Army ranks, shoulder straps. How to learn the ranks and shoulder straps of military personnel? Existing insignia

Perhaps during your student years, a military training teacher told you about the various ranks that are used in our army, but it is unlikely that you absorbed this information with the same eagerness with which you laughed furiously in class, smoked in the school yard, or pulled your wrists. braids of girls from their class.

However, knowledge about this subject should be in every man’s head, so that he, without hesitation, understands who is a “real major” and who is “Warrant Officer Shmatko.”, military ranks in the Russian army.

Rank categories in the Russian Army

There are two main groups of ranks in the Russian troops:

shipborne (refers to those who serve at sea);
military (go to representatives of ground troops).

Ship ranks

Navy (both under water and above water). The naval uniform has always suited men. No wonder girls like sailors so much!
military naval units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It sounds unusual, but there are also police officers at sea.
protection of the coastal (Border) service of the Russian FSB.

They do not chase unscrupulous fishermen who caught a couple of buckets of crucian carp without permission. Their direct responsibility is the capture of illegal immigrants and other criminals on the country’s waterways.

Military ranks

It is not so easy to see sea captains in snow-white uniforms on the streets of cities, especially if there is no sea nearby. But this is no reason to be upset!

Titles are also given in:

Armed forces.
Ministry of Internal Affairs (servicemen from the category of “policemen” or district police officers).
Ministry of Emergency Situations (dared souls saving people in trouble).

Vadim, an Emergency Situations Ministry worker from Khmelnitsky, says that many people imagine the Ministry of Emergency Situations workers as real rescue heroes who live all day long as if in a thriller. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. The life of an EMERCOM nickname consists of daily visits to some priests in order to carry out explanatory work, otherwise they will inadvertently burn down the church and everyone who came there. Rescuers also remove cats from trees and teach old women how to light the stove so as not to die from carbon monoxide. But the Ministry of Emergency Situations employees still evaluate their work positively. This is facilitated by titles, uniforms and social benefits.

foreign intelligence service (Yes, yes! Imagine - new Stirlitz!);
and other military units of our country.

Ranks table

In order to make the description of ranks less boring, we decided to present information about them as a cheat sheet (military and ship ranks, located on the same line, are analogous):


Type	Military	Korabelnoe
Non-officer	private, corporal, Lance Sergeant, sergeant, staff Sergeant, foreman, ensign, Senior Warrant Officer	sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the second article, foreman of the first article, chief petty officer, chief ship's foreman, midshipman, senior midshipman
Junior officers	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain	junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain-lieutenant
Senior officers	major, lieutenant colonel, Colonel	captain 1st rank, captain 2nd rank, captain 3rd rank
Senior officers	major general Lieutenant General, Colonel General, army General, Marshal of the Russian Federation	rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, fleet admiral

Shoulder straps

Soldiers and sailors. There are no insignia on the shoulder straps.
Sergeants and petty officers. Badges are used as insignia. Warriors have long called them “snot.”
Ensigns and midshipmen. Cross-stitched stars are used as insignia. The shoulder straps resemble those of an officer, but without stripes. Also, there may be edgings.
Junior officers. There is a vertical clearance and metal sprockets (13 mm).
Senior officers. Two stripes and large metal stars (20 mm).
Senior officers. Large embroidered stars (22 mm), located vertically; no stripes.
General of the Army, Admiral of the Fleet. A large star with a diameter of 40 mm, not metal, but embroidered.
Marshal Russian Federation. One very large star (40 mm) is embroidered on the shoulder strap. Silver rays diverge in a circle - the shape of a pentagon is obtained. The pattern of the Russian coat of arms is also noticeable.

Of course, when reading the text, many have a hard time trying to imagine the appearance of the shoulder straps. Therefore, especially for them, there is a picture in which all of the above is clearly depicted.

Shoulder straps of non-officers

Officer's shoulder straps

Marshal of the Russian Federation is the highest rank in the ground forces, but above him there is also a person who can give him orders (even command him to take a prone position). This person is the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, who is also the President of the Russian Federation. What is noteworthy is that the title of Supreme Commander-in-Chief is classified as a position, not a military rank.
Vladimir Putin, who currently holds this position, left the Federal Security Service as a colonel. Now, in his position, he issues commands to military personnel with ranks that he has never achieved in his entire career.
Both naval and ground forces are subordinate to the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation. Therefore, admiral is the highest rank in the Navy hierarchy.
Writing the names of ranks of the RF Armed Forces with a capital letter in order to show respect to experienced servants is a completely unnecessary matter. All ranks from private to admiral are written with a lowercase letter.
The prefix “guard” adds special prestige to the way this or that title sounds. Not everyone is destined to receive it, but only those. who serves in the guards regiments.
Servants who have retired from military affairs and calmly dig potatoes in their dachas do not lose their rank, but continue to wear it with the prefix “reserved” or “retired.”

Without holding back his laughter, a military pensioner from Kharkov, Alexander, says that the colonel, whether he is retired or in reserve, will instill fear in any traffic cop who stops him on the road for violating traffic rules. The guy will get off a hundred sweats while he pretends to reprimand the offender, and then he will completely let the colonel go without a fine. So, a title always helps in life.

