In order to know exactly how, according to the charter, it is necessary to contact a serviceman, 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. In the Russian Federation, there is both a horizontal structure - military and naval ranks, and a vertical hierarchy - from the rank and file to the highest officer.

Rank and file

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

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

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

Only the senior soldiers who perform best in the military are promoted to Corporal... Such soldiers can act as commanders during the absence of the latter.

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

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

Since November 1940, the rank for junior command personnel has appeared in the Soviet army - sergeant... It is awarded to cadets who have successfully completed the training program for sergeants and graduated with honors.
A private can also receive the title - Lance Sergeant, who proved himself worthy to be awarded the next rank, or upon transfer to the reserve.

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

Next comes the Senior Sergeant, and in the Navy - chief petty officer.



After this rank, there are some intersections of land and sea forces. Because after the senior sergeant, in the ranks of the Russian army appears Sergeant Major... This title came into use in 1935. It is deserved only by the best military personnel who have served excellently in sergeant positions for six months, or upon transfer to the reserve, the rank of sergeant is assigned to senior sergeants, certified excellently. On the ship it is - chief petty officer.

Followed by ensigns and warrant officers... This is a special category of military personnel, close to junior officers. Rounding out the rank and file 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 undergraduates and graduates of higher military educational institutions. However, in the event of a shortage of officers, a graduate of a civilian university can also receive the rank of junior lieutenant.

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

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

By the way, the new field uniform from Yudashkin obliged our servicemen to duplicate the insignia on the chest. There is an opinion that the "underdogs" from the leadership do not see the ranks of our officers on their shoulders and this is done for their convenience.

Senior officers

Senior officers start with a rank Major... In the navy, this rank corresponds to Rank 3 captain... The following naval ranks will only increase the rank of the captain, that is, the rank of land Lieutenant colonel will match Rank 2 captain, and the title ColonelCaptain Rank 1.


Senior officers

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

Major general or Rear admiral(in the navy) - this is the proud title of servicemen 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 his shoulder straps and the Major General has one).

Initially in the Soviet army, it was more likely not a rank, but a position, for the Lieutenant General was an assistant to the general and took on some of his functions, in contrast to Colonel General who can personally fill senior positions, both in the General Staff and in the Ministry of Defense. In addition, in the Russian armed forces, a Colonel-General can be the deputy commander of a military district.

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

Well, salaga, now figured it out?)

Ranks in the Russian army: comparative table + samples of shoulder straps + 12 interesting facts on the topic + 7 army customs.

Even if in military training lessons a mustachioed military leader made you cram ranks in the Russian army, we are sure that nothing has been deposited in your head, except for the unrestrained "laugh" in the classroom, the braids of classmates and the first cigarettes smoked around the corner of the school.

It's time to fill this gap in order to distinguish at first glance the "real colonel" from the "warrant officer Shmatko".

Ranks in the Russian army? And where are they "distributed"?

In the Russian army, all military ranks are divided into 2 large categories:

  • shipboard (those received by gallant sailors);
  • military (assigned to "land rats").

Category No. 1. "Shipborne": "You are a sailor, I am a sailor ..."

Those who serve in:

  • Navy(his submarine and surface forces). Oh, these gallant officers in naval uniforms - how many girls' hearts they broke!;
  • military naval units Ministry of Internal Affairs. Yes, yes, there are also naval cops!
  • protection (coastal) of the Border Service of the Russian FSB.

    No, they do not catch poachers with two buckets of crucians, but guard the water lines from illegal immigrants and other offenders.

Category № 2. "Troops": "And I love the military, handsome, hefty ...".

Meeting the captain of a long voyage in a white jacket is a rather difficult task if you do not live somewhere near the gentle sea. But don't despair!

In the Russian army, ranks are also received in:

  • The Armed Forces;
  • Ministry of Internal Affairs (precinct and other police "people");
  • Ministry of Emergency Situations (brave "rescuers Malibu");

    “If you think that the work of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is sheer heroism and a thriller, then I have to disappoint you: sometimes you just have to carry out explanatory work with the priests so that they do not burn the church with candles, and together with them the old women parishioners and the cats from the trees shoot, and tell grandmothers how to heat the stove in winter and not suffocate from carbon monoxide. But rank, uniform and social benefits make the job much more bearable. ", - Vadim from Khmelnitsky shares his impressions of the service.

  • Intelligence Service (foreign) (aha-aha, those same followers of Stirlitz!);
  • Federal Guard Service;
  • other military units.

All ranks of the Russian army in one table: dispel the "darkness of ignorance"

Find 10 differences: shoulder straps for different ranks in the Russian army

To make it clear at first glance "who is who?" in the Russian troops, insignia were introduced - sleeve insignia (for sailors) shoulder straps and shoulder straps (for all fighters).

