stars. In the United States or Ukraine, it is the highest military rank. However, in countries where there are such ranks as field marshal or marshal, it is in second place in terms of seniority.
5. Marshal of the Russian Federation. The highest military rank in our country. On shoulder straps is the coat of arms of the Russian Federation and a star in a range of two colors - gold and silver. This title was established in 1993 by a relevant decree.

Military ranks and epaulettes in the naval forces of Russia

Obligations and status in naval forces similar to those used in the land, but the names of the sailors are different.

junior ranks:

• foreman 2 articles;
• foreman 1 article;
• chief foreman;
• chief ship foreman;
• midshipman;
• senior midshipman.

The gradation of ranks in the naval forces is as follows (starts with junior officer ranks):

1. Junior lieutenant, there is one stripe in the gap.
2. The lieutenant has two stars on the sides of the red line.
3. Senior lieutenant, there are three stars on shoulder straps.
4. Lieutenant-captain, there are four stars in the gaps.

Middle officer naval ranks are subdivided as follows:

1. Captain (rank 3), there are already two gaps on the shoulder straps of the middle link, and the stars are larger in size. At this rank, the star is between the red stripes.
2. Captain (rank 2), two stars located directly on the gaps.
3. Captain (1st rank), three stars, two on the stripes, one between them.

The composition of the highest category is characterized by the following titles:

1. Rear Admiral. Shoulder straps of this rank do not have gaps on them, stars are immediately embroidered on them. The size of the star is increasing again. Members of this rank wear one star.
2. Vice admiral. There are two stars on the shoulder straps.
3. Admiral. Soldiers of this rank wear three stars on shoulder straps.
4. Fleet Admiral. A serviceman awarded this rank, which is the highest in the navy, wears one large star on shoulder straps, which is 4 cm in diameter.

In any case, a soldier must pass the test of time before he can perform the duties of higher ranks.

In order to know exactly how, according to the charter, it is necessary to address a soldier, it is necessary to understand the ranks. Ranks in the Russian army and shoulder straps provide clarity in relationships and allow you to understand the chain of command. The Russian Federation has both a horizontal structure - military and ship ranks, and a vertical hierarchy - from privates to senior officers.

Enlisted personnel

Private- This is the lowest military rank of the Russian army. Moreover, the soldiers received this title in 1946, before that they were treated exclusively as fighters, or as Red Army soldiers.

If the service is carried out in the guards military unit or on the guards ship, then when referring to the private, it is worth adding the same word "guards". If you want to apply to a military man who is in the reserve and has a diploma of higher legal, or medical education then you should contact - "ordinary justice", or "ordinary medical service". Accordingly, to those who are in the reserve or retired, it is worth adding the appropriate words.

In the ship's composition, the rank of private corresponds to sailor.

Only senior soldiers who perform best in military service are promoted to the rank corporal. Such soldiers can act as commanders during their absence.

All additional words that were applicable for the private remain relevant for the corporal. Only in the Navy, this rank corresponds to Senior sailor.

The one who commands a squad, or a combat vehicle, receives the title Lance Sergeant. In some cases, this rank is awarded to the most disciplined corporals upon transfer to the reserve, if such a staff unit was not provided during the service. In the ship's composition is "foreman of the second article"

Since November 1940 in Soviet army a rank for junior command staff appeared - sergeant. It is awarded to cadets who have successfully completed the sergeant training program and graduated with honors.
Also, an ordinary can receive a title - Lance Sergeant, who proved himself worthy of appropriation next rank or upon retirement.

In the Navy, a sergeant of the ground forces corresponds to the rank foreman.

Next goes Senior sergeant, and in the navy - chief foreman.

After this title, there are some crossings of land and naval forces. Because after the senior sergeant, in the ranks of the Russian army appears foreman. This title came into use in 1935. It is deserved only by the best military personnel who served excellently in sergeant positions for six months, or when they are transferred to the reserve, the rank of foreman is awarded to senior sergeants certified with excellent marks. On the ship it is chief ship sergeant major.

