Lieutenant
A lieutenant ( , ; abbreviated Lt., Lt, LT, Lieut and similar) is a commissioned officer rank in the armed forces of many nations. The meaning of lieutenant differs in different militaries (see comparative military ranks), but it is often subdivided into senior (first lieutenant) and junior (second lieutenant and even third lieutenant) ranks. In navies, it is often equivalent to the army rank of captain; it may also indicate a particular post rather than a rank. The rank is also used in fire services, emergency medical services, security services and police forces. Lieutenant may also appear as part of a title used in various other organisations with a codified command structure. It often designates someone who is " second-in-command", and as such, may precede the name of the rank directly above it.

Military Ranks Of Russia
Modern Russian military ranks trace their roots to the Table of Ranks established by Peter the Great. Most of the rank names were borrowed from existing German/Prussian, French, English, Dutch, and Polish ranks upon the formation of the Russian regular army in the late 17th century. Russian Tsardom The Kievan Rus had no standing army apart from small ''druzhina'' (дружи́на), a permanent group of personal guards for the local ruler (knyaz, ''prince''); an individual member of such a unit called a '' druzhinnik'' (дружи́нник). In times of war, the ''knyaz'' raised a militia comprising volunteers from the peasantry, and the ''druzhina'' served as the core of the troops. Each local ''knyaz'' served as the military leader of his troops. Such arrangements had no need for permanent ranks or positions; they were created ''ad hoc'', based on the task(s) in hand. Upon the formation of '' Strelets troops'' in the mid-16th century, the low-level commanding officers were ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Military Ranks Of Poland
This article presents the military ranks of the entire Polish Armed Forces as well as the rank insignia used today. The system of rank insignia is a direct descendant of various systems used throughout history by the Polish Army. Some of the grades trace their name back to the Middle Ages, for instance the rank of literally means a ''flag bearer'' or an Ensign. Names of Polish ranks are often of foreign origin, like the ones introduced by the 17th-century mercenaries serving for the Polish Crown. These include the rank of , which is a derivative of the Italian - much like the English equivalent of corporal. As the structure of Polish rank names substantially differs from the English one, it seems more appropriate to give the U.S. or U.K. equivalent ranks, based on the common NATO codes, rather than to provide a literal translation which can lead to numerous misinterpretations. Origins Most rank titles are cognates to the ones in English, with some exceptions. Notably ''colon ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
