Assignment of an "extraordinary" military rank. Assignment of an "extraordinary" military rank Report for assignment of the next military rank Major

Military rank is an integral part of any army, and this also applies to the Russian Armed Forces. The introduction of a system of military ranks made it possible to draw a clear line between soldiers, officers and senior command personnel, which makes it possible to maintain interpersonal subordination and order in the Russian army. This is important not only in peacetime, but especially during the period of hostilities.

History of the origin of military ranks

For the first time, military ranks and positions appeared in the Russian kingdom in the 16th-17th centuries. The system of army one-man command affected only the streltsy army. In the rest of the army, the ranks of the state, that is, civilian, service were preserved, until the moment they were reorganized into regiments of the new system.

In the streltsy regiment, there was a system of military ranks, which varied depending on the number of subordinates (foreman, pentecostal, centurion, and so on).

Later, in the regiments of the new system, the ranks underwent major changes and began to be called in the Western European manner (from ensign and lieutenant, ending with lieutenant general and general).

This system is very similar to the current design of Russian military ranks.

In 1722, the nomenclature of military ranks expanded greatly, which led to a division between the rank and position of an officer.

This procedure was maintained until 1917. It underwent significant changes after the communists came to power, and in the Soviet Union the ranks were replaced by the posts of Soviet officers.

On September 22, 1935, by decree of the Central Executive Committee, military ranks were introduced. In order to avoid associations with the White Army, some ranks were changed (for example, the general was changed to a division commander, brigade commander). Later, in 1940, the ranks of general and admiral were returned, and already in 1972 the rank of "ensign" and "midshipman" was introduced.

The system of military ranks, which operates at the present time, is the legacy of the multifaceted history of Russia, and in particular the Soviet Union.

Subordination in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

The life of the army largely depends on the existing relationships in the team. A team that is mired in conflicts cannot carry out the corresponding training and combat activities. Whereas the company, where friendship and mutual support reigns, copes with it perfectly. The commander of a military group should always remember this.

However, this is a double-edged sword: servicemen are obliged to do what their higher authorities order (if this does not contradict the military regulations and current legislation). Few want to experience the hardships of service. And this is exactly what the soldier is obliged to do.

For this, military service regulations have been introduced in the armed units, which the soldier, entering the service and taking the oath, undertakes to fulfill. The Charter of the Internal Service of the RF Armed Forces regulates the relationship between soldiers and officers: one-man command and subordination, tact and restraint, mutual respect, collectivism, which are the basic principles of this document.

The disciplinary charter of the RF Armed Forces defines the main essence of the discipline of a serviceman, his rights and obligations, types of incentives and disciplinary punishments, the rights and obligations of the commander for their use, the rules for filing complaints, applications and proposals.

The statutory rules for the relationship between servicemen entering the guard, garrison and commandant service are governed by the corresponding statutes of the Armed Forces, which exist to monitor compliance with the conduct of this type of military service. The military rules and the order of military greetings are determined by the Combat Regulations.

Compliance with the charter relationship lies with each soldier in particular and the collective as a whole. In particular, the commanding part of the garrison should monitor this. Therefore, the officer is entrusted with special powers to control discipline and the order of service of his subordinates.

Responsibility for violation of statutory relationships

Depending on the nature and severity of the offense, a serviceman may incur disciplinary, administrative, civil or even criminal liability (Article 28 of the Federal Law "On the Status of Servicemen").

For violation of discipline or public order, the military will be punished in accordance with the Disciplinary Regulations. The current commander can make both a remark and a reminder about it and carry out a disciplinary action. It depends on the degree of guilt and the severity of the offense committed. Also, the boss may see signs of a crime in the actions of the subordinate, which he will have to report, which, in turn, will investigate.

The statutory relationship of soldiers is protected by the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and current legislation. The threat of criminal punishment occurs if a soldier:

exceeded official powers;
did not follow the order;
resisted the commander or forced him to violate his military duties;
insulted or injured another soldier.

The complex form - psychological impact and educational work, will be able to strengthen the fighting spirit of soldiers and warn them against violating the rules of the charter of relationships.

The value of military rank in the Armed Forces

Military ranks cannot be viewed only from the angle of the fact that a soldier is encouraged. They are issued to the most trained, disciplined and responsible of those in service, since they are responsible for commanding personnel.

Rank is an important component of the Armed Forces. But it is worth remembering that the decisive position between the subordinate and the boss is the position held by the latter.

