Who is older, midshipman or lieutenant. Naval ranks and their classification

Sailors are always respected and serious people for whom work comes first. But at the same time, they all have families who are faithfully waiting for them and loving them. The profession of a naval sailor is not only responsible and serious, but also interesting. Members of the Navy can see a lot during their career. Although there is also a risk to life.

What are the military ranks in the Navy?

Let's start with the fact that in the Russian Navy, military ranks are divided into two categories: military and naval. The first ones have categories:

1. The ladder begins with soldiers and foremen, who, in turn, are divided into soldier, corporal and foreman.
2. Next come the warrant officers. This rank is divided into warrant officer and senior warrant officer.
3. Officers. Here the subcategories are:

• junior officers: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain;
• senior: major, lieutenant colonel, colonel;
• highest: major general, lieutenant general, colonel general, army general and marshal of the Russian Federation.

Ship ranks have slightly different names:

1. Soldiers, sergeants, sailors. Here the ranks are in ascending order: sailor, senior sailor, foreman of the 2nd article, 1st article, chief, chief ship officer, foreman.
2. Midshipmen: midshipman, senior midshipman.
3. Junior officers: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, lieutenant commander.
4. Senior officers: captain 3rd rank, 2nd rank, 1st rank.
5. Higher officers: rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, fleet admiral, marshal of Russia.

The uniform of military personnel in the Navy does not always include shoulder straps on which ranks are determined. Often, military sailors have stripes on their sleeves that identify their position and rank.

More information about the procedure for assigning titles

Like the Army, the Navy assigns a member's rank on the day his or her military rank expires. The legislation establishes the following deadlines:

• to become a private or a sailor, you must serve for 5 months;
• a year is required to serve in order to become a junior sergeant or sergeant major of the 2nd article;
• You must serve three years to receive the ranks of senior sergeant and chief sergeant;
• the same number of years is allotted to become an ensign or midshipman;
• You must serve two years to become a junior lieutenant;
• three to lieutenant;
• three more to first lieutenant;
• 4 years to captain and lieutenant commander;
• 4 – up to major and captain of the 3rd rank;
• It takes 5 years to become a lieutenant colonel or captain of the 2nd rank.

To receive the rank of senior officer, you must serve in your previous position for at least 1 year. As a rule, naval soldiers receive their next military rank 2 years after receiving the previous rank. The deadline includes:

1. The break time (if any) due to the military being brought to criminal liability for unjustified reasons, as well as in the case of illegal dismissal with subsequent reinstatement.
2. Time to stop military activities.
3. Number of years spent in reserve.

Note that for special achievements, a naval soldier can receive another military rank ahead of schedule.

What are the responsibilities of the Navy?

Like any other troops, the Navy works for the good of the country. The main functions of the naval personnel are:

• the use of military force in the event of a threat to the country from the sea. The Navy is also obliged to contain and suppress possible threats to Russia;
• protect the sovereignty of your country by any means;
• creating conditions to ensure the security of the state;
• by order of the commander-in-chief, participate in various operations.

If we talk specifically about departments, then each of them has its own responsibilities. For example, naval aviation is engaged in missile and bomb strikes, and also provides cover. Coastal units defend the coast and lead ground fighting, protecting the sea border.

How to get into the Navy

Many young guys dream of working for the good of their Motherland, namely, protecting it. In order to become a member of the Navy, you must meet all categories. To be more precise, to become an employee you need:

1. Have a complete secondary education. But it is preferable, of course, to graduate from a maritime school.
2. Be at least 165 cm tall, and also have at least the second group of mental stability.
3. Have a fitness category of at least A-2 (although you cannot get into the military infantry with such indicators).

Conscripts who are tall and good-looking are often taken into the honor guard company. However, the average special education in this case it won't hurt either.

The list of military ranks is established by the Law of the Russian Federation “On Military Duty and Military Service”. They are divided into military and naval (sea).

Naval ranks are assigned to military personnel of the submarine and surface forces of the Navy. Military applies to ground, space and airborne forces.

