What comes after Lieutenant. Assignment of regular military ranks to military personnel

Ranks in the Russian army is a topic that I was able to understand only thanks to my service in the army. I remember how in life safety lessons the teacher forced all the guys to learn them by heart, but even after long cramming, only empty sounds were stored in my head.

Now I have the opportunity to compare these words with real people I meet around. Thanks to this, I was able to structure this knowledge very simply and clearly so that each of you, dear readers, could easily and for a long time remember what soldiers sometimes take a whole week to remember...

What are the ranks in the Russian army?

As you already understood, before joining the army I had almost no understanding of military ranks. I only knew the basics. The service forced me to memorize them so that I could easily determine who I was addressing or, conversely, who was addressing me.

As always in such articles, I want to start by defining the basic concept. Let's figure out what ranks there are in the Russian army.

In our country there are two types military ranks military personnel - military And ship.

Ship military ranks are assigned to sailors:

• surface and submarine forces of the Navy;
• naval military units of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia;
• Coast Guard Border Service of the FSB of Russia.

Military ranks are assigned to other military personnel performing military service in:

• Russian Emergency Situations Ministry;
• Federal Security Service;
• Foreign Intelligence Service;
• Federal Security Service;
• Internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;
• other troops, military formations and bodies.

Great. We understand the concepts. Now let's go upward. From lower rank to higher. What is their hierarchy?

Non-officer ranks in the army

1. Private ~ Sailor.
2. Corporal ~ Senior sailor.
3. Junior sergeant ~ Sergeant major of the second class.
4. Sergeant ~ Foreman of the first article.
5. Senior Sergeant ~ Chief Petty Officer.
6. Petty Officer ~ Chief petty officer.
7. Ensign ~ Midshipman.
8. Senior Warrant Officer ~ Senior Midshipman.

What did everyone think? What are all these ranks in our army? No, my friends. The most interesting thing is ahead - the officer corps. It is divided into several parts:

• Junior officers.
• Senior officers.
• Senior officers.

Officer ranks in the army

Military rank ~ Ship rank.

1. Junior Lieutenant ~ Junior Lieutenant.
2. Lieutenant ~ Lieutenant.
3. Senior Lieutenant ~ Senior Lieutenant.
4. Captain ~ Lieutenant Captain.

These were junior officers. Now let's move on to the older one.

1. Major ~ Captain 3rd rank.
2. Lieutenant Colonel ~ Captain 2nd rank.
3. Colonel ~ Captain 1st rank.

And finally, the senior officers.

1. Major General ~ Rear Admiral.
2. Lieutenant General ~ Vice Admiral.
3. Colonel General ~ Admiral.
4. General of the Army ~ Admiral of the Fleet.
5. Marshal of the Russian Federation ~ There are no analogues.

As you can see, the number of ship ranks is exactly one less than the number of military ranks. But what kind!

OK then. We figured out the ranks and their order. How can we differentiate them now? And for this, dear readers, people came up with shoulder straps and sleeve insignia (the latter only for ship ranks).

It is them that we will now analyze. First - in words, then - graphically.

Shoulder straps

• Soldiers and sailors

They do not have any insignia on their shoulder straps.

• Sergeants and petty officers

They have insignia in the form of fabric braids - stripes. In the army these stripes are called “snot”.

• Ensigns and midshipmen

They have insignia in the form of small stars located vertically. The shoulder straps are similar to the officer's, but without gaps and may have edgings (for more details, see the pictures below).

• Junior officers

One vertical stripe is a gap. The sprockets are metal, small (13 mm).

• Senior officers

Two clearances and large metal sprockets (20 mm).

• Senior officers

Vertically located embroidered stars of large size (22 mm), no gaps.

• General of the Army, Admiral of the Fleet

One large embroidered star with a diameter of 40 mm.

• Marshal of the Russian Federation

It has one very large embroidered star (40 mm) against a background of radiating silver rays forming a pentagon, and the coat of arms of Russia (without the heraldic shield).