The title can be understood as a kind of service skill, in accordance with which a soldier or officer is awarded certain powers and privileges. The military rank is issued exclusively for services to the Fatherland, which makes it possible to divide decent servicemen and not so much in the army.

At the moment, there are two types of ranks in the army of the Russian Federation:

combined arms;
shipboard.

The first are assigned to persons serving in the infantry and air force ranks. The latter belong to the military who serve in the Russian Navy. An obligatory attribute of a rank is the type of armed forces in which a person is located. For example, an serving colonel in a guards unit is assigned to the rank of an addition to the "guard", that is, "guard colonel". For people who are assigned to legal or medical units, the concept of "justice" or "medical services" is added to the rank, respectively.

When a soldier retires or leaves, his rank is retained, but the accompanying definition will be "retired" (retired captain or retired colonel).

The procedure for assigning military ranks

To obtain the next rank, it is necessary to voluntarily enter the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, to enter upon conscription or graduate from a special higher educational institution.

Service life also plays an important role in the assignment of military ranks to servicemen. After serving a certain period of time, a soldier receives another rank. Within the framework of his powers, an official can also confer a title, if he considers it necessary.

Persons liable for military service, for whom sergeant and sergeant ranks are provided, are issued based on the results of successful completion of service training.

The assignment of military ranks by presidential decree is also possible, but for this the officer must be represented by his current chief, reporting about it.

Obtaining the next military ranks

For ordinary military personnel, in order to receive the next rank, you will need to serve a certain period of time.

senior soldier or sailor - 5 months;
junior sergeant - 1 year;
sergeant - 2 years;
and a warrant officer - 3 years.

During this period, the service of a soldier should take place without disciplinary sanctions, and the title will be awarded only after passing the test according to the service program.

The next rank assigned to the officer corps also depends on the period of service. The terms for assigning military ranks to officers are calculated in years. The higher the position and rank, the longer it will take to get a new one:

for a "junior lieutenant" this term is equal to two years;
the assignment of the military rank "lieutenant" and "senior lieutenant" occurs after three years of service;
it will take four years to obtain a “captain” (“lieutenant-captain”) and a “major” (“captain of the 3rd rank”);
“Lieutenant Colonel” or “Captain 2nd Rank” can only be obtained after five years of service.

Who is not awarded the next military ranks?

For military officers, stars on shoulder straps do not shine if they:

were brought in as a defendant in a criminal case or it was initiated against them (before the end of the proceedings);
are at the disposal of the chief (commander);
committed a disciplinary offense (before the application of a measure of responsibility);
submitted to early dismissal under Art. 51 Federal;
are checked for the accuracy and completeness of information on income and expenses, property and property obligations;
suspended military service;
are in places of detention and are serving a criminal sentence;
have not cleared a criminal record.

Assignment of an extraordinary military rank

In addition to refusal to receive a regular military rank, as part of the award, soldiers or officers can be assigned to an extraordinary rank.

It is possible to receive the coveted stars on shoulder straps ahead of time only by decision of the management, in whose department the soldier is serving. This happens very rarely, because the dominant person performs such actions only at his own discretion.

If an officer or soldier participated in special operations, showed himself in an emergency, his subordinates showed excellent results in training and combat training, then as an incentive, the current commander can assign him an extraordinary military rank.

Deprivation of rank

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have a system of reward and punishment for their subordinates. A serviceman can not only be deprived of his next rank, but also demoted from the existing one.

This happens in grave and especially grave misconduct on the part of the military, of which only the court can accuse him. After a conviction, a soldier can be demoted and deprived of existing social benefits and privileges.

After the cancellation of the conviction in rank and position, you can recover by submitting an application to the military registration and enlistment office. However, there is no guarantee that the Armed Forces will accept the former soldier back to the same position and in the same rank.

If an officer or soldier was convicted unfairly, then after rehabilitation he will be automatically reinstated in his position and rank.

Military rank is an integral attribute of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the history of which can be traced back to the beginning of the 16th century. The assignment of a military rank can be either regular (upon the expiration of a certain period of service) or extraordinary (for special services to the Fatherland and the quality of service).

In the process of performing service, the military must observe strict subordination, for the violation of which there may be liability, up to criminal, depending on the severity of the offense committed. After a conviction, a soldier can be demoted and deprived of his post, which is not easy to restore. A responsible attitude to military duties is the key to a healthy army.