These include:

• Coastal troops. They protect strategic areas of the coastal zone. Military bases Russian Federation equipped with missile systems and artillery. They have torpedo, anti-aircraft and mine weapons.
• Naval aviation protects its ships from air attack. It organizes reconnaissance, search and rescue operations, transportation and landing of detachments. Its formations are based in the Black Sea, Pacific, Northern and Baltic fleets.
• Marines was created in 1992. It is designed to protect naval bases, defend important objects coast, participate in combat operations.

Each department has its own responsibilities, but they have the same basic functions:

• protection of the country's sovereignty;
• ensuring public safety;
• use of force in case of detection of a threat from the sea side;
• obedience to the orders of the commander in chief.

Junior ranks in the navy

During the first months of service in the Russian Navy, soldiers are called sailors. Until 1946, they were called “Red Navy men.” This rank is equivalent to private in ground forces.

To the best sailors for excellent performance of official duties and observance of discipline is assigned to the senior sailor. They can replace squad commanders during their absence. The corresponding military rank is corporal.

The squad leader is a foreman of the first or second class. These titles began to be used in 1940. In the ground forces they are equivalent to sergeant and junior sergeant.

The deputy platoon commander is called the chief sergeant major. Among army servicemen, he corresponds to a senior sergeant. The rank above him is the chief petty officer.

Midshipman - this military rank is assigned to persons who remain in service in the ranks of the Navy after the expiration of the established period. They are trained in schools or courses. Senior midshipman is a rank higher. The ranks are equivalent to military warrant officer and senior warrant officer.

Naval officers

The first rank of junior officers in the navy is junior lieutenant. Upon completion of their period of service and successful completion of certification, they are transferred to lieutenants.

The next level is senior lieutenant. The rank corresponds to cavalry captain, infantry captain or esaul Cossack troops. The highest rank of junior officers is captain-lieutenant.

A captain of the 3rd rank is sometimes called a "captri". Equivalent to a major of the ground forces. Abbreviated name of captain 2nd rank -"kavtorang" or "kapdva". Corresponds to a lieutenant colonel in the armed forces. A captain of the 1st rank or “kapraz” is equivalent to the rank of colonel, and can command ships.

Rear admiral is the first admiral rank established on May 7, 1940. He serves as deputy fleet commander. A similar rank in the aviation and ground forces is major general. Above are the vice admiral and the admiral. Similar to them are army servicemen, lieutenant general and colonel general.

The post of Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is occupied by the Admiral of the Fleet. This is the highest active naval rank in the Russian Federation.

Insignia

Shoulder straps of sailors without insignia. Senior sailors have one galloon - a transverse strip. The foreman of the second article has two yellow fabric braids, the first article has three. The shoulder straps of the chief petty officer have one wide stripe. The chief petty officer has one longitudinal braid.

Midshipmen's shoulder straps are marked with small stars, which are located vertically. The midshipman has two stars, the senior midshipman has three.

Junior officers wear a vertical yellow stripe on their shoulder straps - a clearance. They have 13mm stars sewn on them. The junior lieutenant has one star in the clear, the lieutenant has two stars on both sides of the yellow stripe, the senior has one in the clear and two on the sides, the captain-lieutenant has two on the line and two on the sides.

The shoulder straps of senior officers have two parallel gaps and stars measuring 20 millimeters. The captain of the 3rd rank has one star between the yellow stripes, the second - one on each gap, the first - one between the lines and one on them.

Top-level officers wear shoulder straps with large stars and no gaps. A rear admiral has one star, a vice admiral has two, and an admiral has three. On the shoulder straps of the fleet admiral there is only one large star measuring 4 centimeters.

Sleeve insignia

On the sleeves of officers' uniforms there are yellow stripes and stars. Higher ranks have an embroidered anchor inside the star.

The number of stripes and width vary by rank:

• medium-sized stripe for a junior lieutenant;
• medium and narrow - for the lieutenant;
• two middle ones - for the senior lieutenant;
• one narrow and two medium ones - for the lieutenant commander;
• three medium ones - for the captain of the 3rd rank, four medium ones - for the second one, one wide - for the first one;
• medium and wide - for the rear admiral;
• two medium and wide - for the vice admiral;
• three medium and wide - for the admiral;
• four medium and one wide - for the fleet admiral.