For those who find it difficult to perceive the text and just to consolidate the information received, I suggest you look at the pictures corresponding to the above.

Shoulder straps of non-officers

Officer's shoulder straps

Russian Army Command

The next point of our analysis is faces. Those people who lead our army.

First of all, of course, I want to name the Supreme Commander-in-Chief - the President of the Russian Federation.

Supreme Commander-in-Chief - President of the Russian Federation

Supreme Commander-in-Chief is not a rank, but a position. The only position that allows you to lead the Marshal of the Russian Federation.
An interesting fact is that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin finished his service in the FSB with the rank of colonel, and his current position allows him to lead representatives of the highest officer ranks.

Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation

Please note that Sergei Kuzhugetovich bears the rank and shoulder straps of an army general.

The Minister of Defense is the commander of both the ground forces and the navy. This is why there is no rank higher than fleet admiral in the navy.

By the way. Which of you, friends, noticed that I began to write such high ranks as admiral and marshal in small letters? Do you think this is a mistake? I have to disappoint you. No! Why? Read the next part of the article.

Interesting facts about ranks in the army

• The prefix “guard” (for example, “guard major”) is applied to the military ranks of military personnel of guards units.
• In relation to military personnel of the legal and medical services, the words “justice” and “medical service” are added, respectively.
• For military personnel who are in reserve or retired, the words “reserve” and “retired” are added, respectively.
• Military personnel studying at a military educational institution vocational education, are called: those who do not have a military rank of officers are called cadets, and those who have a military rank are called students.
• Citizens who did not have a military rank before entering a military educational institution or who had the military rank of sailor or soldier are assigned the military rank of cadet upon admission to study. Other military ranks awarded before entering a military educational institution of vocational education are retained.
• Military ranks are given after the required length of service and for personal merit. If everything is clear with merits, then let’s figure out how long it is necessary to serve in order to reach the desired rank. In accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 22 “Regulations on the procedure for passing military service» the following deadlines are established for military service in military ranks:
  - private, sailor - five months;
  - junior sergeant, sergeant major 2 articles - one year;
  - sergeant, foreman 1st article - two years;
  - senior sergeant, chief petty officer - three years;
  - ensign, midshipman - three years;
  - junior lieutenant - two years;
  - lieutenant - three years;
  - senior lieutenant - three years;
  - captain, captain-lieutenant - four years;
  - major, captain 3rd rank - four years;
  - lieutenant colonel, captain 2nd rank - five years.
  Next - 5 years.

Important point. The title can only be obtained if there is a suitable position in the unit. About positions and what ranks you can reach in a particular position in the next article.

• The ranks of petty officer and chief petty officer have not been awarded since 2012. They still exist in documents.
• All military ranks - from private to marshal of the Russian Federation - are written with a small letter.
• The rank of major is higher than the rank of lieutenant, but major general< генерал-лейтенант.
• The highest rank that can be achieved in a year of military service is now sergeant.

Dear readers. I hope that while reading this small but very important article, you have formed an understanding of what ranks there are in our army, and in what order they are located.

Senior officers our country is represented by generals who also have their own internal military gradation:

Military ranks and shoulder straps in the Russian naval forces

The obligations and status in the naval forces are similar to those used in the land forces, but the designations for sailors are different.

Junior ranks:

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

Average officer naval ranks are divided as follows:

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

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

Shoulder straps, and one appeared on Russian military clothing only with the creation of a regular army by Tsar Peter I between 1683 and 1699 as a purely practical element of clothing.

Considering all the stages of the creation of the Russian armed forces, it is necessary to dive deeply into history, and although during the time of the principalities there is no talk of the Russian empire, and even less of a regular army, the emergence of such a concept as defense capability begins precisely from this era. In the 13th century, Rus' was represented by separate principalities. Although their military squads were armed with swords, axes, spears, sabers and bows, they could not serve as reliable protection against outside attacks. United Army

The military uniform of the armed forces of the Russian Federation has always been distinguished by certain features. They are divided by color and purpose. Military uniforms can be intended for daily use, for field activities and for festive occasions. All these types of clothing are also divided into summer and winter options.