Army doctors are also given special ranks. For example, "Major medical service" The situation is similar for lawyers - “captain of justice”.

Of course, it’s a long way from George Clooney from ER, but it still sounds decent!

Having just taken this path and entered a university, young guys become cadets. For now, they can only dream of how they will receive their first title, and then one of the highest ones. There is another group of students. They are called listeners. These are those who have already received military rank.
While the one-year military service is underway, you can at most become a sergeant. Not higher.
Since 2012, the ranks of chief petty officer and chief sergeant have been abolished. Formally, they exist, but in reality, service members receive the following ranks, bypassing these ranks.
We all know that a major is higher than a lieutenant, but for some reason this logic was not taken into account when ranking general ranks. A lieutenant general is higher in rank than a major general. This is the system in the Russian Armed Forces.
To receive a new rank in the Russian troops, you need to have a certain length of service and personal achievements. Before assigning the next rank to a candidate, commanders judge the soldier’s moral character and combat and political training skills. The table below describes the length of service requirements required to move from one rank to another:

Rank	Job title
Private	All those newly called up for service, all lower positions (gunner, driver, gun crew number, driver, sapper, reconnaissance officer, radio operator, etc.)
Corporal	There are no full-time corporal positions. The rank is given to soldiers in the lowest positions, with a high level of training.
Junior Sergeant, Sergeant	Squad, tank, gun commander
Staff Sergeant	Deputy Platoon Leader
Sergeant Major	Company Sergeant Major
Ensign, Art. ensign	Material support platoon commander, company sergeant major, warehouse chief, radio station chief and other non-commissioned positions that require a high level of training. Sometimes they work in lower officer positions when there is a shortage of officers
Ensign	Platoon commander. This rank is usually awarded when there is an acute shortage of officers after completing accelerated officer training courses.
Lieutenant, Art. lieutenant	Platoon commander, deputy company commander.
Captain	Company commander, training platoon commander
Major	Deputy battalion commander. Training company commander
Lieutenant colonel	Battalion commander, deputy regiment commander

Colonel General	Army Commander, Deputy District (Front) Commander
Army General	District (front) commander, Deputy Minister of Defense, Minister of Defense, Chief of the General Staff, other senior positions
Marshal of the Russian Federation	Honorary title given for special merits

Assigned to a serviceman in accordance with his official position, belonging to a particular branch of the armed forces.

The history of military ranks

In Rus', the emergence of permanent military formations was associated with the beginning of the use of firearms. Indeed, in order to learn how to use this type of weapon, frequent and regular training, as well as specific knowledge, were necessary. During the reign of Ivan the Terrible, Streltsy hundreds appeared in Russia, and military ranks appeared in them. The first military ranks of the Russian army were: archer, foreman, centurion. However, they were an amalgamation of military rank and position held in a military formation. Later, under Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, two more titles appeared - Pentecostal and Head. After this, the hierarchy of military ranks began to look like this:

1. Sagittarius.

2. Foreman.

3. Pentecostal.

4. Centurion.

5. Head.

By modern standards, a foreman can be equated to the rank of sergeant or foreman, a pentecostal to a lieutenant, a centurion, respectively, to a captain, but a head is the same as a colonel. By the way, under Boris Godunov, foreign military units - companies - already had the ranks of “captain” - captain and “lieutenant” - lieutenant, but these ranks were not used in Russian units. And by the end of the 17th century, during the reign of Peter the Great, the military ranks of the Russian army were replenished with the rank of half-head and colonel, the latter is still used to this day. During the same period, regiments of a foreign system were formed. Both Russians and foreign mercenaries served in them. The system of these units almost corresponded to the European ones, and the hierarchy of ranks was formed from the following ranks:

I. Soldier.

II. Cpl.

III. Ensign.

IV. Lieutenant (lieutenant).

V. Captain (captain).

VI. Quartermaster.

VII. Major.

VIII. Lieutenant colonel.

IX. Colonel.

Until 1654, the military ranks of the Tsarist Russian Army did not include the rank of general. This title was first awarded to Avram Leslie by Peter the Great for the return of the city of Smolensk. It was this king who introduced this title as an addition to the highest ranks of the state. This is how ranks appeared, etc.

Hierarchy of ranks in the early twentieth century

General (the highest military ranks of the Russian army):

General - (field marshal; lieutenant; major);

General of infantry, cavalry, etc.

Staff officers (highest military ranks of the Russian army):

Colonel;

Lieutenant colonel;

Chief officers (middle officer ranks):

Captain (captain);

Staff Captain;

Lieutenant;

Second lieutenant (cornet).

Ensigns (lower officer ranks):

Ensign, sub-ensign and ordinary ensign.

Non-commissioned officers:

Feldwebel;

Non-commissioned officer (senior, junior).

corporal;
private

Military ranks in the modern Russian army (ground forces)

After October revolution, the establishment of Soviet power on the territory of the Russian Empire and the birth of the Soviet Army, the military regulations underwent some changes. A new hierarchy of ranks was created, which, in principle, is no different from the modern one. Below is a list including military ranks of the Russian army.

