Ranks And Insignia Of NATO Navies' Officers
Each officer rank in the navy of a NATO country may be compared with the ranks used by any military service in other NATO countries, under a standardized NATO rank scale. This is useful, for instance, in establishing seniority amongst officers serving alongside each other within multinational command structures. The grades, prefixed ''OF-'' (commissioned officers) and ''WO-'' (warrant officers) were established in the document STANAG 2116, formally titled ''NATO Codes for Grades of Military Personnel''. In many navies, two separate ranks fall within the OF-1 grade. These particular ranks, known by various names in different navies, are commonly given the less formal grades of "OF-1a" (more senior) and "OF-1b" (less senior). Officers (OF-1 – 10) Warrant officers (WO-1 – 5) Warrant officers rank below officers and above enlisted servicemen. In the United States, Chief Warrant Officers are commissioned officers. WO are used for United States warrant officers only. Countr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
