Flottiljamiral
Rear admiral (lower half), abbreviated RAdm ( sv, Flottiljamiral, Fljam; ) is a one-star flag officer in the Swedish Navy. Rear admiral (lower half) ranks above captain and below rear admiral. The rank is equivalent to brigadier general in the Swedish Army, Swedish Air Force and the Swedish Amphibious Corps. History In 1972, the so-called employment reform (''tjänstställningsreformen'') was implemented. In connection with the Swedish Armed Forces' increasing involvement in international operations with UN battalions and observers, it became increasingly clear that the Swedish service system did not quite correspond to what was common in other countries. A Swedish captain had basically the same training and service as a major in other countries' defense forces. In many cases, a Swedish colonel had tasks that in other armed forces were performed by brigadier generals. During the 1960s, this was solved many times by the Swedish officers being given a higher rank during the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