Private and Corporal.

Junior command staff:

Sergeant (junior, senior).
Sergeant major.
Ensign (senior).

Officers:

Lieutenant (junior, senior).
Captain.
Major.

Officer commanding staff:

Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel.
General- (-major, -lieutenant, -colonel, army).

That's full list, which includes all military ranks corresponding to each rank, are shoulder insignia by which the rank of a particular serviceman can be determined.

For the first time, Peter I strictly regulated ranks and their receipt in the “Table of Ranks”. In the Russian Imperial Army there were such ranks as sergeant major, non-commissioned officer, sergeant, corporal, and ensign. The modern system of ranks in the Armed Forces and other law enforcement agencies is enshrined in the law of the Russian Federation “On military duty and military service».

Ranks in the army are insignia designed to maintain subordination, delineate rights, responsibilities and privileges. Based on military affiliation, ranks are classified into naval and military.

According to the hierarchy, gradation is made into non-officer and officer ranks. The latter, in turn, are divided into junior, senior and senior officers. Regardless of rank, all military personnel are subject to military registration.

Ranks in the Russian army, in ascending order, start from ordinary soldier and end with marshal. The Supreme Commander-in-Chief is not a title, but a position held by the President of the country. The highest military rank is generalissimo. In total, in the history of Russia there were five commanders awarded the highest rank, the most famous of which are A.V. Suvorov and I.V. Stalin.

A feature of military ranks in the Russian Federation is the use of clarifications. Soldiers and officers of guard units wear the prefix “guard” (guard private, guard lieutenant).

The rank of military personnel of the medical and legal services is joined by “justice” (Colonel of Justice), and “medical service” (sergeant of the medical service). For persons who have retired from the Armed Forces, the clarification of “reserve” (reserve major) or “retired” (retired major general) applies.

About shoulder straps in the army

The distinctive shoulder insignia of military personnel, by which an informed person can determine rank, are shoulder straps. As one of the main elements of a military uniform, shoulder straps were introduced during Peter's reforms in the army.

In the middle of the 19th century, this element of uniform became determining the attitude of a serviceman to a particular regiment and the difference between ranks. At the beginning of the 20th century, shoulder straps were abolished. They were replaced by sleeve insignia (chevrons) and insignia of distinction in buttonholes (badges on the collar of uniforms).

The chevrons remained until 2013, but no longer denoted the rank of a serviceman, but his affiliation with certain troops or service in the Ministry of Defense (MoD) and the General Staff. The return of shoulder straps to the Armed Forces took place during the Great Patriotic War (1943).

The main elements of shoulder straps are:

fabric or metal braids, otherwise - stripes located across the shoulder straps - for non-officers;
stars - for warrant officers in the army and midshipmen in the navy;
stars and a single gap (a stripe running along the shoulder strap) - for the junior officer corps;
stars and two skylights - correspond to senior officers;
embroidered stars and fabric relief - for senior officers.

Shoulder straps can be sewn on or removable, as well as ceremonial, everyday and intended for field uniforms. The size of shoulder insignia varies depending on the type of uniform (winter coat, dress or casual jacket, shirt).

The color of the gaps on officer's shoulder straps differs depending on the branch of the military. Military personnel of the VKS (Military Space Forces), Airborne Forces (Airborne Forces) wear shoulder straps with blue gaps, border guards have green gaps, and combined arms shoulder straps of ground forces have red gaps. Naval officers are prescribed black shoulder badges (white for dress uniforms) with gold highlights.

Military ranks and shoulder straps of non-officers

The first, and for most conscript soldiers the last, rank that a recruit automatically receives is private. Shoulder insignia do not have any attributes. Next comes the corporal, who has one transverse fabric braid on his shoulders. Then comes the sergeants:

junior sergeant - two braids;
sergeant - three braids;
senior sergeant - one cross braid, but wider in size than the previous stripes.

Since 2020, the concept of “Chief Sergeant” has appeared in the Armed Forces. It has nothing to do with hierarchical ranks, since it is not a title, but a position.

Above sergeants but below warrant officers are sergeants majors. This is the last rank in the army, which is awarded to a young man who does not have a special military education. The shoulder straps of the foremen are characterized by one wide braid located lengthwise. Warrant officers are a separate category. These are contract soldiers who graduated from the special “Warrant Officer School”.

In Soviet times, they were called super-conscripts. Shoulder attributes are plain (blue for the Airborne Forces and Aerospace Forces, green for other branches of the military). Warrant officers have two stars with a diameter of 13 mm located along their shoulder straps (senior warrant officers have three stars).

What kind of shoulder straps do junior officers wear?

Junior officers are represented by lieutenant, junior and senior lieutenant (starley), and captain. The star paraphernalia on the shoulder straps has a thirteen-millimeter diameter. The junior lieutenant has one star located in the gap, the lieutenant has two stars located parallel to each other through the gap.