Next come ensigns and midshipmen. This is a special category of military personnel, close to junior officers. Complete the ranks senior warrant officer and midshipman.

junior officers

A number of ranks of junior officers of the Russian army begin with the rank Ensign. This title is awarded to students of the last courses and graduates of higher military educational institutions. However, in case of a shortage of officers, the rank of junior lieutenant can also be obtained by a graduate of a civilian university.

lieutenant only a junior lieutenant who has served a certain amount of time and received a positive education document can become. Further - senior lieutenant.

And closes the group of junior officers - Captain. This title sounds the same for both land and naval forces.

Senior officers

Senior officers begin with rank Major. In the Navy, this rank corresponds to Captain 3rd rank. The following ranks of the Navy will only increase the rank of captain, that is, the rank of land lieutenant colonel will match Captain 2nd rank, but the title Colonel – Captain 1st rank.

Senior officer corps

And the highest officer corps completes the hierarchy of military ranks in the Russian army.

Major General or rear admiral(in the navy) - such a proud title is worn by military personnel who command a division - up to 10 thousand people.

Above the Major General is Lieutenant General. (The lieutenant general is higher than the major general because the lieutenant general has two stars on shoulder straps and the major general has one).

Initially, in the Soviet army, it was rather not a rank, but a position, because the Lieutenant General was an assistant to the general and took on part of his functions, unlike Colonel General, who can personally fill senior positions, both in the General Staff and in the Ministry of Defense. In addition, in the armed forces of Russia, a colonel-general may be the deputy commander of a military district.

And, finally, the most important soldier who has the highest military rank in the Russian army is Army General. All previous links are obliged to obey him.

Well, salaga, now you understand?)

In many ways, they retained the system inherited from the armed forces of the USSR. But modern system military ranks acquired its own unique features.

The structure of the ranks of the armed forces and the rank and file

Ranks in the troops of our country can be divided into several categories:

• Ordinary composition.
• junior officers.
• senior officers.
• senior officers.

The lowest rank in the modern troops of our country is private. This title is worn by people serving in the military. Ordinary servicemen of the USSR army began to be called after the war, before the terms “Red Army soldier” and “fighter” were in use.

Reserve soldiers can be called those citizens of the country who have a military registration specialty: a doctor or a lawyer. They are called "Private Medical Service" or, in turn, "Private Justice".

Also called privates are cadets who are trained to achieve officer epaulettes. During their studies, they can receive ranks related to the rank and file, and, after completing their studies, they can receive the first officer rank.

The best and most experienced of the privates receive the rank of corporal. This military rank has the right to replace the junior officer in command of the department. The private receives the rank of corporal for the impeccable performance of his duties and the observance of ideal discipline.

Following the corporal is the rank of junior sergeant. The holder of this rank can command a squad or combat vehicle. In special cases, a private or corporal may, before leaving military service, be awarded the appointment of a reserve junior sergeant.

A sergeant who is higher in the service hierarchy of a junior sergeant also has the right to command a squad or combat vehicle. The title was introduced in the Soviet armed forces before the war, in 1940. Its owners underwent special training in their units or were promoted from the most distinguished junior sergeants. The next in the structure of our armed forces is a senior sergeant.

This is followed by the positions of foremen, which were introduced in the Soviet army a little earlier than sergeants - in 1935. In today's Russian army, the best of the senior sergeants who have served in the previous rank for at least six months and have been promoted to a position involving the rank of foreman become foremen.

Within his company, the foreman serves as the head of the personnel, consisting of sergeants and privates. The foreman is subordinate to the officer in command of the company, and can act as the company commander when he is absent.

Since 1972 Soviet troops replenished with the rank of warrant officer, and since 1981 - senior warrant officer. Its owners, as a rule, graduate from military educational establishments who do not have higher status. Ensigns are assistants to junior officers.

The lowest officer rank in the troops of our country is junior lieutenant. Today it is often possessed by cadets completing their training in the military. educational institutions, as well as graduates of lieutenant schools at military units. Sometimes the rank of junior lieutenant can be obtained by graduates of civilian specialties, as well as ensigns who have shown zeal and ability to serve.

Usually graduates of military universities become lieutenants. After the appropriate period of service and passing certification with a positive result junior lieutenants move to the next level - lieutenant. The next step among the ranks of junior officers is the rank of senior lieutenant and captain. Officer rank engineering troops at this stage it sounds like "engineer captain", and the gunner - battalion commander (battery commander). In infantry units, a military officer with the rank of captain commands a company.