In the course of their activities, military personnel have the opportunity to demonstrate heroism, professional knowledge, valor, and courage. The experience and skills of those who have given a huge part of their lives to military service are especially valued.

In 2002, the Union of Paratroopers association was born in Russia.

Each element of a military uniform has a specific purpose and does not appear on it by chance, but under the influence of certain conditions, including historical ones. We can say that each element of the form carries both a historical load and a utilitarian purpose. There is a widespread misconception that shoulder straps as an element of a military uniform come from knightly armor, or rather metal shoulder plates that protected a warrior’s shoulders from saber strikes. This is a misconception from year to year,

The time of multimillion-strong mass armies is coming to an end. Nowadays, the outcome of the battle is decided by relatively few professionals, and the level of training of the fighter and his equipment comes first. Despite the widespread use of electronics on the battlefield, its outcome, as before, is decided by people. The time when a fighter had an AK-47 at his disposal and was protected only by body armor of not the best quality and is not always gradually becoming history. Almost all advanced armies

The unloading vest, of course, is far from the only type of combat equipment, but today the situation has developed that a fighter, when purchasing equipment, chooses either a combat breastplate or a unloading vest.

Almost all modern armies are supplied with uniforms intended for use directly on the battlefield, field uniforms. Most armies in the world have this uniform in camouflage coloring. This material provides an overview of the main camouflage colors currently used in various armies of the world. It should also be noted that this material does not cover the topics of uniform cut, quality characteristics of fabric, and the like.

In questions state security there can be no modes. Sovereignty and integrity must remain at the highest level every minute of the year. To ensure reliable protection, the state is obliged to maintain a powerful army, ready at any moment to repel an attack from an external enemy. Military activities are difficult process, which does not stop either day or night. Even when the personnel seem to be resting, there are duty officers, guards, patrol officers,

Relationships in the army must be strictly regulated. This requirement arises from at least two considerations. The first is that the personnel is a quasi-group, organized according to some common characteristics. Psychologists say that if such a group is left to its own devices, conflicts in relationships will soon arise. The second statement is more significant. The army must not only be numerous, but also functional and controllable.

As long as the soldier has not retired to the reserve and remains on the list of unit personnel, he is guided by the general military regulations. Certain standards have also been developed for a serviceman in the event of his temporary stay outside the unit. But, as we know, the lack of control necessarily leads to violation of all rules, and the volume of these violations grows like an avalanche. Therefore, in any garrison, as a mandatory event, the organization of patrols is provided, which is carried out in places

They do not emit a warlike roar, they do not sparkle with a polished surface, they are not decorated with embossed coats of arms and plumes, and quite often they are generally hidden under jackets.

As you know, every element of the uniform of the military and security forces either has a practical purpose or exists as a kind of symbol, and shoulder straps are no exception. Shoulder straps, like all other elements of a military uniform, contain a rich history. However, there is a very popular misconception that shoulder straps as an element of a military uniform are descendants of knightly armor, namely special shoulder plates made of metal that protect the shoulders

Shoulder straps are insignia of one or another professional and similar corporation on uniform corporate clothing to designate a wide variety of corporate characteristics and differences in ranks of personal military ranks and special class ranks, positions of belonging to a specific ministry, department, organization or service, including clan troops, branches of the armed forces, special forces, and the like.

We will have to start the story about the introduction of insignia in the Soviet army with some general issues. In addition, a short excursion into the history of the Russian state will be useful so as not to formulate empty references to the past. The shoulder straps themselves represent a kind of product that is worn on the shoulders to indicate a position or rank, as well as the type of military service and service affiliation. This is done in several ways: attaching strips, sprockets, making gaps, chevrons.

