Naval civilian ranks. Ranks in the navy: from sailor to admiral in ascending order

The main changes have occurred:

All modern naval ranks can be divided into 4 general categories: conscripts, junior officers, senior officers, senior officer ranks.

Marine shoulder straps were introduced in 1802. At this time there appeared shoulder straps on the shoulders of sailors of the Baltic and Black Sea fleets.

In 1917 shoulder straps were abolished when the Soviet government abandoned the old imperial system. They were replaced by sleeve patches. The sailors faced a long struggle for the right to wear shoulder straps on their shoulders, but in 1943 shoulder straps Navy uniforms of personnel of these types of troops began to be decorated again.

Now shoulder straps all military personnel of the navy have black color. The difference in ship ranks is in the location and number of distinctive signs on them.

Conscripts

In Soviet times, service in the navy was 3 years, so many conscripts tried to avoid such long service. They hid from conscription just to avoid joining the navy. Currently in Navy are called up to serve for 1 year, the same as in the ground forces.

However, due to the fact that in 2017 a decree was issued regarding conscript service in the ranks Navy, conscripts will no longer go through it on ships and submarines. This is due to the fact that Navy switches to a contract basis.

In order to train personnel, more time is needed than allotted for conscription service. Conscripts will serve exclusively in the Coast Guard or Marine brigade.

Naval ranks and shoulder straps in Navy are assigned according to a certain service life. All conscripts who serve in these troops receive the rank sailor, which corresponds to the rank of private in other types of troops. During the service, if sailor proves himself, he may be awarded the next rank in his sailor’s career, senior sailor, which is identical to the corporal in the ground forces.

Sailors can be:

radio technicians;
mechanics;
helmsmen.

The senior sailor is already allowed to command the group or temporarily replace the squad leader. Shoulder straps The sailors, like the privates, are clean. There is only a designation in the form of the letter “F” on the shoulder strap. The senior sailor has one stripe in the form of a corner on his shoulder strap.

Next in the ranks Navy there are senior ranks, which are identical to sergeant ranks in other troops. Their duties also correspond to the sergeant and petty officer ranks in the ground forces.

The distribution of responsibility begins with the senior officer of article 2. Next comes petty officer 1st article, these sailors are entrusted with command of the squad, and chief petty officer may take responsibility for commanding a platoon. Chief Petty Officer on the ship he is responsible for the company.

Shoulder straps senior officers of the navy differ in the number of stripes on them. The sergeant major of the second article has 2 triangular stripes on his shoulder straps. Petty Officer 1st article has three stripes on his shoulder straps, and chief petty officer wears one but wide stripe. On the shoulder straps of the ship's chief petty officer there is a wide stripe and another narrow one next to it.

The next level on the career ladder is “ midshipman" This title is given only to those sailors who have graduated from a special school. In ground and air forces it corresponds to the rank " ensign" They are mainly responsible for organizational issues. Title " senior midshipman", has more powers and allows command of junior ranks.

Shoulder straps Navy Russian sailors with this rank differ in the number of stars. The midshipman should have two stars on his shoulders, and the senior midshipman should have three small stars on his shoulder straps.
Maximum rank for conscripts in the ranks Navy, subject to urgent service, this foreman 2 articles. This limitation is due to the fact that to receive this promotion you need to serve 1 year.

Junior officers

The very first rank in this officer corps is Ensign. It is assigned to the commander of a section on a ship or a platoon; it is also available in other branches of the military. Accordingly, the rank of lieutenant can be awarded upon expiration of the period of service at the previous rank. The assigned responsibility is higher than in the previous rank.

Senior Lieutenant has a responsibility higher than that of a lieutenant, which allows him to be the first mate of a ship. The next step in a sailor's career is obtaining the rank of captain-lieutenant, which is the final step in this officer corps. In other troops it is similar to the rank of army captain. A sailor with this rank can have a hundred subordinates at his disposal.

On the shoulder straps of lieutenants, in addition to the stars, there is a narrow stripe that runs along the entire shoulder strap. The number of stars depends on the rank. The smallest number is one star for a junior lieutenant, and then with each rank their number increases. The captain-lieutenant has four stars on his shoulder straps.

Senior officers

Senior officers also include the rank of captain.