The next military rank is assigned to a soldier on the day of the expiration of his military service in the previous military rank, if he holds a military position for which the state provides for a military rank equal to or higher than the military rank assigned to a soldier.
For military service in the following military ranks, the terms are set:
For graduates of higher military educational institutions, the term of tenure in the rank of lieutenant is 2 years.
The military rank of a senior officer may be awarded to a soldier after at least two years of his military service in the previous military rank and at least one year in the military position held, subject to replacement by senior officers.

c) the time spent in stock.
When a serviceman is appointed to a higher military position at the same time, and if it is impossible to simultaneously formalize - from the date of appointment to a higher military position, he is assigned the next military rank, if his term of service in the previous military rank has expired, provided that the state provides for a military a rank equal to or higher than the military rank assigned to a soldier.
The military rank can be awarded to an officer ahead of schedule for special personal merits, but not higher than the military rank provided by the state for the military position he holds, and also one step higher than the one stipulated by the current position for special personal merits, if the period of military service in the previous military rank expired, but not higher than the military rank of major (captain of the 3rd rank).

Military ranks

1. Article 46 of the Federal Law establishes the following composition of military personnel and military ranks:

The composition of the military	Military ranks
The composition of the military	military	ship
Soldiers, sailors, sergeants, foremen	corporal Lance Sergeant staff Sergeant foreman	senior sailor foreman 2 articles foreman 1 article chief petty officer chief petty officer
Warrant officers and warrant officers	ensign Senior Warrant Officer	senior warrant officer

junior officers	Ensign lieutenant senior lieutenant	Ensign lieutenant senior lieutenant lieutenant captain
senior officers	lieutenant colonel colonel	rank 3 captain rank 2 captain 1st rank captain
senior officers	major general lieutenant general colonel general army General	rear admiral vice admiral admiral of the fleet
	Marshal of the Russian Federation

2. Before the military rank of a soldier who is doing military service in a guards military unit, on a guards ship, the word "guard" is added.

The words "justice" or "medical service" are added to the military rank of a soldier or citizen in reserve, having a military registration specialty of a legal or medical profile.

The words "reserve" or "retired" are added to the military rank of a citizen in reserve or in retirement, respectively.

3. The seniority of military ranks and composition of military personnel is determined by the sequence of their listing in Article 46 of the Federal Law: from the military rank "private" ("sailor") to a higher one and from the composition of "soldiers, sailors, sergeants, foremen" to a higher one.

Corresponding military and naval military ranks are considered equal.

4. Military ranks are assigned to servicemen personally.

Military rank can be first or next.

5. The form and content of submissions, forms of other documents and orders for the conferment of military ranks, as well as the procedure for their registration and submission (with the exception of senior officers) are established by the head of the federal executive body or federal state body in which military service is envisaged.

Military rank is an integral part of any army, and the Russian one is not an exception to the general rules. It is thanks to them that subordination is ensured in the Armed Forces. In addition, the higher the rank, the more rights a soldier has. Here, by the way, one should not forget that in the RF Armed Forces there is also such a concept as a position.

There are currently 2 types of military ranks in the Russian army:

combined arms;
shipboard.

With the first, everything is probably clear. Ship ranks are assigned to persons in military service in the Navy. In addition, there are some other important points to be noted. In particular, in some cases, a corresponding word or prefix is also added to the title. For example, a guard colonel. In this case, this officer is serving in the guards unit. For military personnel of the legal or medical service, the words "justice" / "medical service" are added to the rank. In addition, the military rank is assigned to the military for life. In other words, even after leaving the reserve, a person is considered a major. But at the same time "retired" is necessarily added.

In the Russian Federation, at the legislative level, the delimitation of such concepts as "military service" and "conscription" has been approved. Let's clarify this point a little. In the first case, we are talking about persons called up for military service. After serving the due date, they are transferred to the reserve. Today, conscripts can choose for themselves how they will serve "conscription" - by conscription or by contract. Each of these options has its own pros and cons. Military service is a special type of civil service, and somewhat different laws are already in force here. Moreover, there are many common points, one of which is military ranks. Both the first and the second group of servicemen have them.

Terms and features of the assignment of military ranks in the Russian army

Now let's look at one more point directly related to military service and ranks. We are talking about the timing and peculiarities of the assignment of military ranks in the Russian army. To begin with, I would like to note that the military here can be divided into groups such as:

soldiers and sailors;
sergeants and foremen;
officers - persons of junior, senior and higher commanding personnel.

A mandatory requirement for obtaining the next military rank is service for a certain period. This moment is very strictly regulated.

It should be noted that there are quite a large number of clarifications here, but we will not dwell on this in detail. If soldiers and sailors are awarded the next rank after 5 months of service, then in other cases the term is measured in years. It comprises, in particular:

junior sergeant - 1 year;
sergeant - 2 years;
senior sergeant - 3;
ensign - 3.