The senior officer ranks are Major, Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel. Major has the right to command training company or be assistant battalion commander. A lieutenant colonel commands a battalion or serves as an assistant regimental commander.

The colonel has the right to command a regiment, brigade and be the deputy commander of a division. This officer rank was introduced to the armed forces of our country along with a number of others in 1935. In the Navy, three senior officer ranks ground forces correspond to their own ranks of captains of the third, second and first ranks.

The first highest officer rank of the Russian troops is Major General. The holder of this rank can command a division (combination of up to 15 thousand personnel), and also be a deputy corps commander.

Next comes the rank of lieutenant general. Historically, it came from the position of a senior officer who was a deputy general. The word "lieutenant" - is translated as "deputy". Such an officer of the highest rank may command a corps or be a deputy commander of an army. Lieutenant generals also serve in military headquarters.

A colonel-general may be the deputy commander of a military district or command an army. The holders of this military rank hold the positions of the General Staff or the Ministry of Defense. Finally, the highest military rank of the troops of our country, the general of the army, is higher. Today, the highest officers of individual branches of the military - artillery, communications, etc. - can become generals of the army.

AT naval forces our country, the highest officer positions correspond to rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral and admiral of the fleet.

When we remember the military leaders of the USSR during the Great Patriotic War, holders of the title of "Marshal" traditionally come to mind - G.K. Zhukov, I.S. Konev, K.K. Rokossovsky. However, in the post-Soviet period, this rank practically disappeared, and the functions of marshals were transferred to army generals.

In 1935, Marshal was introduced as the highest personal military rank. Soviet Union. It was assigned to the most worthy of the representatives of the highest military leadership and could serve as a distinction. In 1935, a number of top military leaders of the country of the Soviets became marshals, holding responsible positions in the army.

Three of the first five marshals of the USSR in the years following their appointment fell under the blow of repression. Therefore, before the start of the war, Semyon Timoshenko, Grigory Kulik and Boris Shaposhnikov, who replaced them in responsible posts, became the new marshals of the Soviet Union.

During the war years, the highest rank of marshal was awarded to the most distinguished commanders. The first of the marshals of the "war period" was Georgy Zhukov. Nearly all the top military men who led the fronts became marshals. Joseph Stalin received the rank of marshal in 1943. The basis was the “positions he occupied” of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and People's Commissar of Defense.

AT post-war period a rare military rank for the country was received by General Secretary L.I. Brezhnev. The marshals were the persons who held the post of Minister of Defense - Nikolai Bulgarin, Dmitry Ustinov and Sergei Sokolov. In 1987, Dmitry Yazov became Minister of Defense, and three years later he received a personal highest officer rank. Today, he is the only retired marshal surviving.

In 1943, while the war was going on, the rank of marshal of the armed forces began to be used in the USSR. A little later, the ranks of marshals were added to them. special troops. In the same year, a number of the highest military councils of the country became such marshals. In particular, the famous military leader Pavel Rotmistrov became a marshal tank troops. In 1943, the rank of chief marshal of the armed forces was also introduced.

Most of the ranks of chief marshals were abolished in 1984 - they were retained exclusively for aviation and artillery. But after 1984, none of the representatives of the country's top military leadership received them either. The ranks of marshals and chief marshals of the armed forces were finally abolished in 1993. In 1991, the last recent history Evgeny Shaposhnikov became Air Marshal of the country.

AT modern army our country has a title - "Marshal of the Russian Federation". As in the pre-war period, this is a personal highest military rank. The reason for receiving the rank of marshal may be the special merits of the officer to the country, recognized by the President.

In 1997, the title was awarded to Igor Sergeev. The awarding of this rank followed the appointment of Igor Dmitrievich as the Minister of Defense of our country. In 2001, the military retired from active service and until the end of his life he held the rank of retired marshal.

Modern ranks in the Russian army are inherited from Soviet period. The army of the Russian Federation partially retained its former structure and military formations. Therefore, the system of military ranks and positions has not undergone major changes.

Both on land and on water there are military ranks, some of them are similar, but still there is a difference.