The procedure for assigning the next rank to the Navy

The law establishes the following stages of increase:

• the minimum period of service to obtain the rank of sergeant major of the second article is one year;
• Three years of service allows you to become a chief petty officer;
• the same number of years is required to be a midshipman;
• in two years you can receive the rank of junior lieutenant, in three - lieutenant, and in another three - senior lieutenant;
• four years of further service give grounds to qualify for a captain-lieutenant, and the next four - for a captain of the 3rd rank;
• in five years you can become a captain of the 2nd rank.

For special achievements, it is possible to receive the next military rank early.

In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, two types of ranks have been established for persons undergoing military service - military and naval. IN ancient Rus' The presence of insignia and certain military units formed on a permanent basis was completely excluded. The division of the then still pitiful semblance of a standing army into separate formations took place in accordance with the number of soldiers who were in one or another formation. The principle was as follows: ten warriors - a unit called the “ten”, led by the “ten”. Then everything is in the same spirit.

The history of the emergence of military ranks in Russia

Under Ivan the Terrible, and later under Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, this system underwent some changes: Streltsy hundreds appeared, and military ranks appeared in them. At that time, the hierarchy of ranks was the following list:

• Sagittarius
• foreman
• Pentecostal
• centurion
• head

Of course, between all the above ranks and the ranks that currently exist, the following analogy can be drawn: a foreman is a warrior, in our time performing the duties of a sergeant, or a foreman, a pentecostal is a lieutenant, and a centurion, respectively, is a captain.

After some time, already during the reign of Peter the Great, the hierarchical system of ranks was again transformed to the following:

• soldier
• corporal
• ensign
• lieutenant, called lieutenant
• captain (captain)
• quartermaster
• major
• lieutenant colonel
• Colonel

The year 1654 became outstanding in the history of the formation of military ranks in Russia. It was then that for the first time in the history of Russia the rank of general was awarded. Its first owner was Alexander Ulyanovich Leslie, the leader of the operation to capture and liberate Smolensk.

Categories of military ranks in the Russian Army

One of the largest political events of the 20th century that occurred in Russia, namely the October Revolution of 1917, became the last stage towards the formation of an established system of military ranks, which has not undergone any changes for a whole century.

Military ranks

1. Private. One of the first, considered the lowest military rank of the Russian Armed Forces.
2. Corporal. A rank that is awarded to military personnel who are part of the armed forces of the Russian Federation for any military distinction.

1. Major.
2. Lieutenant colonel.
3. Colonel.

Ship ranks

Ship ranks can simply be listed in order of seniority (lowest to highest) due to their full correspondence with the land equivalent:

1. Sailor, senior sailor.
   
2. Foreman of the 2nd (second) article, foreman of the 1st (first) article, chief foreman, chief foreman - representatives of a group of military personnel classified as sergeants and foremen.
   
   
3. Midshipman, senior midshipman - military personnel of the group of warrant officers and midshipmen.
   
4. Junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain-lieutenant - a group of military personnel representing junior officers.
   
   
5. Captain 3 (third) rank, captain 2 (second) rank, captain 1 (first) rank - representatives of senior officers.
   
   
6. Rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral, and fleet admiral are representatives of senior officers, respectively.
   

As with military ranks, the highest military rank for the navy is Marshal of the Russian Federation.

What is very noteworthy is that naval and military military ranks are also assigned to the following formations: the security forces of the Russian Federation - the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc., as well as water border formations that ensure security near coastal borders.

Colors and types of shoulder straps

Now let's turn to the shoulder straps. With them, unlike titles, things are somewhat more complicated.

Shoulder straps are usually distinguished according to the following series of criteria:

• the color of the shoulder strap itself (different depending on the military structure);
• the order of arrangement of distinctive signs on shoulder straps (also depending on a particular military structure);
• the color of the decals themselves on the shoulder straps (similar to the points above).

There is another important criterion - the form of clothing. Accordingly, the army does not have the widest selection of clothing, which is allowed according to the regulations. More precisely, there are only three of them: everyday uniform, field uniform and dress uniform.