The shoulder straps of the Tsarist army of 1914 are rarely mentioned in feature films and historical books. Meanwhile, this is an interesting object of study in the imperial age, during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II, uniforms were an object of art. Before the outbreak of the First World War, the distinctive insignia of the Russian Army was significantly different from those used now. They were brighter and contained more information, but at the same time they did not have the functionality and were easily noticeable as in the field

Shoulder straps are part of a serviceman's clothing, and the arrangement of stars on the shoulder straps is considered to be a sign of rank distinction between colleagues. However, it is very important to know at what distance the stars should be on this part of the uniform, since punctuality, discipline and strict adherence to instructions play a huge role in the army. A soldier's appearance must always be impeccable. The placement of stars on shoulder straps according to certain regulations also contributes to

Ratnik is Russian military equipment for a soldier, also called the kit of the soldier of the future. Warrior is part common project improving the quality of an individual soldier on the battlefield through the use of the latest scientific achievements in the field of navigation, night vision systems, tracking the psychophysiological state of a soldier, and the use of advanced materials in the manufacture of armor and clothing fabrics. The system is a complex of modern means of protection,

Russian military equipment Ratnik was developed by FSUE TsNIITOCHMASH.

The versatility of the complex. Camouflage properties developed the most universal color and

Russia has completed the development of the new Ratnik combat equipment, which is a complex of weapons, personal protective equipment, reconnaissance and communications. The first serial sets of equipment have already been delivered to the troops. Several units of the Russian Ground Forces marched in them across Red Square on May 9, 2015. According to the Ministry of Defense, the purchase of Ratnik is already included in the state defense order for the current year, however, exactly how many sets of equipment will be supplied to the troops is still unknown.

On June 1, 1998, by order of the Commander of the Railway Troops of the Russian Federation 171, the Veteran of the Railway Troops badge was established. This sign became the first official symbol, marking the beginning of the development of a strict departmental heraldic system in the Federal Service of the Railway Troops of the Russian Federation. A year earlier, in preparation for the 150th anniversary of military railway workers coming in 2001, the FSGV command decided to begin a comprehensive

Military clothing is the key to the high combat effectiveness of military forces. In Russia, the military uniform suits everyone necessary requirements it is convenient, reliable and performs its basic functions. A new military uniform in our country was released in 2015. Now every soldier of the military forces is equipped with it. Along with the new clothes, new rules for wearing them were issued, which must be followed by a soldier of any rank. Military uniforms are divided into three main types. Dress uniforms are used.

The modern Russian army has a complex hierarchical structure based on the subordination of lower levels to higher ones. Unconditional submission within the limits of the military regulations is defined by law, and violation of the order is punishable by a military court. In order to effectively carry out management activities, the hierarchical system is implemented by assigning each military personnel a certain military rank. Already at the very beginning of his conscription service, the young man receives the rank of private. Highest rank other than Supreme

Many articles, even from legally savvy specialists, are devoted to various ways to avoid military service. It is gratifying that the proportion of conscripts who are ready to cross the line of the law is quite small. Most guys not only realize the need to fulfill their civic duty, but also consider it their duty to spend a year in the army as a real soldier, who would be an excellent student in combat training, selflessly serve the Motherland, be in good standing with the officers and become the pride of his

Many people ignorant of military affairs may wonder what kind of troops the Russian army has. The answer here is very simple: Russian units include elite troops, ground units, navy, and aviation. Each part performs its own function. For large units, navy, air force, ground forces, there are support departments such as air defense, artillery. Many parts are intertwined. The regiments began to develop into their modern form after the collapse of the Russian Empire.