The captain's shoulder straps have two longitudinal stripes. What does it mean to belong to the rank of captain? But the difference in ranks can be determined by the number of stars. The largest number, three stars, is located on the shoulder straps of a 1st rank captain.

Senior officers

In the navy, all ranks included in this composition correspond to the highest ranks of the ground forces. These ranks include admiral ranks.

Naval ranks and those attached to them shoulder straps senior officials Navy The Russian Federation has certain differences. There are no additional elements on them except stars. But on such shoulder straps there are stars of the largest size. One star is located on the shoulder straps of the rear admiral, two stars are on the vice admiral, three on the admiral and four on the admiral of the fleet.

In what other units are naval ranks awarded?

In the Navy, there are coastal units in which corresponding ranks are assigned. These include:

Marines designed for combat on the coastline and in the water. Their task is to protect maritime objects Navy. In the Marine Corps, only sailor and senior sailor have naval ranks, and then ranks are assigned, as in the ground forces.

Coastal security belongs to relatively new divisions Navy Russia, which relates to the border service FSB Russia. The task of the coast guard is to ensure the security of maritime borders and the safety of the surrounding waters. In this unit, ranks are assigned in the same way as in the navy. After graduating from the Coast Guard Institute, graduates are awarded the title midshipman . Shoulder straps All sailors have appropriate insignia. In this case, there are two midshipman stars on the shoulder straps of the graduates.

Naval aviation is designed to repel enemy attacks and provide air cover during combat operations. These units are based on aircraft carriers and other warships, as well as at airfields near the coastline. The ships are based on carrier-based fighters, training aircraft and helicopters. Naval aviation ranks and shoulder straps assigned the same way as naval ranks among infantrymen Navy. First comes sailor, then senior sailor, and then as in other ground forces.

How are titles awarded in Navy Russia

All titles are awarded according to established deadlines. But in case of demonstrated diligence or zeal for service, they may be awarded another promotion ahead of schedule. Marine military ranks and the insignia assigned to them and shoulder straps are assigned within the following periods:

Navy Russia consists of many units and each of them performs its own combat missions, but courage and courage have always been the hallmark of all sailors from sailor to admiral.

Rank and file

Private is the lowest military rank in the Russian Army. Moreover, the soldiers received this title in 1946, before that they were addressed exclusively as fighters or Red Army soldiers.

If the service is carried out in a guards military unit or on a guards ship, then when addressing a private, it is worth adding the same word "guard". If you want to contact a military personnel who is in the reserve and has a diploma of higher legal or medical education, then you should contact - "Private Justice", or "private medical service". Accordingly, it is worth adding the appropriate words to someone who is in reserve or retired.

In a ship, the rank of private corresponds to sailor.

Only senior soldiers who perform the best military service are given the rank Corporal. Such soldiers can act as commanders during the latter's absence.

All additional words that were applicable for a private remain relevant for a corporal. Only in the Navy, this rank corresponds to Senior sailor.

The one who commands a squad or combat vehicle receives the rank Lance Sergeant. In some cases, this rank is assigned to the most disciplined corporals upon transfer to the reserve, if such a staff unit was not provided for during service. In the ship's composition it is "sergeant major of the second article"

Since November 1940, the Soviet army received a rank for junior command personnel - sergeant. It is awarded to cadets who have successfully completed the sergeant training program and graduated with honors.
A private can also receive the rank - Lance Sergeant, who has proven himself worthy to be awarded the next rank, or upon transfer to the reserve.

In the Navy, a sergeant of the ground forces corresponds to the rank foreman.

Next comes the Senior Sergeant, and in the Navy - chief petty officer.

After this rank, there is some overlap between land and sea forces. Because after senior sergeant, in the ranks of the Russian army appears Sergeant Major. This title came into use in 1935. Only the best military personnel who served excellently in sergeant positions for six months deserve it, or upon transfer to the reserve, the rank of sergeant major is awarded to senior sergeants certified with excellent results. On the ship it is - chief petty officer.

Next come warrant officers And midshipmen. This is a special category of military personnel, close to junior officers. Complete the rank and file, senior warrant officer and midshipman.