Shoulder straps of non-officers

Let's start with a description of the everyday uniform and the shoulder straps that come with it:

The everyday uniform of non-officers includes shoulder straps with two narrow stripes along the edges of the longitudinal part. Such shoulder straps can be seen on the shoulders of privates, non-commissioned officers, and warrant officers. All these images are presented above in the sections of military and ship ranks.

Officer's shoulder straps

Shoulder straps for the everyday uniform of officers are divided into three more subtypes:

• Shoulder straps for the everyday uniform of junior officers: have only one stripe running down the center along the shoulder strap itself.
• Shoulder straps for the everyday uniform of senior officers: they have two longitudinal stripes, also located in the center.
• Shoulder straps for the everyday uniform of senior officers: they differ sharply from each of the previous types in that they have a special fabric relief over the entire area of ​​the shoulder strap. The edges are framed by one narrow strip. A distinctive sign is also the stars that follow strictly in one row.
• It is impossible not to bear in separate group Marshal of the Russian Federation and the type of shoulder straps corresponding to his everyday uniform: they also have a special fabric relief, which was mentioned in the paragraph above, but they differ fundamentally in color. If the shoulder straps in each of the previous paragraphs were a rectangle of dark green color, then these same ones are distinguished by their immediately striking golden color, which is quite consistent with the high-profile title of their wearer.

An interesting fact is that on February 22, 2013, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed a decree that on the shoulder straps of army generals and admirals of the Russian Navy there will be one star with a diameter of 40 mm instead of 4 stars in one line as before. The corresponding image is presented above.

• Non-officer field uniform: shoulder straps are a regular rectangle, camouflaged as a summer taiga with a transverse (or longitudinal) stripe.
• Field uniform for junior officers: stars of relatively small size serve as a distinctive sign.
• Field uniform of senior officers: major, lieutenant colonel have one and two large stars on their shoulder straps, respectively, colonel - three.
• Field uniform of senior officers: all persons holding ranks in accordance with the previously announced composition have absolutely the same structure (dark green stars, strictly in a row), but shoulder straps different in the number of distinctive insignia. Just like in everyday uniforms, the General of the Army and the Marshal of the Russian Federation are distinguished by large stars

These features can be seen in more detail in the picture:

It was not long before military clothing became comfortable and practical. Initially, her beauty was valued more than the qualities mentioned a little earlier. Fortunately, when Alexandra III(third) came the understanding that rich uniforms are too expensive. It was then that practicality and convenience began to be considered the primary value.

In certain periods of time, the soldier's uniform resembled ordinary peasant attire. Even in the conditions of the already existing Red Army, little attention was paid to the fact that there was no uniform military uniform. The only distinctive sign of all soldiers was a red bandage on their sleeves and hats.

Even shoulder straps managed to be replaced for some time with ordinary triangles and squares, and only in 1943 were they returned as distinctive signs.

By the way, to this day, military personnel of the Russian Federation wear a uniform that was designed by the well-known fashion designer V. Yudashkin in 2010.

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 army service cannot be concentrated in general document, then there is a division of charters by type. In particular, in the modern army there are two of them:

The word camouflage translated from French means camouflage - it is a spotted or pixelated camouflage coloring used to reduce the visibility of people's clothing, equipment, weapons and other objects in the environment by blurring and breaking the silhouette of an object or person. Camouflage is intended and used for making it difficult for the enemy to recognize the outlines of a person or equipment on the ground when using visual, photo, or optoelectronic

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 weapon 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

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

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

In the Russian Federation, there are two types of military ranks for military personnel: military and naval. Ship military ranks are assigned to sailors of the surface and submarine forces of the Navy, the coast guard of the Border Service of the FSB of Russia. Military ranks are assigned to other military personnel serving in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the FSB of Russia, the SVR of Russia, the FSO Combat equipment for military personnel Ratnik is one of the largest modernization projects of the Russian army.

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.

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 without reason 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 all the way to the 16th century, when, by order of Ivan the Terrible, the Boyar verdict was adopted

Regardless of the number of draft dodgers, which is recorded annually after the completion of conscription campaigns, there have always been enough guys who would like to devote their lives to the army. There are usually two career trends here. The first is to remain in the army under a contract after military service. However, under such circumstances one cannot count on an officer rank. An alternative is to enroll in a higher military educational institution.