The army, to one degree or another, affects every citizen, so, willy-nilly, people are aware of it. But the army is too general and abstract a concept, including tanks and foot wraps, nuclear weapons and stars on shoulder straps, and much more. In order to organize troops by type, establish a certain hierarchy and divide the territory of the state into controlled areas, there is a special term - the organizational structure of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. With his help we are today

For any state, the armed forces are the guarantor of its security and inviolability of territorial borders. In Russia, the army organizes its activities on the basis of certain regulatory documents, these are Federal laws, Government Decrees, Presidential Decrees, as well as local resolutions of executive authorities in the regions. Thanks to a unified legal system, it is possible to effectively manage a contingent of thousands, distributing common tasks and quickly resolving security issues.

The army is perhaps the largest institution that is considered to be regularly functioning. If we add to the contingent currently in service all those liable for military service, including those in the reserves, then more than half of all Russian citizens will be covered. Naturally, the armed forces will reach such a size only as a last resort, when military aggression from another state is inevitable, but even the existing military personnel, of whom there are hundreds of thousands, must be centralized

False shoulder straps, a derivative of false shoulder straps, are analogous to the shoulder straps on which stars are sewn. They differ from standard ones in that they are used in the field, since during military exercises or in a real combat situation it is necessary to act quickly and swiftly, and during such actions the stars may simply fall off the shoulder straps. Despite the fact that every military man has spare stars, no one needs extra losses. Besides

Since the founding of this type of troops, the uniform of the Airborne Forces has been no different from the clothing of the Red Army Air Force or special purpose air battalions. The set of clothing of a USSR intelligence soldier included a leather or blue-gray canvas helmet. Moleskin overalls could be either leather or blue-gray canvas. The collar of the overalls was equipped with blue buttonholes, where insignia were sewn. Already in the forties, military uniforms

The uniform of the Russian Navy has a rather long history. Over the decades, it has undergone and is undergoing many changes and the emergence of new and different versions of it. In this article we will look at a brief history of the form, its various variations and principles of wearing. History of naval dress The history of the Navy uniform dates back to the time of Peter the Great. By order of the powerful manager-emperor in 1696, the Boyar Duma adopted

In 2015, the Russian army will change its clothes. Some military personnel already have a new military uniform. According to the plan of the Russian Ministry of Defense, new uniforms were required to be provided to all military personnel by the end of 2014. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Dmitry Bulgakov. The need to redress the ranks of the Russian army has existed for a long time. Along with the new set of clothes, new rules for wearing military uniforms will be introduced. In 2014, new clothing was received

New clothes for the Russian army should have been developed back in 2009 under the leadership of the country's chief couturier Valenitin Yudashkin. However, the disagreement of the officers pushed back the deadline for its production. The new model military uniform was presented only in 2012, by the BTK Group company from St. Petersburg. The new military clothing is made of 8 layers. When performing various combat missions, a fighter can use the layer necessary for him, depending on

The Electrically Heated Ratnik-Arctic uniform, commissioned by the FSB Border Research Center, has been adopted by the FSB Border Service, which guards borders in the Arctic. The development of the form was carried out by NPC Voenform-design LLC. The technical conditions for the production of the uniform were prepared by June 2013, and in 2015, the Warrior-Arctic was first received by military personnel of the northernmost Russian border post Nagurskoye, located on Earth

Military uniforms - field, everyday and ceremonial uniforms - are always regulated by the relevant decrees of the Ministry of Defense. However, there are special forces formations in the law enforcement agencies of ministries and departments not related to the Russian Armed Forces, which perform specific tasks, for which they use a very wide range of military and universal uniforms.

Traditional disclaimer. This article in no way claims to be complete or the ultimate truth. The topic of Russian equipment in the nineties is huge and complex, and my modest work is just a superficial educational program, an introduction to the topic. The USSR approached its collapse with very primitive equipment, which looked poor even against the backdrop of the then simple equipment of the NATO armies. However, in the nineties, despite the severe economic crisis and lack of money, progress in the field of military equipment,

Each branch and type of troops has its own attributes. In addition to the battle flag and chevrons, the concept of distinctive signs includes shoulder straps. It is by this accessory that one can determine not only the rank of a serviceman, but also his affiliation with one or another army. However, it is very difficult for an unprepared person to do this. Today we will try to understand the colors and letter designations on the shoulder straps of military personnel and cadets of the Russian army, as well as law enforcement agencies. Shoulder straps

Perhaps during your student years, a military training teacher told you about the various ranks that are used in our army, but it is unlikely that you absorbed this information with the same eagerness with which you laughed furiously in class, smoked in the school yard, or pulled your wrists. braids of girls from their class.