Junior officers

A number of junior officer ranks in the Russian Army begin with the rank Ensign. This title is awarded to final year students and graduates of higher military educational institutions. However, in the event of a shortage of officers, a graduate of a civilian university can also receive the rank of junior lieutenant.

Lieutenant Only a junior lieutenant can become a junior lieutenant who has served a certain amount of time and received a positive educational certificate. Further - senior lieutenant.

And he closes the group of junior officers - Captain. This title sounds the same for both ground and naval forces.

By the way, the new field uniform from Yudashkin obliged our military personnel to duplicate the insignia on the chest. There is an opinion that the “runaways” from the leadership do not see the ranks on our officers’ shoulders and this is done for their convenience.

Senior officers

Senior officers begin with rank Major. In the navy, this rank corresponds to Captain 3rd rank. The following Navy ranks will only increase the rank of captain, that is, the rank of land Lieutenant Colonel will correspond Captain 2nd rank, and the rank Colonel – Captain 1st rank.

Senior officers

And the highest officer corps completes the hierarchy of military ranks in the Russian army.

Major General or Rear Admiral(in the navy) - such a proud title is worn by military personnel who command a division - up to 10 thousand people.

Above the Major General is Lieutenant General. (The lieutenant general is higher than the major general because the lieutenant general has two stars on his shoulder straps and the major general has one).

Initially, in the Soviet army, it was more likely not a rank, but a position, because the Lieutenant General was an assistant to the general and took on part of his functions, in contrast to Colonel General, who can personally fill senior positions, both in the General Staff and in the Ministry of Defense. In addition, in the Russian armed forces, a Colonel General may be the deputy commander of a military district.

And finally, the most important serviceman who has the highest military rank in the Russian army is Army General. All previous links must obey him.

Well, new guy, have you figured it out now?)

(in order from sailor to high command) mostly go back to those that appeared during the USSR period.

A little history - naval ranks and tables of ranks

As you know, in the last year of the reign of Peter I, the table of ranks was introduced. It was a table where civil and military service positions were divided into fourteen ranks. However, naval ranks were not included in every row of the table.

The XIV rank among naval ranks was given to a midshipman, corresponding to a collegiate registrar, ensign, cornet and artillery bayonet cadet. At the beginning of the reign of Paul I, the rank of midshipman began to refer to the XII rank. Also included in this rank was the rank of non-commissioned lieutenant, which existed until 1732.

A naval lieutenant was classified as rank X until 1884, after which a midshipman was promoted to this rank. The rank of lieutenant, in turn, began to refer to rank IX.

People who managed to rise to rank VIII in the fleet of the Russian Empire acquired the right to personal nobility. These positions included captains of the first three ranks and a senior lieutenant, who appeared in the navy shortly before the First World War. Rank V included the rank of captain-commander, which was finally abolished in 1827. Among the famous bearers of this title was the pioneer Vitus Bering.

Achieving rank IV in the service opened the door to hereditary nobles for a person. In the navy, people who reached the fourth and higher ranks commanded naval formations: rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral and admiral general.

This also included the rank of Schoutbenacht, who did not take root on Russian soil, and was replaced by a rear admiral. It is noteworthy that this naval rank was used as a pseudonym by the first Russian emperor himself - “Schautbenakht Peter Mikhailov.” The third rank was the General-Kriegskommissar of the Fleet, whose responsibilities included financial support of the naval forces. The title was abolished in 1817. Six people received the highest rank of admiral general in the history of the Russian Empire. Three of them were representatives of the imperial family.

Although the table of ranks ceased to exist after the creation of the USSR, many ranks reappeared in the navy of the Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation.

Main categories of naval ranks

Based on their composition, military personnel can be divided into the following groups:

Conscript and contract personnel.
Junior officers.
Senior officers.
Senior officers.

Russian citizens undergoing military service in the navy receive the rank of sailor. It roughly corresponds to a private in the ground forces. Sailors appeared in the fleet of the Soviet Union in 1946. Before this, the lowest military rank in the navy was called “red naval officer.”

Next comes the rank of “senior sailor,” which corresponds to the “corporal” of ground forces. The senior sailor commands the group or serves as an assistant to the chief petty officer. The rank of senior sailor can be obtained by employees who comply well with discipline and their duties.