In Russian literature, there is a deeply erroneous opinion that shoulder straps as an element of a military uniform supposedly originate from mythical metal shoulder pads that protected a warrior’s shoulders from saber strikes. However it's simple beautiful legend, which does not have any serious justification. Shoulder straps, and one appeared on Russian military clothing only with the creation of a regular army by Tsar Peter I between 1683 and 1699 as a purely practical element of clothing.

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 A serviceman's shoulder straps are his unique, that is, one look at the shoulder insignia is enough to understand what rank a 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

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 There are several ways to attach shoulder straps to a shirt. Simple ways

The military uniform of the armed forces of the Russian Federation has always been distinguished by certain features. They are divided according to color scheme and according to 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

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 by the Ministry of Defense or

Black berets, black death The nicknames of these fighters look rather gloomy and unfriendly; indeed, when meeting such soldiers, the enemy will immediately no longer think about easy money. The Russian Marine Corps today is talking about these brave and courageous warriors. Let's look into history, find out what it's like to be a Marine and what an honor it is, and also touch on modern military events.

History of creation The Russian Marine Corps dates back more than three years.

Ship ranks, just like in the ground forces, are assigned according to the extent to which the serviceman has the ability and desire to take charge of the sector entrusted to him. All naval ranks differ significantly from similar land ranks. This is due to a number of events that occurred in the history of Russia.

The main changes occurred in 1917, in connection with revolutionary events.

In the period 1922-1991 during the existence of the Soviet fleet.

At the time of creation Sleeve insignia of the Russian Armed Forces, sometimes incorrectly referred to as chevrons, sleeve insignia are worn on the right sleeve of military uniforms and are intended to distinguish services, departments, organizations, institutions, associations, and formations by belonging to the armed forces formations. 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 service food housing provision.

For each category

Each element of a military uniform has a specific purpose and does not appear on it by chance, but under the influence of certain conditions, including historical ones. We can say that each element of the form carries both a historical load and a utilitarian purpose. There is a widespread misconception that shoulder straps as an element of a military uniform come from knightly armor, or rather metal shoulder plates that protected a warrior’s shoulders from saber strikes. This is a misconception from year to year, The time of multimillion-strong mass armies is coming to an end. Nowadays, the outcome of the battle is decided by relatively few professionals, and the level of training of the fighter and his equipment comes first. Despite the widespread use of electronics on the battlefield, its outcome, as before, is decided by people. The time when a fighter had an AK-47 at his disposal and was protected only by body armor of not the best quality and is not always gradually becoming history.

Almost everything

advanced armies 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. Turkish mountain riflemen, gendarmerie and rangers are working against the Kurds in unloading. Having a large selection of different

There can be no regimes in matters of state security. Sovereignty and integrity must remain at the highest level every minute of the year. 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,

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.

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 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 insignia of one or another professional and similar corporation on uniform corporate clothing to designate a wide variety of corporate characteristics and differences in ranks of personal military ranks and special class ranks, positions of belonging to a specific ministry, department, organization or service, including clan troops, branches of the armed forces, special forces, and the like.

We will have to start the story about the introduction of insignia in the Soviet army with some general issues. In addition, a short excursion into history will be useful. Russian state, 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.

The shoulder straps of the Tsarist army of 1914 are rarely mentioned in feature films and historical 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.

Shoulder straps and ranks in the Russian army were created in order to clearly delineate responsibilities between military personnel. The higher the status, the more responsibility is assigned to the soldier to whom the rank is assigned. Shoulder straps play an identifying role, that is, they create a visual image of a military man, namely what position he holds, as well as his military rank. Shoulder straps and ranks in the army play a very important role important role

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

The Russian Marine Corps has existed for more than 300 years. For the first time such references to such units refer to Northern War in 1705. Until 1917, they were called naval soldiers. To date, it is still an important part of the army, having its own distinctive signs and anthem.

A bit of history The first unit of the Navy was designed to carry out quick strikes from the sea during the war with Sweden. Initially it was a relatively small unit,

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. 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. To effectively implement 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.