However, knowledge about this subject should be in every man’s head, so that he, without hesitation, understands who is a “real major” and who is “Warrant Officer Shmatko.”, military ranks in the Russian army.

Rank categories in the Russian Army

There are two main groups of ranks in the Russian troops:

• shipborne (refers to those who serve at sea);
• military (go to representatives of ground troops).

Ship ranks

1. Navy (both under water and above water). The naval uniform has always suited men. No wonder girls like sailors so much!
2. military naval units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It sounds unusual, but there are also police officers at sea.
3. protection of the coastal (Border) service of the Russian FSB.

They do not chase unscrupulous fishermen who caught a couple of buckets of crucian carp without permission. Their direct responsibility is the capture of illegal immigrants and other criminals on the country’s waterways.

Military ranks

It is not so easy to see sea captains in snow-white uniforms on the streets of cities, especially if there is no sea nearby. But this is no reason to be upset!

Titles are also given in:

1. Armed forces.
2. Ministry of Internal Affairs (servicemen from the category of “policemen” or district police officers).
3. Ministry of Emergency Situations (dared souls saving people in trouble).

Vadim, an Emergency Situations Ministry worker from Khmelnitsky, says that many people imagine the Ministry of Emergency Situations workers as real rescue heroes who live all day long as if in a thriller. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. The life of an EMERCOM nickname consists of daily visits to some priests in order to carry out explanatory work, otherwise they will inadvertently burn down the church and everyone who came there. Rescuers also remove cats from trees and teach old women how to light the stove so as not to die from carbon monoxide. But the Ministry of Emergency Situations employees still evaluate their work positively. This is facilitated by titles, uniforms and social benefits.

• foreign intelligence service (Yes, yes! Imagine - new Stirlitz!);
• and other military units of our country.

Ranks table

In order to make the description of ranks less boring, we decided to present information about them as a cheat sheet (military and ship ranks, located on the same line, are analogous):

Type	Military	Korabelnoye
Non-officer	private, corporal, Lance Sergeant, sergeant, staff Sergeant, foreman, ensign, Senior Warrant Officer	sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second article, foreman of the first article, chief petty officer, chief ship's foreman, midshipman, senior midshipman
Junior officers	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain-lieutenant
Senior officers	major, lieutenant colonel, Colonel	captain 1st rank, captain 2nd rank, captain 3rd rank
Senior officers	major general Lieutenant General, Colonel General, army General, Marshal of the Russian Federation	rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, fleet admiral

Shoulder straps

1. Soldiers and sailors. There are no insignia on the shoulder straps.
2. Sergeants and petty officers. Badges are used as insignia. Warriors have long called them “snot.”
3. Ensigns and midshipmen. Cross-stitched stars are used as insignia. The shoulder straps resemble those of an officer, but without stripes. Also, there may be edgings.
4. Junior officers. There is a vertical clearance and metal sprockets (13 mm).
5. Senior officers. Two stripes and large metal stars (20 mm).
6. Senior officers. Large embroidered stars (22 mm), located vertically; no stripes.
7. General of the Army, Admiral of the Fleet. A large star with a diameter of 40 mm, not metal, but embroidered.
8. Marshal of the Russian Federation. One very large star (40 mm) is embroidered on the shoulder strap. Silver rays diverge in a circle - the shape of a pentagon is obtained. The pattern of the Russian coat of arms is also noticeable.