So, on land, military ranks go in the following order:

On the water, that is, the fleet, the ranks are built like this:

Sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second article, foreman of the first article, chief ship officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain lieutenant, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral , admiral.

Private, in the Navy this rank corresponds to a sailor, then a corporal, in the fleet - senior sailor; junior sergeant, in the fleet foreman of the second article; sergeant-foreman of the first article, senior sergeant-foreman; foreman - chief ship foreman; next come ensign, in the fleet warrant officer, senior warrant officer, senior warrant officer. Officers: junior lieutenant - the same in the navy; lieutenant - the same in the navy; senior lieutenant - the same in the navy; captain, in the navy - captain lieutenant; then follows the senior officers: major - in the fleet, captain of the third rank; lieutenant colonel - in the fleet, captain of the second rank; colonel - in the fleet, captain of the first rank. Next comes the senior officers: major general - in the fleet, rear admiral; lieutenant general in the fleet, vice -admiral; general-colonel-admiral, and the final rank of general of the army. There were marshals in the USSR, but now, in my opinion, they have been abolished. Highest rank only two people, Suvorov and Stalin, had a generallisimus.

To begin with, I will say that different countries very different ranks, it is also worth noting that the Military navy and conventional ground forces also have different ranks, for example, the Fleet:

And now a few countries to compare the rank. The first will be Russian military ranks



Military ranks of France



Military ranks of China



Military ranks of Germany



Turkish military ranks



The Army and Navy each have their own military ranks. Of course, they have a number of similarities, but differ both in name and in the number of stars and stripes. One more difference should be added - this is the guards regiments.





Private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, foreman, warrant officer, senior warrant officer, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.

Military ranks must be separated for the fleet and land.

So, as far as the ground forces are concerned, the military ranks are arranged in this order:

As for the distribution in order of ranks in the fleet, it looks like this from the smallest:

As for the RF. Ranks are military and ship.

Ensigns and midshipmen:

junior officers:

senior officers;

Marshal of the Russian Federation - the highest military rank.

A specialty is added to military ranks, if any;

Who is studying in a military institution:

In the armed forces of Russia, military ranks are divided into military and naval. To the military personnel of the guards units, a prefix is ​​added to the military rank - guards ...

In the Navy, in addition to naval military ranks, there may also be military military ranks, for example, in the marines, naval aviation, and coastal troops of the fleet. Ship military ranks are expressed by a white or yellow stripe on a black shoulder strap (clearance) or black gaps on a white shoulder strap, on shoulder straps with military military ranks - the gaps will be red, blue. By the way, in the Marine Corps, ship ranks are a sailor and a senior sailor, then - military ...

There are military ranks and the ranks of those who serve in the navy, the ranks in order in the Russian army are as follows:

Ordinary composition:

Military ranks: private, corporal, junior sergeant, sergeant, senior sergeant, foreman.

Ship ranks: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the 2nd article, foreman of the 1st article, chief foreman, chief ship foreman.

Ensigns and midshipmen:

Military ranks: warrant officer, senior warrant officer

Ship ranks: midshipman, senior midshipman

Officers:

Junior officers:

Military ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain;

Ship ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain-lieutenant.

Senior officers:

Military ranks: major, lieutenant colonel, colonel;

Ship ranks: captain 3rd rank, captain 2nd rank, captain 1st rank.

Senior officers:

Military ranks: major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general; Ship ranks: rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, admiral of the fleet.

And of course, Marshal of the Russian Federation.

In the Army and the Navy there are military ranks that are similar, but it seems to me that the ranks in the Navy are still more difficult to remember and pronounce. Military ranks on land.



Military ranks in the Navy.



It should be noted that in addition to the rank in the Army and Navy, big role plays the position. It happens that an officer with a higher rank reports to an officer with a lower rank.

Military ranks go as follows, starting with the smallest:

On land: private, corporal, junior sergeant, senior sergeant, warrant officer, senior warrant officers, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general.

In the Navy: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second class, foreman of the first class, chief ship officer, midshipman, senior midshipman, junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain lieutenant, captain of the third rank, captain of the second rank, captain of the first rank, rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral

In the old days, there was also the title of Marshalquot ;, but it was canceled.