Many articles, even from legally savvy specialists, are devoted to various ways to 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

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, and 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. TO modern look

regiments began to arrive after the collapse of the Russian Empire. 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 general tasks

and promptly resolving security issues.

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 a size only as a last resort, when military aggression from another state is inevitable, but even the existing military personnel, of whom there are hundreds of thousands, must be centralized 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 field conditions

Since the founding of this type of troops, the uniform of the Airborne Forces was no different from the clothing of the Red Army Air Force or special purpose air battalions. The set of clothing of a USSR intelligence soldier included a leather or blue-gray canvas helmet.

Moleskin overalls could be either leather or blue-gray canvas. The collar of the overalls was equipped with blue buttonholes, where insignia were sewn. Already in the forties, military uniforms

The uniform of the Russian Navy has a rather long history. Over the decades, it has undergone and is undergoing many changes and the emergence of new and different versions of it. In the article we will look at

a short history

shapes, its various options and principles of wearing. History of naval dress The history of the Navy uniform dates back to the time of Peter the Great. By order of the powerful manager-emperor in 1696, the Boyar Duma adopted In 2015, the Russian army will change its clothes. Some military personnel already have a new military uniform. According to the plan of the Russian Ministry of Defense, new uniforms were required to be provided to all military personnel by the end of 2014. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Dmitry Bulgakov. The need to redress the ranks of the Russian army has existed for a long time. Along with the new set of clothes, new rules for wearing military uniforms will be introduced.

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.

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, 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.

In June 2017, the media received information about the replacement of 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, new star will improve the image national army and will give him more masculinity.

Regardless of the number of draft dodgers, which is recorded annually after the completion of conscription campaigns, there have always been enough guys who would like to devote their lives to the army. There are usually two career trends here. The first is to remain in the army under a contract after military service. However, under such circumstances one cannot count on an officer rank. An alternative is to enroll in a higher military educational institution.

It should be recalled that service in some law enforcement agencies, which is equivalent to military service, is no less prestigious and desirable, but you can often get into such a structure after completing military service. Moreover, military everyday life in elite troops is the key to any employment.

In the dreams of young men, the navy occupies the same status as the airborne forces, special forces or MP. The dream can not only come true, but also lead to serious career growth if you fulfill a few not so difficult requirements.

• Having a secondary education is considered mandatory. A diploma from a naval school will greatly increase your chances of ending up in the Navy.
• Height restrictions are positioned at 165 centimeters. These are the maximum minimum indicators. When conducting a medical examination, a psychiatrist’s opinion on resistance to stress and the absence of pathologies will be required.
• The fitness category that members of the draft commission will put in their personal file cannot be lower than A2. That is, certain deviations are still allowed. In this regard, the severity is not the same as in the security forces.

The next step, which can bring a guy significantly closer to serving in the navy, is an application to the military registration and enlistment office. And yet the decisive moment will be the demand for young replenishment, which is determined already at the distribution point. As they say in army slang, everything depends on the availability of a buyer.

The importance of the navy in the defense of the country

Even having devoted an article to an issue covering ranks in the navy and military, one cannot do without mentioning the merits of this type of troops in the defense capability of the state. Considering the fact that the length maritime boundaries Russia is about 40 thousand kilometers away; only a reliable, powerful fleet can prevent a threat from the sea.

Depending on their bases, they distinguish between the Northern Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet, the Pacific Fleet, the Baltic Fleet and the Caspian Fleet. The sovereignty of a country is a guarantee of the security of every citizen. The Navy has a rather complex structure, it is represented by submarine and surface forces, naval aviation and the marine corps. Each unit has its own personal mission, military personnel wear distinctive uniforms, and there are also certain differences in ranks.

Military ranks in the Russian army

In the army there is a clear distribution of rights and responsibilities of all personnel. Moreover, a strict hierarchy is implemented through military ranks. All these ranks can be divided into two types: military and naval. Moreover, military ranks are not necessarily assigned only to the ground forces. On the other hand, ship ranks are not only for those who serve on the ship.