A senior lieutenant has three stars on his insignia. Two of them have the same location as in the previous version, and the third is in the clear. The captain receives four stars on his shoulder straps (of all ranks in the army, this is considered the most beautiful).

The location corresponds to the starley's shoulder insignia, plus one more star is added for clearance. Before receiving the rank of lieutenant, future officers undergo 4–5 years of training at higher military educational institutions. All this time they have been cadets with the corresponding letter “K” on their shoulder straps.

Senior officers, bright spots and stars

For those who are senior officers, larger stars are provided - 20 mm in diameter, and shoulder straps with two clearances. Senior officers are represented by:

Major. One twenty-millimeter sprocket is located between the gaps.
Lieutenant colonel. The shoulder insignia looks similar to the lieutenant's shoulder straps, only the stars are placed directly on the gaps.
Colonel. The location of two stars is identical to the lieutenant colonel, the third is located between the gaps.

The placement of stars on the shoulder insignia of junior and senior officers in the officer corps is regulated by law. The distance between the attributes, as well as the distance of the stars in relation to the clearance, has a strict millimeter.

Senior officers

The highest officer ranks include three general ranks: major general, lieutenant general, and colonel general. The stars embroidered on the fabric relief surface are 22 mm in diameter and are located in the middle of the shoulder strap, lengthwise. The number of stars on the shoulder straps: one, two and three - corresponding to the general ranks, listed in order.

Next comes the General of the Army - the diameter of the star is 40 mm, along with it is the lapel emblem of the Ground Forces (star in a wreath). The highest active rank is marshal. Shoulder insignia includes an embroidered forty-millimeter star with piping and the coat of arms of the Russian Federation (without the accepted heraldic shield).

The only marshal in modern Russian history is Igor Sergeev, who was awarded this title in 1997. The real Minister of Defense S. Shoigu holds the rank of army general.

Military and ship ranks: order of correlation

In the Navy, some ranks have different names.

Correspondence tables

The only difference in the names of the ranks of the junior officer corps is the rank of captain; in the navy it is called captain-lieutenant.

Assignment of ranks and corresponding positions in the army

Military ranks are assigned to persons of conscript or contract service in the Armed Forces (AF) and the Navy (Navy), in the Civil Defense Forces (EMERCOM), in the National Guard (former troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), in the Federal Services (FSB, FSO), etc. .

Higher officers (generals) receive ranks in the RF Army by order of the RF Ministry of Defense. The assignment of the next (extraordinary) rank to senior officers is carried out by the command of the Military District in which the officer is serving. The rank of warrant officer is awarded upon completion of the Warrant Officer School.

A senior warrant officer can be obtained by order of the commander of a formation (division, corps, etc.). Receipt is not officer ranks is under the authority of the unit commander in the active forces where the soldier serves. An ordinary soldier (sailor) receives corporal braid (or a senior sailor's stripes) for strict execution of orders, adherence to discipline, and absence of penalties.

You can join the senior ranks 4–5 months after the start of military service in the Armed Forces after a short training period. Junior sergeants and sergeants occupy the positions of squad commanders. The senior sergeant is the platoon commander. The sergeant major in the army and the chief sergeant major in the navy are platoon commanders.

The sequence of assignment of officer ranks in the army has its own characteristics. The rank of junior lieutenant is awarded to young people who have graduated from a higher educational institution with a military department after undergoing short-term military training.

Graduates of higher military schools come to military units as lieutenants. Two years later they receive the title of senior leader. Both ranks correspond to the position of platoon commander. A starley may be a company lock, or in the Navy a ship's mate. The rank of captain is awarded three years after the senior leader if there is a corresponding position of company commander (deputy captain of the ship).

Major or captri (captain of the 3rd rank) are senior officers, who in the first case are the deputy battalion commander (deputy battalion commander), chief of service. In the second - the commander of a small warship. In practice, a major can be a battalion commander or chief of staff of a battalion.

A captain in the navy or a lieutenant colonel in the Ground Forces and Aerospace Forces are the commander of the ship and the commander of the battalion (deputy regiment commander), respectively. Colonel of the Armed Forces (kapraz) is a rank that is awarded after receiving additional education - the Military Academy.

Military personnel of this rank occupy the positions of regimental commander, deputy. brigade commander, brigade commander (brigade commander), deputy. division commander (division commander). The procedure for assigning general and admiral ranks corresponds to the positions held.

The army general commands a military district and may be a deputy. Minister or Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Results

In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, a strict hierarchy of ranks and positions is legally established. Officers and non-officers receive ranks and positions in ascending order, in accordance with the education received and length of service.

Ranks in the military are designed to delineate responsibilities among employees. The higher the rank, the greater the responsibility lies with the soldier. Shoulder straps perform an identification function, as they allow you to find out what position and rank a person holds.

Military ranks in the Russian army can be military and naval. Military ranks are assigned to those who serve in the following structures:

Armed forces of the Russian Federation.
Ministry of Civil Defense, Emergency Situations and Disaster Relief (EMERCOM of Russia).
Foreign intelligence.
Internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Federal Security Service (FSB).
Other troops and military formations.