1) Shoulder straps of unofficial ranks

2) Shoulder straps of officer ranks

Top 12 interesting facts about ranks in the Russian army

  1. The only one who can command a marshal of the Russian Federation (even give him the command "Take the emphasis while lying down!") Is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, who is also the President of the Russian Federation. Moreover, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief is a position, not a rank in the Russian troops.
  2. The current President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin left the FSB with the rank of colonel, but now the position allows him to "build" the owners of the highest military ranks.
  3. The Minister of Defense commands both sailors and ground forces. Therefore, there is no higher rank than admiral of the fleet in the naval forces.
  4. Do not try to express your respect for the brave warriors by diligently writing out their ranks in the Russian armed forces with a capital letter. The fact is that all these words (from sailor to marshal) are written with a small letter;
  5. If you are lucky enough to serve in the guards units, then the word "guard" is added to the rank, for example, "guard colonel". Agree, it sounds!
  6. Even if you retired or in reserve and quietly and peacefully grow cucumbers in your country house, your title with the prefix "in reserve" or "in retirement" is assigned to you.

    “A colonel, even if he is retired or retired, will still embarrass the traffic police sergeant who stopped him for violating traffic rules. The poor guy will scold, scold and let go without penalty. So the title works for you! "- says military pensioner Alexander from Kharkov with a laugh.

  7. To the ranks of military doctors and lawyers add "justice" (for example, "captain of justice") or "medical service" (for example, "colonel of the medical service").

    This is certainly not George Clooney from Ambulance, but it sounds great too!

  8. Those who entered to study at a military university, but so far only in sweet dreams see their high ranks in the Russian troops, are called cadets, and those who have already managed to "sniff gunpowder" (have a military rank) are called listeners.
  9. For a whole year of service (urgent) the maximum that "shines" for you in the Russian army is the rank of sergeant.
  10. Since 2012, the ranks of the chief ship sergeant and foreman have not been assigned (they are simply "skipped"), but they remained on pieces of paper. Such is the "wonderland"!
  11. Although the rank of major is higher than the rank of lieutenant, but by some strange, inexplicable logic, the lieutenant general in the Russian Federation is higher in the rank of major general.
  12. In the Russian army, the next rank is awarded for personal merit and length of service. If your commanders judge your bright moral character, high level of "combat and political training", then how much should be "cut off" from rank to rank, we will guide you:

    P / p No.Rank in the Russian armyLength of service
    1 Private, sailor5 months
    2 Junior sergeant, petty officer of the second class1 year
    3 Sergeant, petty officer of the first class2 years

    5 Ensign, midshipman3 years

    8 Senior lieutenant3 years
    9 Captain, Lieutenant Commander4 years
    10 Major, captain 3rd rank4 years
    11 Lieutenant Colonel, Captain 2nd Rank5 years
  13. Then, to get the next "star" on the shoulder straps, you will have to serve for 5 years. A prerequisite is also the presence of a position suitable for your new title:

    RankPosition
    PrivateAll newly recruited into the army, all lower positions (shooter, driver, gun crew, driver-mechanic, sapper, reconnaissance officer, radio operator, etc.)
    CorporalThere are no regular corporal positions. The title is awarded to highly qualified soldiers in lower ranks.

They do not live by titles alone in the Russian army! 7 interesting military signs and customs

Ranks in the Russian army are, of course, a burning topic, but we also want to tell you about interesting traditions, signs and customs in the army:

  • only a lazy person has not heard about the "washing" of a new rank with the ritual dipping of "stars" in a glass of vodka and sabantuy with colleagues.

    There is a whole instruction for carrying out this important, almost magical ritual - https://www.antik-war.lv/viewtopic.php?p=2140415

    the paratrooper is unlikely to take someone else's parachute.

    We suspect that this sign arose due to the fact that no matter how much you love brother Seryoga, who sleeps with you in the barracks on the next bed, you cannot be sure that he will prepare the parachute as carefully as you;

    “Even though I still feel with bones every unsuccessful jump and groan in bad weather, but landing is what made me a real man. And it's not about shoulder straps, benefits and a normal pension, but about the fact that it was there that I learned to do something through “I can't”, learned what real male friendship is and traveled, thanks to the service, around the world. I had a gorgeous, rich youth without mobile, Internet and pretentious coffee shops ", - Vladimir from Penza shares his memories.

  • three or more fighters cannot be lit from one match.

    Experienced people say that during this time the sniper will have plenty of time to open aimed fire;

    submariners do not shave during combat missions.