The two types of titles only differ in pronunciation, but the general structure of the hierarchy is the same. Thus, we can distinguish between non-officers and officers. Each military rank will correspond to a specific ship rank. Shoulder straps allow military personnel to maintain subordination.

Naval ranks in ascending order

For greater clarity, it is necessary not only to list all the ship ranks, but also to draw an analogy with the military ones, since it is the latter that are studied in sufficient detail in the life safety course of the section of initial military training. It becomes clear why confusion arises among the younger generation precisely when trying to arrange hierarchical ranks in ascending order in the Navy, because no time is allocated at all for naval ranks with their shoulder straps at school.

The most junior rank a sailor receives upon enlistment is seaman. Since 1946, this rank was renamed from the previously existing “red naval officer”, which still corresponds to private in the ground forces. On the sailor’s shoulder strap there is only the letter “F”, corresponding to the navy.

For excellent achievements in military service, a sailor can be promoted to senior sailor. They are on the same level as corporals and can be appointed to the position of squad commander. The senior sailor's shoulder strap contains one metal strip or golden-colored fabric strip.

Increasing rank in the navy implies being awarded the rank of “sergeant major 2nd article.” The sergeant staff begins with it, and in military titles it is positioned as junior sergeant. The two stripes on the chase are absolutely similar to the corresponding land rank. The only difference is the color.

Petty officer 1st article in the Navy is equal to sergeant. In the navy, as in any ground forces, the rank of sergeant is assigned only to a few of the entire conscript personnel. The candidate must have high moral principles, organizational skills, be theoretically savvy, be an excellent student of physical and combat training. The sergeant major of the first article has three stripes on his shoulder strap.

The limit to which one can rise when called up is the chief petty officer. It is this rank that comes in order of seniority, and not senior rank 3, as some people mistakenly think. The last title, by the way, is fictitious.

The chief naval sergeant closes the category of sergeants and petty officers. His shoulder straps are marked by one wide and one narrow stripe. With this rank you can hold the position of platoon commander. Ship ranks are found in the border service troops, which also belong to the Russian Navy.

Until now, the ship ranks considered were at least in some way consonant with the land ranks. A purely naval term - midshipman - means a rank that is assigned to a serviceman after graduating from the appropriate school. On land, similar provisions apply to warrant officers. The midshipman and senior midshipman on their shoulder straps have two or three stars, respectively, located lengthwise.

Officer ranks begin with lieutenant. At this level of ranking there are no differences, even the shoulder straps are the same. Along the shoulder strap there is a golden stripe, which designates a group of junior officers. A junior lieutenant has one star, a lieutenant has two, and a senior lieutenant has three. Three stars are arranged in a triangle, two across the shoulder strap and one along.

The naval rank that crowns the group of ranks of junior officers, in contrast to the combined arms rank of “captain,” is listed as lieutenant commander. Two stars across the shoulder strap and two along it give the right to receive the position of commander of a warship. The rank of lieutenant commander is awarded to a senior lieutenant only after 4 years of service.

Senior officer ranks begin with captain 3rd rank. Logically, it is clear that it corresponds to the rank of major. In sailor slang, the title sounds like “captri”. Accordingly, next comes “kapdva” or “kaptorang”, as well as “kapraz” or “kaperang”. The origin of these abbreviations is quite clear. The shoulder straps resemble those of a lieutenant in the number and arrangement of stars, only the status of a senior officer is emphasized by two stripes running lengthwise.

It should be noted that not only in Russia, but also in a number of other countries, the ranks of the navy are defined in a similar way. The highest officer rank begins with rear admiral. We can say that a vice admiral is the third most senior person in the fleet. Next come ranks such as admiral and fleet admiral.

Now let's move on to military ranks. They are presented in ascending order by the sequence: major general, lieutenant general, colonel general and army general. Their shoulder straps do not contain stripes, but the stars denoting gradation are larger in size than those of senior officers. It is noteworthy that the number of ranks from sailor to fleet admiral is the same as from private to army general. It is necessary to harmonize military and naval ranks for two reasons: they are all subordinate to the marshal; in operations in which several types of troops participate simultaneously, for effective interaction, a chain of command must be clearly established.