Ship ranks are assigned to the following categories:

Surface and submarine forces of the Navy.
Coast Guard Border Service of the FSB of Russia.
Naval military units of the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Ranks among different troops may differ in their meaning and external characteristics. This is due to the fact that each army has its own characteristics.

Non-officer

Privates and sailors are the initial ranks in the Russian army

Since military ranks in the Russian Army are divided into military and naval, they have different names. Military ranks of non-officers are arranged in order. The hierarchy of ship and military ranks is presented in the table below.

Officers

The higher the rank, the greater responsibility lies with the soldier

Officers in the Russian army are divided into junior, senior and senior. The hierarchy of officer ranks will be presented in the table below.

Military ranks	Ship ranks
Junior officers
1. Junior lieutenant. 2. Lieutenant. 3. Senior lieutenant. 4. Captain.		1. Junior lieutenant. 2. Lieutenant. 3. Senior lieutenant. 4. Lieutenant Captain.
Senior officers
1. Major. 2. Lieutenant Colonel. 3. Colonel.			1. Captain of the third rank. 2. Captain of the second rank. 3. Captain of the first rank.
Senior officers
1. Major General. 2. Lieutenant General. 3. Colonel General. 4. Army General. 5. Marshal of the Russian Federation.			1. Rear Admiral. 2. Vice Admiral. 3. Admiral. 4. Admiral of the fleet.

Among the ship ranks there is no similar rank to Marshal of the Russian Federation. The number of ship ranks is one less.

If a serviceman is in the reserve or retired, then the words “reserve” or “retired” are added to his rank.

Shoulder straps and insignia

Shoulder straps and insignia applied to them help to distinguish ranks from each other. Sleeve insignia exist only for ship ranks. Depending on the rank occupied, shoulder straps differ from each other.

Non-officer

On the cadet's shoulder straps there is the letter “K”

Non-officer shoulder straps look like this:

Sailors and soldiers. There are no insignia, the shoulder straps are clean.
Chiefs and sergeants. On their shoulder straps there are signs that look like fabric braids (straps).
Midshipmen and warrant officers. There are small stars on the shoulder straps, they are placed vertically. The shoulder straps resemble those of an officer, but there are no gaps (stripes) on them.

Privates and sailors are the lowest rank in the Russian army. These ranks are considered higher only in comparison with cadets, since privates and sailors are allowed to perform practical tasks. Cadet shoulder straps are distinguished by the letter “K”.

The rank of cadet is awarded to students in specialized military institutions of higher education. If training takes place in secondary education programs, the rank of cadet is awarded. In this case, there are two letters “K” on the shoulder straps.

Officers

Shoulder straps of a lieutenant general of the Russian army

The officer corps begins immediately after the warrant officers, which is why their shoulder straps are visually similar. More follow high ranks, their shoulder straps have characteristic differences. There is the following hierarchy:

Junior officers. They have one stripe, as well as small metal stars. Their size is 13 mm.
Senior officers. They have two stripes and large stars. Their size is 20 mm.
Senior officers. The sewn stars are located vertically, their size is 22mm. There are no stripes.
General of the Navy and General of the Army. On the shoulder straps there is one sewn star, the size of which is 40 mm.
Marshal of the Russian Federation. Highest military rank. On the shoulder straps there is one large star (40 mm in size), silver rays diverge radially from it, forming a pentagon. The star has a double color scheme - silver and gold. The coat of arms of Russia is also located.

For those who find it difficult to remember descriptions of military ranks, it is recommended to study them visually in the photo. Those who are about to serve in the army are advised to familiarize themselves with all military ranks in advance, since many conscripts have problems remembering all military ranks. This will make future service much easier.

The ranks of “chief petty officer” and “sergeant major” are not currently awarded. Only those who received them before 2012 have them.

How to get a rank in the army?

An extraordinary rank is awarded if a serviceman has accomplished any feat or was able to distinguish himself

The first rank assigned to a conscript is private. A private is a simple soldier who does not have any distinctions. The rank of private is written on the military ID at the assembly point where military service begins.

The title can be sequential or extraordinary. The next rank is characterized by the fact that it is awarded after a certain period of service. A sailor or soldier can only receive rank after 5 months of service. Before this time, it is impossible to assign a title, even if the employee was able to distinguish himself in a positive way.

An extraordinary rank is awarded if the employee successfully copes with his official duties, has accomplished some feat, or has been able to distinguish himself. Organizational skills and accomplished actions will help you get an extraordinary military rank.

In order to receive the first rank in the army after private, several conditions must be met:

To obtain the rank of sergeant, you must have experience in conscription service, complete secondary education, no criminal record and good health.
It is necessary to have leadership qualities and be fully aware of the level of responsibility assigned.
It is necessary to undergo special training in the educational unit.
In rare cases, it is possible to receive a title ahead of schedule; it is awarded as a reward for certain merits.