The following four ranks correspond to the sergeant ranks of the ground forces:

Foreman of the first article.
Foreman of the second article.
Chief Petty Officer.
Chief ship's foreman.

Following the foremen are the “midshipman” and “senior midshipman.” These naval ranks correspond to the ranks of warrant officer and chief warrant officer.

The modern division of naval ranks dates back to the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, issued in 1943. He approved the division of officers into junior, senior and senior. The decree included titles for each group, which have survived to the present day.

Junior officers of our country's fleet are called: junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant and lieutenant commander. A junior lieutenant can lead a combat post. More senior representatives of this category of officers can be assistant commanders of a ship of the fourth rank or even command such a ship.

Senior officers include captains of the first, second and third ranks. They can also be called captri, kavtorang and caperang. These representatives of the officer corps can command military vessels of the appropriate rank.

In the modern Russian fleet, the rank of a warship is determined based on the complexity of control, the number of personnel and combat power. The first rank includes cruisers, nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. The second rank includes large landing ships, destroyers, and large missile ships.

The third rank includes small missile and anti-submarine ships, medium landing ships, and minesweepers. The fourth rank includes small landing craft and torpedo boats.

The highest officer ranks of our country's fleet were first established in 1940 by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council. This is the system we are familiar with:

In the ground forces, these ranks correspond (in ascending order) to major general, lieutenant general, colonel general and army general. A rear admiral can lead a squadron or serve as an assistant to a flotilla commander. A vice admiral may command a flotilla or operational squadron and also serves as deputy fleet commander. At the head of a separate fleet is an admiral. In modern Russia there is one fleet admiral, who is the commander-in-chief of the naval forces of our country.

The rank of "fleet admiral" was introduced in the Soviet Union in 1940. It corresponded to “general of the army.” None of the naval commanders of the country of the Soviets received it at that moment. In fact, the highest rank was admiral.

In 1944, two naval commanders received it. The first was Nikolai Kuznetsov, who at that time held the post of People's Commissar of the Fleet. He was a member of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, and Nikolai Kuznetsov’s actions in commanding the country’s fleet were successful. In 1945, the title of “Admiral of the Fleet” was given to Ivan Isakov, who led the main naval headquarters during the war before his injury.

In 1955, an additional decree was issued that adjusted the highest naval ranks of the country of the Soviets. To the rank of “Admiral of the Fleet” was added “Soviet Union”. Holders of this rank had the right to wear the “Marshal's Star”, an insignia introduced in 1940.

This highest naval rank was abolished in 1993 because the country referred to in its name no longer existed. The highest rank of naval officers became again "admiral of the fleet".

The rank introduced in 1955 was personal. In the history of the Soviet state, only three people received the title “Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union.” Immediately after the introduction of the new military rank, N.G. received it. Kuznetsov and I.S. Isakov. A year later, Kuznetsov fell into disgrace and lost his highest rank. It was returned to the naval commander posthumously during the years of Perestroika. In 1967, Sergei Gorshkov, who went through the war with the rank of rear admiral and led the construction and rearmament of the fleet in the post-war years, was awarded the highest naval rank.

The rank of Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union corresponded in the 1960-1990s to the rank of Marshal of the USSR. In turn, the “admiral of the fleet”, who was of lower rank, corresponded to the general of the army and the marshal of the military branch.

The Commander-in-Chief of our country's naval forces may bear the rank of admiral or admiral of the fleet. Thus, the first naval officer to hold this position in post-Soviet Russia, Felix Gromov, became commander-in-chief in 1992, being an admiral. He received the rank of fleet admiral four years later, shortly before retirement.

The next commanders-in-chief (Vladimir Kuroyedov and Vladimir Masorin) took this post as admirals, and after that they received a higher rank. Vladimir Vysotsky and Vladimir Chirkov were commanders-in-chief, remaining with the rank of admiral. Also, the current Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Korolev retains the rank of admiral, received in 2013.

The chiefs of the General Staff of the Fleet, who were the first deputies of the commander-in-chief, as a rule, bore the rank of vice admiral or admiral. Andrei Volozhinsky, who began serving in this post in 2016, retains the rank of vice admiral.