    Well, what, you won't find young ladies on a submarine with fire in the daytime, so there is no one to show off in front of anyone;

  • submariners do not like the number 9, as many accidents happened with boats, in the number of which this very "nine" was (K-9, K-129, K-159, etc.);
  • bathing of paratroopers on the day of the Airborne Forces in the fountains- this is from the series "Understand and Forgive";
  • paratroopers make their first "jumps" from a stool, holding a box of matches between their knees.

    Of course, you need to land softly, and matches should not fall to the floor;

    graduates of military universities, after the official part of the prom, hide several bills under each shoulder strap.

    The money is received by a junior cadet who will be the first to salute the newly minted junior lieutenant and congratulate him on being awarded the rank.

Ship ranks in the navy used in the Russian Navy and assigned to sailors as they are able to take responsibility for the command of one or another military personnel. They are also assigned to the military coast guard of the border troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, underwater and water subdivisions of the Navy and naval troops.

Almost all naval ranks differ from the missile and ground forces, the Airborne Forces and the Airborne Forces. From 1884 to 1991, they changed due to a number of events:

  • the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917;
  • the creation of the Soviet Union and its subsequent disintegration 1922-1991;
  • creation of the Russian Federation in 1991

Modern ranks in the navy are divided into 4 categories:

1. Conscripts for compulsory and contract service. This includes: a sailor, a senior sailor, a foreman of the second class, a foreman of the first class, and a chief ship sergeant. Also, the foremen's staff includes a midshipman and a senior midshipman.

2. Junior officers of the fleet. These are: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant and lieutenant commander.

3. Senior officers of the Navy. Ranks are divided by: captains of the third, second and first rank.

4. Senior officers. Consists of: Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral and Admiral of the Fleet.

Detailed description of ship ranks in ascending order

Sailor- junior rank in the navy, which corresponds to a land private. These are conscripts for military service.

Senior sailor- a parallel to the rank of corporal, which is assigned to a seaman for discipline and exemplary performance of duties. Can be an assistant to the foreman and replace the foreman of the second class.

Petty officers

Sergeant Major of the Second Class- the junior rank in the petty officer, which was introduced on November 2, 1940. Ranked above the senior sailor and below the foreman of the first class. Maybe a squad leader.

Chief of the first article- a seaman of the fleet, who is ranked higher than the foreman of the second class, but below the main foreman. The second, as it grows in the list of petty officers, was introduced on November 2, 1940. This is a squad leader who has shown excellent results in the performance of military and organizational duties.

Chief ship sergeant- military rank in the Navy of the Russian Federation and the Coast Guard. Takes place between the foreman of the first class and the midshipman of the fleet. The naval rank of the chief ship sergeant corresponds to the army senior sergeant. Can replace platoon commander.

Midshipman- a word of English origin, which is assigned to a seafarer after passing the relevant training programs and courses. On the ground, this is an ensign. Performs organizational and combat duties within the platoon commander or company foreman.

Senior Warrant Officer- a military rank in the Russian Navy, which is higher in rank than a midshipman, but lower than a junior lieutenant. Likewise - a senior warrant officer in other branches of the military.

Junior officers

Rank junior lieutenant comes from French and translates as "substitute". He occupies the first stage in the junior officer corps, both in the ground and in the naval forces. Can be a post or platoon commander.

Lieutenant- the second among ranks in the navy ranked above the junior lieutenant and below the senior lieutenant. Awarded at the end of his service life with the rank of junior lieutenant.

Senior lieutenant- the naval rank of junior officers in Russia, which is higher in rank than lieutenant, and lower than lieutenant commander. With excellent performance in the service, he can be the assistant to the captain of the ship.

Lieutenant captain- the highest rank of junior officers, which in the Russian Federation and Germany corresponds to the captain of the army of the ground forces. A sailor with this rank is considered the deputy captain of the ship and the commander of a company of hundreds of subordinates.

Senior officers

Rank 3 Captain- corresponds to an army major. The abbreviated name of the shoulder strap is "captri". Among the responsibilities is the command of a ship of the corresponding rank. These are small military vessels: landing, anti-submarine, torpedo and minesweepers.

Captain of the second rank, or "kapdwa" - the rank of a sailor in the Naval Forces, which corresponds to a lieutenant colonel by land ranks. This is the commander of a ship of the same rank: large landing, missile and destroyer boats.

Captain of the first rank, or "kapraz", "kapturang" - a military rank in the Russian Navy, which is higher in rank than captain of the second rank and lower than rear admiral. May 7, 1940 exists among ranks in the navy, decided by the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. "Kapturang" commands ships with complex control and enormous military power: aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and cruisers.

Senior officers

Rear admiral can command a squadron of ships and replace the flotilla commander. Adopted since 1940 and since then corresponds to Major General of the Ground Forces and Aviation.

Vice Admiral- the rank of seamen in Russia, which allows you to replace the admiral. Corresponds to the Lieutenant General of the Ground Forces. Controls the actions of the fleets.