Advice! If a serviceman in the army intends to connect his future life with service in any structure, he must inform his company commander about this, since having the rank of sergeant will be useful in the future. In this case, the title can be awarded if the employee meets all the requirements and adequately copes with all the duties assigned to him.

To increase military rank, certain grounds are required. They can be the signing of a contract by a serviceman, conscription on a summons, and graduation from a specialized military educational institution. If none of the above happens, then the rank promotion occurs in the next order. The stipulated period of holding a certain rank can also act as a basis for its promotion.

Senior officers our country is represented by generals who also have their own internal military gradation:

Military ranks and shoulder straps in the Russian naval forces

The obligations and status in the naval forces are similar to those used in the land forces, but the designations for sailors are different.

Junior ranks:

The gradation of ranks in the naval forces is as follows (starting with junior officer ranks):

Average officer naval ranks are divided as follows:

The composition of the highest category is characterized by the following titles:

In any case, a soldier must pass the test of time before he can perform the duties of the highest ranks.

On June 1, 1998, by order of the Commander of the Railway Troops of the Russian Federation 171, the Veteran of the Railway Troops badge was established. This sign became the first official symbol, marking the beginning of the development of a strict departmental heraldic system in the Federal Service of the Railway Troops of the Russian Federation. A year earlier, in preparation for the 150th anniversary of military railway workers coming in 2001, the FSGV command decided to begin a comprehensive

They do not emit a warlike roar, they do not sparkle with a polished surface, they are not decorated with embossed coats of arms and plumes, and quite often they are generally hidden under jackets. However, today, without this armor, unsightly in appearance, it is simply unthinkable to send soldiers into battle or ensure the safety of VIPs. Body armor is clothing that prevents bullets from penetrating the body and, therefore, protects a person from shots. It is made from materials that dissipate

In modern combat conditions, a soldier is exposed to various risks, due to which he may lose the opportunity to continue combat work, be injured or die. As a result, a fighter needs protective equipment that can reduce or completely eliminate existing risks. Over the decades, various protective equipment have been created to improve the safety of soldiers. In recent years, proposals have also appeared to create full-fledged protective systems. In our country this is the direction

As you know, every element of the uniform of the military and security forces either has a practical purpose or exists as a kind of symbol, and shoulder straps are no exception. Shoulder straps, like all other elements of a military uniform, contain a rich history. However, there is a very popular misconception that shoulder straps as an element of a military uniform are descendants of knightly armor, namely special shoulder plates made of metal that protect the shoulders

Shoulder straps are special shoulder insignia that are necessary to distinguish military ranks and positions. They are used by the Armed Forces, Police and other paramilitary forces. That is why many are interested in this question: How to sew an epaulette on a jacket It would seem that this is very simple to do, but in fact this is not entirely true. History of shoulder straps For the first time, shoulder straps were introduced by Peter I around 1683-1699. They used to help

There are several ways to attach shoulder straps to a shirt. Simple methods There are several such options for a match, for a pin, for an edging, for a paper clip. Attaching with a paperclip. In order to understand how to attach shoulder straps to a shirt using this method, you need to follow the following steps step by step. First of all, the insignia itself and the shirt must be carefully ironed. This action is performed so that they lie better on the shirt. At

A serviceman's shoulder straps are his unique calling card, that is, one glance at the shoulder insignia is enough to understand what rank the soldier has. The stars on the shoulder straps provide enough information about which officer corps the serviceman belongs to. However, the shoulder straps and stars did not immediately acquire their modern look. In pre-revolutionary times, they were interspersed with additional stripes called stripes. Only later did the stars on shoulder straps become

Since May 23, 1994, in connection with the decree of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Federation, wearing insignia left over from the Soviet army was considered illegal. From that moment on, Russia began to form its own system of national symbols in relation to insignia in the RF Armed Forces. History of the appearance of insignia Starting from the 16th-17th centuries, in the Streltsy troops, the commander differed from the ordinary in the cut of his uniform, a different type of weapon and a cane along which

False shoulder straps, a derivative of false shoulder straps, are analogous to the shoulder straps on which stars are sewn. They differ from standard ones in that they are used in the field, since during military exercises or in a real combat situation it is necessary to act quickly and swiftly, and during such actions the stars may simply fall off the shoulder straps. Despite the fact that every military man has spare stars, no one needs extra losses. Besides

Each branch and type of troops has its own attributes. In addition to the battle flag and chevrons, the concept of distinctive signs includes shoulder straps. It is by this accessory that one can determine not only the rank of a serviceman, but also his affiliation with one or another army. However, it is very difficult for an unprepared person to do this. Today we will try to understand the colors and letter designations on the shoulder straps of military personnel and cadets of the Russian army, as well as law enforcement agencies. Shoulder straps

We will have to start the story about the introduction of insignia in the Soviet army with some general questions. In addition, a short excursion into the history of the Russian state will be useful so as not to formulate empty references to the past. The shoulder straps themselves represent a kind of product that is worn on the shoulders to indicate a position or rank, as well as the type of military service and service affiliation. This is done in several ways: attaching strips, sprockets, making gaps, chevrons.

