Överste
Colonel (Col) ( sv, Överste, Öv) is the most senior field grade military officer rank in the Swedish Army and the Swedish Air Force, immediately above the rank of lieutenant colonel and just below the rank of brigadier general. It is equivalent to the naval rank of captain in the Swedish Navy. History ''Överste'' ("Colonel") is the name for the highest regimental officer rank. The name, sometimes in the connection with ''häröverste'' ("army colonel") and also ''generalöverste'' ("colonel general"), is as old as a standing army, that is, from the end of the Middle Ages. During the 16th and 17th centuries, a famous soldier was commissioned to recruit a regiment and was then appointed colonel at the head of it. The regiment was thus the colonel's belonging; he appointed, among other things, its officers. To the extent that the recruitment was immediately taken over by the state, the colonels began to be appointed by the king as well as the other officers. Even today, the colone ...

The rank is equivalent to lieutenant colonel in the Swedish Army, Swedish Air Force and the Swedish Amphibious Corps. Before 1972, the rank of commander was divided into two ranks: commander (''kommendörkapten av 1:a graden/klassen'') and lieutenant commander (''kommendörkapten av 2:a graden/klassen''). History Commanders of the Swedish Navy were divided into two ranks: commander (''kommendörkapten av 1:a klass'', ) and lieutenant commander (''kommendörkapten av 2:a klassen'', ). The first rank corresponded to a lieutenant colonel and the second to a major in the Swedish Army. From 1771 the whole rank was called lieutenant colonel also in the navy, but from 1824 lieutenant commander (''kommendörkapten av 2:a klassen''). In 1845 the division of classes disappeared, and the rank became only commander until 1866, when the rank wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