Of course, when reading the text, many have a hard time trying to imagine the appearance of the shoulder straps. Therefore, especially for them, there is a picture in which all of the above is clearly depicted.

Shoulder straps of non-officers

Officer's shoulder straps

1. Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest rank in the ground forces, but above him there is also a person who can give him orders (even command him to take a prone position). This person is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, who is also the President of the Russian Federation. What is noteworthy is that the title of Supreme Commander-in-Chief is classified as a position, not a military rank.
2. Vladimir Putin, who currently works in this position, left Federal service security, being a colonel. Now, in his position, he issues commands to military personnel with ranks that he has never achieved in his entire career.
3. Both naval and ground forces are subordinate to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Therefore, admiral is the highest rank in the Navy hierarchy.
4. Writing the names of ranks of the RF Armed Forces with a capital letter in order to show respect to experienced servants is a completely unnecessary matter. All ranks from private to admiral are written with a lowercase letter.
5. The prefix “guard” adds special prestige to the way this or that title sounds. Not everyone is destined to receive it, but only those. who serves in the guards regiments.
6. Servants who have retired from military affairs and calmly dig potatoes in their dachas do not lose their rank, but continue to wear it with the prefix “reserved” or “retired.”

Without holding back his laughter, a military pensioner from Kharkov, Alexander, says that the colonel, whether he is retired or in reserve, will instill fear in any traffic cop who stops him on the road for violating traffic rules. The guy will get off a hundred sweats while he pretends to reprimand the offender, and then he will completely let the colonel go without a fine. So, a title always helps in life.

1. Army doctors are also given special ranks. For example, “major of medical service.” The situation is similar for lawyers - “captain of justice”.

Of course, it’s a long way from George Clooney from ER, but it still sounds decent!

1. Having just taken this path and entered a university, young guys become cadets. For now, they can only dream of how they will receive their first title, and then one of the highest ones. There is another group of students. They are called listeners. These are those who have already received military rank.
2. While the one-year military service is underway, you can at most become a sergeant. Not higher.
3. Since 2012, the ranks of chief petty officer and chief sergeant have been abolished. Formally, they exist, but in reality, service members receive the following ranks, bypassing these ranks.
4. We all know that a major is higher than a lieutenant, but for some reason this logic was not taken into account when ranking general ranks. A lieutenant general is higher in rank than a major general. This is the system in the Russian Armed Forces.
5. To receive a new rank in the Russian troops, you need to have a certain length of service and personal achievements. Before assigning the next rank to a candidate, commanders judge the soldier’s moral character and combat and political training skills. The table below describes the length of service requirements required to move from one rank to another:

Rank	Job title
Private	All those newly called up for service, all lower positions (gunner, driver, gun crew number, driver, sapper, reconnaissance officer, radio operator, etc.)
Corporal	There are no full-time corporal positions. The rank is given to soldiers in the lowest positions, with a high level of training.
Junior Sergeant, Sergeant	Squad, tank, gun commander
Staff Sergeant	Deputy Platoon Leader
Sergeant Major	Company Sergeant Major
Ensign, Art. ensign	Material support platoon commander, company sergeant major, warehouse chief, radio station chief and other non-commissioned positions that require a high level of training. Sometimes they work in lower officer positions when there is a shortage of officers
Ensign	Platoon commander. This rank is usually awarded when there is an acute shortage of officers after completing accelerated officer training courses.
Lieutenant, Art. lieutenant	Platoon commander, deputy company commander.
Captain	Company commander, training platoon commander
Major	Deputy battalion commander. Training company commander
Lieutenant colonel	Battalion commander, deputy regiment commander
Colonel	Regiment commander, deputy brigade commander, brigade commander, deputy division commander

Colonel General	Army Commander, Deputy District (Front) Commander
Army General	District (front) commander, Deputy Minister of Defense, Minister of Defense, Chief of the General Staff, other senior positions
Marshal of the Russian Federation	Honorary title given for special merits

Today I will tell you how to get a military rank in the army.