The Navy of modern Russia became the successor to the fleet. Most senior naval officers began their service in the Soviet Navy. For this reason, the ranks in the fleet in modern Russia (in order from sailor to admiral) have not undergone fundamental changes compared to the Soviet period.

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.

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 all 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 to unload the load. Having a large selection of different

Increasingly, in news reports from hot spots, you can hear the word special forces, which means special forces units as part of certain security or law enforcement agencies. This indicates the increased role of special operations forces of the FSB and GRU units in resolving power conflicts. To effectively achieve your goals, you need an appropriate form of clothing, which, in addition to convenience, should protect the fighter from

Almost all modern armies are supplied with uniforms intended for use directly on the battlefield, field uniforms. Most armies in the world have this uniform in camouflage coloring. This material provides an overview of the main camouflage colors currently used in various armies of the world. It should also be noted that this material does not cover the topics of uniform cut, quality characteristics of fabric, and the like.

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. The second statement is more significant. The army must not only be numerous, but also functional and controllable.

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

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

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 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 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.

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. 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 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, and for different troops they have different external

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

Ratnik is Russian military equipment for a soldier, also called the kit of the soldier of the future. Ratnik is part of a general project to improve the quality of an individual soldier on the battlefield through the use of the latest scientific achievements in the field of navigation, night vision systems, tracking the psychophysiological state of a soldier, and the use of advanced materials in the manufacture of armor and clothing fabrics. The system is a complex of modern means of protection,

Russian military equipment Ratnik was developed by FSUE TsNIITOCHMASH. Basic principles for creating a basic complex of special clothing property: Combination of optimal weight, volume, functional and protective features, incl. hygienic and physical-mechanical properties for operation in particularly intensive conditions and in isolation from the main forces when performing tasks. The versatility of the complex. Camouflage properties developed the most universal color and

Russia has completed the development of the new Ratnik combat equipment, which is a complex of weapons, personal protective equipment, reconnaissance and communications. The first serial sets of equipment have already been delivered to the troops. Several units of the Russian Ground Forces marched in them across Red Square on May 9, 2015. According to the Ministry of Defense, the purchase of Ratnik is already included in the state defense order for the current year, however, exactly how many sets of equipment will be supplied to the troops is still unknown.

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

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. 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

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. The regiments began to develop into their modern form 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 common tasks and quickly 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 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

Since the founding of this type of troops, the uniform of the Airborne Forces has been 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

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. In 2014, new clothing was received

New clothing for the Russian army was supposed to be developed back in 2009 under the leadership of the country's chief couturier Valenitin Yudashkin. However, the disagreement of the officers pushed back the deadline for its production. The new model military uniform was presented only in 2012, by the BTK Group company from St. Petersburg. The new military clothing is made of 8 layers. When performing various combat missions, a fighter can use the layer necessary for him, depending on

The Electrically Heated Ratnik-Arctic uniform, commissioned by the FSB Border Research Center, has been adopted by the FSB Border Service, which guards borders in the Arctic. The development of the form was carried out by NPC Voenform-design LLC. The technical conditions for the production of the uniform were prepared by June 2013, and in 2015, the Warrior-Arctic was first received by military personnel of the northernmost Russian border post Nagurskoye, located on Earth

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,

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

The protective kit for crews of armored vehicles 6B48 Ratnik-ZK was put into service in 2014. The manufacturer of this kit is the Moscow Center for High-Strength Materials Armocom. This kit is designed to protect crew members of combat vehicles from exposure to open flames, thermal effects, secondary fragments formed in the habitable compartment, as well as to protect elbow and knee joints from various types of mechanical damage.

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, 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

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

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

Major.
Lieutenant colonel.
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:

Sailor, senior sailor.
Foreman 2 (second) article, foreman 1 (first) article, chief foreman, chief ship's foreman - representatives of a group of military personnel classified as sergeants and foremen.
Midshipman, senior midshipman - military personnel of the group of warrant officers and midshipmen.
Junior lieutenant, lieutenant, senior lieutenant, captain-lieutenant - a group of military personnel representing junior officers.
Captain 3 (third) rank, captain 2 (second) rank, captain 1 (first) rank - representatives of senior officers.
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 ranks, 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 include in a separate group the 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 are fundamentally different 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, under Alexander III (the third), it was realized that rich uniforms were 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.