As in any structure, there is a certain hierarchy in the Russian army. In this case, the pyramid represents military positions and their corresponding army ranks. At the same time, shoulder straps are provided as distinctive signs on the uniform of military personnel. Today we’ll talk about what military ranks are present in the Russian army, what are their main differences, how the stars are located on the shoulder straps and how many years to serve before becoming a colonel. Types, classification of ranks

Military rank in the modern army is a complex hierarchical relationship between military personnel, enshrined in law and military regulations. A certain rank must be assigned to absolutely any military serviceman, regardless of his education, type of activity or length of service. Even a young man who was drafted into the ranks of the RF Armed Forces is listed as a private. This gradation makes it possible to distribute the rights and responsibilities of the entire contingent to ensure controllability in the case of real

The modern Russian army has a complex hierarchical structure based on the subordination of lower levels to higher ones. Unconditional submission within the limits of the military regulations is defined by law, and violation of the order is punishable by a military court. In order to effectively carry out management activities, the hierarchical system is implemented by assigning each military personnel a certain military rank. Already at the very beginning of his conscription service, the young man receives the rank of private. Highest rank other than Supreme

The shoulder straps of the Tsarist army of 1914 are rarely mentioned in feature films and history books. Meanwhile, this is an interesting object of study in the imperial age, during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II, uniforms were an object of art. Before the outbreak of the First World War, the distinctive insignia of the Russian Army was significantly different from those used now. They were brighter and contained more information, but at the same time they did not have the functionality and were easily noticeable as in the field

Shoulder straps are part of a serviceman's clothing, and the arrangement of stars on the shoulder straps is considered to be a sign of rank distinction between colleagues. However, it is very important to know at what distance the stars should be on this part of the uniform, since punctuality, discipline and strict adherence to instructions play a huge role in the army. A soldier's appearance must always be impeccable. The placement of stars on shoulder straps according to certain regulations also contributes to

In the course of their activities, military personnel have the opportunity to demonstrate heroism, professional knowledge, valor, and courage. The experience and skills of those who have given a huge part of their lives to military service are especially valued. As a sign of gratitude and respect, various medals are established by the Ministry of Defense or public organizations. On Defender of the Fatherland Day, upon the recommendation of the unit command, a current or former serviceman may receive a medal as a veteran of the Russian Armed Forces as a reward.

In 2002, the Union of Paratroopers association was born in Russia. It unites not only military personnel of the Airborne Forces, it is, most likely, the camaraderie and brotherhood of those who valiantly defended the interests of the Motherland on its territory and abroad. We can say that veterans of the elite airborne forces, marines, and special forces form the backbone of the presented organization. They consider the purpose of their activities to be assistance in protecting the rights of military personnel, especially those who were wounded during

Many people ignorant of military affairs may wonder what kind of troops the Russian army has. The answer here is very simple: Russian units include elite troops, ground units, navy, aviation. Each part performs its own function. For large units, navy, air force, ground forces, there are support departments such as air defense, artillery. Many parts are intertwined. The regiments began to develop into their modern form after the collapse of the Russian Empire.

The military uniform of the armed forces of the Russian Federation has always been distinguished by certain features. They are divided by color and purpose. Military uniforms can be intended for daily use, for field activities and for festive occasions. All these types of clothing are also divided into summer and winter options. The Ministry of Defense has carefully studied this issue, detailing orders on this aspect of the life of military personnel. The matter concerned

Relationships in the army must be strictly regulated. This requirement arises from at least two considerations. The first is that the personnel is a quasi-group, organized according to some common characteristics. Psychologists say that if such a group is left to its own devices, conflicts in relationships will soon arise. The second statement is more significant. The army must not only be numerous, but also functional and controllable.

For any state, the armed forces are the guarantor of its security and inviolability of territorial borders. In Russia, the army organizes its activities on the basis of certain regulatory documents, these are Federal laws, Government Decrees, Presidential Decrees, as well as local resolutions of executive authorities in the regions. Thanks to a unified legal system, it is possible to effectively manage a contingent of thousands, distributing common tasks and quickly resolving security issues.

As long as the soldier has not retired to the reserve and remains on the list of unit personnel, he is guided by the general military regulations. Certain standards have also been developed for a serviceman in the event of his temporary stay outside the unit. But, as we know, the lack of control necessarily leads to violation of all rules, and the volume of these violations grows like an avalanche. Therefore, in any garrison, as a mandatory event, the organization of patrols is provided, which is carried out in places

Many articles, even from legally savvy specialists, are devoted to in various ways avoid military service. It is gratifying that the proportion of conscripts who are ready to cross the line of the law is quite small. Most guys not only realize the need to fulfill their civic duty, but also consider it their duty to spend a year in the army as a real soldier, who would be an excellent student in combat training, selflessly serve the Motherland, be in good standing with the officers and become the pride of his

To achieve maximum efficiency in the military activities of the army, it is necessary to develop a set of rules that would cover all areas, allowing each soldier to determine his rights and powers in each specific situation. This understanding was reached even under Peter I; it is not for nothing that he is considered the founder of the introduction of military regulations. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that the history of military regulations in tsarist Russia goes back to the 16th century, when, by order of Ivan the Terrible, the Boyar verdict was adopted