Initially, you will be a private, then comes a corporal, and after the corporal comes a junior sergeant, a sergeant and a senior sergeant. You may not hope for more, but this is not certain, since it is already very difficult to get a sergeant and senior sergeant in the army. Let's take it in order and start, of course, with the military rank of private.

• Service life in 2019 (applies to everyone)
• How to correctly (whoever is in the subject will understand what we are talking about)

What military ranks can a conscript soldier achieve?

I would also like to remind you that in addition to the army, we also have the Navy, where military ranks differ from land ones, namely:

Assignment of the military rank of private

The initial military rank in the army is private. A private is an ordinary soldier who serves in the army and does not stand out in any way. This rank is stamped on your military ID at the assembly point where you are from, and the date of assignment to the rank of private is the date of your dismissal from military service. Ordinary soldiers have clean shoulder straps, and, as they say, “clean shoulder straps mean a clear conscience.” There is nothing more to say about the military rank of private.

Assignment of the military rank of corporal

Let's talk about the next military rank - corporal, the so-called most trained soldier. As they say, “it is better to have the daughter of a prostitute than the son of a corporal,” I don’t know why this title is so disliked, but according to one of the many versions, this is connected with Tsarist Russia, where corporals at the front were placed in the first rank, and, accordingly, they died first.

How to get the rank of corporal? There is a so-called ShDS (staff list) - “shtatka”. This is in every company. In order to receive this rank, you need to hold the appropriate military position. That is, your position in this “staff” must correspond to your rank.

A corporal can be assigned to any soldier, for example, by title you will be , and the senior driver should have the rank of corporal.

Assignment of the military rank junior sergeant, sergeant

Military ranks of sergeants and senior officers

Next comes the rank of junior sergeant. Let's think about it, do you need it? A junior sergeant is usually a soldier who knows the regulations, who is able and willing to lead personnel, who is respected in the military team, not only by the soldiers, but also by the command. He may already be a squad leader. The squad commander is the soldier who will have him under his command. The squad leader must know everything about each soldier from his squad. And also skillfully manage them.

The direct superior of the squad commander will be the deputy platoon commander (zamkom platoon) - this is the same junior sergeant or sergeant who will lead the entire platoon.

That is, there is a chain of military personnel, namely: private, corporal, junior sergeant and sergeant. Usually the platoon commander is a junior sergeant or sergeant, the squad commander is a corporal, and ordinary soldiers are simply in different platoons.

There is another method for obtaining a military rank. Let's say you approach your company commander and say that after the army you want to serve in the police or another law enforcement agency and the rank of junior sergeant will be useful to you to make it easier for you to move forward. Perhaps this will be enough to award you the military rank of junior sergeant (provided that you are really worthy of it).

The third option for assigning a military rank

Let's say - February 23 or May 9, usually regular and extraordinary military ranks are awarded on these holidays, and accordingly you can fall under this topic.

How else can you get a rank in the army?

This is when the old conscription retired and vacancies became available for military positions, for which the state provides for the military ranks of corporal or junior sergeant. And, since there will be no platoon commanders and squad commanders, any worthy soldier can be appointed to this position with the assignment of the next military rank.

Also, the rank of junior sergeant can be given for some merit, but this is very rare. So let's look at it: a private is a soldier who simply serves in the army. A corporal is the same soldier, but no longer a soldier and not yet a junior sergeant. Next comes the junior sergeant, who leads the squad, and the sergeant, who can already lead an entire platoon. But not all soldiers are given a sergeant. There will be only two or three of them in the company.

Conclusion: if you want to run around at night on platoon or squad business, fill out various documentation, monitor the whole platoon, get paid for them, etc., then you can become a junior sergeant. And if you just want to quietly serve in the army, then be a private.

As they say, everything is in your hands and in fact, make it so that you awarded military rank not that hard