Admiral from the Dutch language it is translated as "lord of the sea", therefore it is a senior officer. The rank of Colonel General corresponds to the army employees. Manages an active fleet.

Admiral of the Fleet- the highest acting rank, as well as in other types of troops, the general of the army. He manages the fleet and is assigned to acting admirals with excellent combat, organizational and strategic indicators.

What types of troops are assigned naval ranks?

The Navy of the Russian Federation (Russian Navy) also includes the following parts:

  • the marines;
  • coast guard;
  • naval aviation.

The Marine Corps is a unit that defends military installations, coastal areas and other sea lines. As part of the "marines" there are sabotage and reconnaissance groups. Marine Corps motto: "Where we are, there is victory."

The Coast Guard is a branch of the armed forces that defend the bases of the fleets of the Russian Federation and special facilities of the coastal zone. They have at their disposal anti-aircraft, torpedo, mine weapons, as well as missile systems and other artillery.

Naval aviation - troops whose duties include detecting and destroying the enemy, defending ships and other elements from enemy forces, destroying enemy aircraft, helicopters and other air structures. Also, the aviation of the Russian Federation carries out air transportation and rescue operations on the high seas.

How and why are the seamen awarded the next rank?

The assignment of the next rank is stipulated in the current laws of the Russian Federation:

  • for a senior sailor, you need to serve for 5 months;
  • getting a foreman of the 2nd article can be expected after a year of service;
  • three years for the senior sergeant and the chief sergeant of the ship;
  • three years to obtain a midshipman;
  • 2 years for a junior lieutenant;
  • 3 to get a lieutenant and a senior lieutenant;
  • 4 years to get a Lieutenant Commander and a Rank 3 Captain.
  • 5 years before the captain of the 2nd and 1st rank;
  • for senior officers at least a year in the previous rank.

It is also worth knowing that military ranks in the navy can be assigned if the deadline has not yet passed, but the military has shown his organizational, tactical and strategic abilities. A sailor who does not want to become an admiral is bad, especially since it is possible. There are many examples of ambitious sailors with a large mindset who became admirals.

    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 are in the following order:

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

    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.

    Private, in the fleet this rank corresponds to a sailor, then a corporal, in the fleet - a senior sailor; junior sergeant, in the fleet a foreman of the second class; sergeant-foreman of the first class, senior sergeant-foreman; foreman - chief ship sergeant; next are ensign, in the fleet warrant officer, senior warrant officer, senior warrant officer. Officer staff: junior lieutenant - the same in the navy; the lieutenant in the navy is the same; the senior lieutenant in the navy is the same; captain, lieutenant in the captain's fleet; followed by senior officers: major - in the fleet captain of the third rank; lieutenant colonel - in the fleet captain of the second rank; colonel - in the navy captain of the first rank. Then follows the senior officers: major general - in the fleet counter-admiral; lieutenant general in the fleet vice -admiral; colonel-general-admiral, and final rank of army general. There were marshals in the USSR, but now, in my opinion, they have been abolished. Only two people, Suvorov and Stalin, had the highest rank of Generallisimus.

    To begin with, I will say that in different countries there are very different ranks, it is also worth noting that the Navy and ordinary ground forces also have different ranks, for example, the Fleet:

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

    Military ranks of France

    Military ranks of China

    Military ranks of Germany

    Military ranks of Turkey

    The Army and the Navy each have their own military ranks. Of course, they have a number of similarities, but they differ, both in name and in the number of stars and stripes. One more difference should be added - 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 need to be separated for navy and land.

    So with regard to the ground forces, military ranks are located exactly 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 naval.

    Warrant officers and warrant officers:

    Junior officers:

    Senior officers;

    Marshal of the Russian Federation - the highest military rank.

    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 servicemen of the guards units, the prefix is ​​added to the military rank - guards ...

    Soldiers and sailors, sergeants and foremen, warrant officers and warrant officers ...

    http://cdn01.ru/files/users/images/a3/f2/a3f267568b55247d6afd4c69547a1792.jpg

    Junior, middle, senior officers. Marshal of the Russian Federation ...

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

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

    Privates:

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

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

    Warrant officers and warrant officers:

    Military ranks: warrant officer, senior warrant officer

    Ship ranks: midshipman, senior midshipman

    Officer staff:

    Junior officers:

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

    Ship ranks: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant commander.

    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, the Marshal of the Russian Federation.

    There are military ranks in the Army and the Navy, which 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 the Navy, the position plays an important role. It happens that an officer with a higher rank is subordinate to an officer with a lower rank.

    Military ranks go as follows, starting with small:

    On land: private, corporal, junior sergeant, senior sergeant, warrant officer, senior warrant officer, 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 Marshal, but it was canceled.