Many conscripts want to go through the school of life, realizing that this is simply necessary. Recently, the popularity of military craft has increased significantly. Reforms in the army have significantly affected the comfort of serving. Despite this, almost all parts honor the customs and traditions inherited from older generations. This is especially true when completing a service. The end of any school is associated with certain experiences, and the end of the school of life is the moment to which a guy

For military service at all times, there was a certain set of laws aimed at increasing efficiency in combat operations, guard duty, as well as order in interpersonal relationships. This set of laws is combined into a charter, which is the main legislative document for a soldier. But since all issues of military service cannot be concentrated in a common document, there is a division of regulations by type. In particular, in the modern army there are two of them:

The army, to one degree or another, affects every citizen, so, willy-nilly, people are aware of it. But the army is too general and abstract a concept, including tanks and foot wraps, nuclear weapons and stars on shoulder straps, and much more. In order to organize troops by type, establish a certain hierarchy and divide the territory of the state into controlled areas, there is a special term - the organizational structure of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. With his help we are today

There can be no regimes in matters of state security. Sovereignty and integrity must remain at the highest level every minute all year round. To ensure reliable protection, the state is obliged to maintain a powerful army, ready at any moment to repel an attack from an external enemy. Military activity is a complex process that does not stop day or night. Even when the personnel seem to be resting, there are duty officers, guards, patrol officers,

The army is perhaps the largest institution that is considered to be regularly functioning. If we add to the contingent currently in service all those liable for military service, including those in the reserves, then more than half of all Russian citizens will be covered. Naturally, the armed forces will reach such numbers only in as a last resort, when military aggression from another state is inevitable, but even with the existing military personnel, of whom there are hundreds of thousands, it is necessary to centrally

In Russian legislation, a number of documents establish the need to provide military personnel. In general, this concept is quite flexible, since it is necessary to take into account all the rights of a citizen serving in military service in order to list all the components of allowance. Therefore, provision is divided into several categories: monetary allowance, clothing provision, medical care, food housing provision. For each category

In 2014, the Russian army soldier’s combat equipment was replenished with a new accessory. An item with a complex foreign name, a travel bag, entered the army standard along with new equipment. From the handbag to the travel bag Travel bag translated from French means necessary. This is what in the West they call a small travel case that has several compartments for storing toiletries. The thing is very convenient and necessary, especially in hiking conditions. Story

Considering all the stages of the creation of the Russian armed forces, it is necessary to dive deeply into history, and although during the time of the principalities there is no talk of the Russian empire, and even less of a regular army, the emergence of such a concept as defense capability begins precisely from this era. In the 13th century, Rus' was represented by separate principalities. Although their military squads were armed with swords, axes, spears, sabers and bows, they could not serve as reliable protection against outside attacks. United Army

In June 2017, funds mass media Information has been received about replacing the old red star emblem of the Russian Armed Forces with a new red-blue-white star. The news alarmed many public figures, prompting them to react violently to it. The new symbol was released by a subordinate design bureau, which named it the Russian Army. According to the creators, the new star will enhance the image of the Russian army and give it more masculinity. The origins of the symbol of the Russian army

Military clothing is the key to the high combat effectiveness of military forces. In Russia, the military uniform meets all the necessary requirements; it is comfortable, reliable and performs its main functions. A new military uniform in our country was released in 2015. Now every soldier of the military forces is equipped with it. Along with the new clothes, new rules for wearing them were issued, which must be followed by a soldier of any rank. Military uniforms are divided into three main types. Dress uniforms are used.

Military uniforms - field, everyday and ceremonial uniforms - are always regulated by the relevant decrees of the Ministry of Defense. However, there are special forces formations in the law enforcement agencies of ministries and departments not related to the Russian Armed Forces, which perform specific tasks, for which they use a very wide range of military and universal uniforms. Special forces uniforms Classification of special forces units Existing units

Traditional disclaimer. This article in no way claims to be complete or the ultimate truth. The topic of Russian equipment in the nineties is huge and complex, and my modest work is just a superficial educational program, an introduction to the topic. The USSR approached its collapse with very primitive equipment, which looked poor even against the backdrop of the then simple equipment of the NATO armies. However, in the nineties, despite the severe economic crisis and lack of money, progress in the field of military equipment,

Shoulder straps are external shoulder insignia in various law enforcement agencies; they can be used to determine membership in a particular department, as well as the type and branch of the military. A serviceman's rank is determined by the size, number and location of stars on his shoulder straps. It is very important to know how to correctly attach stars to shoulder straps because, according to the order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, all parameters for the location of stars for military personnel of the Russian Army and the Order of the Minister of Internal Affairs

The unloading vest, of course, is far from the only type of combat equipment, but today the situation has developed that a fighter, when purchasing equipment, chooses either a combat breastplate or a unloading vest. Apart from Russia, where the RZh unloading vest is part of the standard equipment of an infantryman, vests are used in many armies around the world.