The same situation is with the officer corps. To receive a promotion, they must serve a certain number of years:

junior lieutenant - 2;
lieutenant and senior lieutenant - 3;
captain, major - 4;
lieutenant colonel - 5.

Then the situation looks like this. In order to become an officer of the highest commanding staff, a colonel must serve in this rank for at least 2 years. That's not all. You must also serve at least 1 year in the position provided for senior officers. Without this, one can not count on an increase. However, this moment also applies to the rest of the officers. To get the next promotion, before this, a soldier must necessarily occupy the appropriate position. At the same time, no terms of military service have been established for the lieutenant general. Calculation begins at the moment of awarding the title.

It should be noted that in 2016 the presidents of the Russian Federation made changes to the legislation. In particular, such a concept as certification has appeared. Because of this, getting the next military ranks has become somewhat more complicated. If before that, for example, the captain was sure that after serving 4 years, he would automatically receive another promotion, now the procedure looks different. A serviceman, in particular, will still need to prove his professional suitability to his superiors. That is, climbing up the career ladder has become a little more difficult. The assignment of the next military rank after amendments to the legislation depend on the discipline of the soldier and his behavior. In addition, a wider list of gross disciplinary offenses is currently in force.

Now the decision on whether to raise a soldier or not is made by members of the certification commission, which includes his commanders and colleagues. However, as military expert Viktor Murakhovsky explained, this innovation does not mean at all that an officer who did not demonstrate the growth of his professional knowledge during the service, or systematically violated discipline, can forget about career growth. In fact, this is not so, and even violators of discipline can count on getting the next rank. Servicemen just need to constantly improve themselves, not in word, but in deed to prove that they are really ready for promotion.

It is worth recalling that the certification system operated in the army during the Soviet period. Then she was one of the most effective methods of educating military personnel. First, the commander prepared the relevant documents, after which they were considered by a special commission. If its members made a positive decision, then the presentation was sent to a higher authority. For each specific officer, the decision on the assignment of the next rank, up to major, was made at the level of the district commander. Higher appointments were already made by the head of the Ministry of Defense.

The purpose of the innovations was the desire to increase the motivation of officers in obtaining new ranks. In the Russian army, the salary of a serviceman consists of 2 parts: the payment received by the officer according to the rank, as well as the remuneration for the position held. Moreover, in the second case, the amount is more serious than in the second. Because of this, the assignment of the next title has ceased to be perceived as a form of encouragement. As a result, many officers became indifferent when they were promoted - now, or two years later. After all, in money they still do not lose much and do not win.

After the amendments made to the legislation have come into force, servicemen who have the right to be awarded the next rank, who have certain obstacles for promotion, should, based on the results of a personal conversation, find out the reasons for the refusal. It is worth noting that they must be brought under the signature. At the same time, the sheet of the conversation itself is attached to the personal file of the serviceman.

In the Armed Forces of our country, other troops, military formations and departmental bodies, servicemen are awarded deserved military ranks. These very ranks determine the status of a soldier in the existing military hierarchy, plus, they have a strong impact on the position of a citizen in society. Also, the monetary allowance of servicemen and the future retirement benefits after dismissal from service directly depend on the military rank.

In most situations, the assignment of a military rank takes place on time and in accordance with the relevant legislation. But at the same time, it also happens that separately taken servicemen, and citizens who are in the reserve, are victims of accidental mistakes or direct arbitrariness of officials who grossly violate the rules for conferring the assigned ranks.

The next ranks are awarded separately to each military man in relation to their service status, military or professional training, belonging to the branch of the military, plus taking into account their personal merits. Military ranks provide seniority in the relationship between the military.

In our army they distinguish categories of military and military ranks ... The military itself is divided into typical categories:

soldiers, sailors, sergeants and foremen;

warrant officers and warrant officers;

junior officer link;

senior officers;

the highest officer echelon.

Usually at the beginning of the military rank of a soldier, serving in a guards military formation, or on a guards ship, there is prefix - "guards".

To the rank of a military man or those who are in reserve, possessing a military accounting category of a legal or medical profile, are added prefix "justice" or, respectively, "medical service". The prefixes "reserve" or "retired" are added to the military rank of those who are in the reserve or retired citizens. For those who are not military, our legislation does not allow the introduction of any ranks or class ranks, by analogy with military ones.

The assignment of the next military rank takes place in the following order:

The highest officer echelon - appointed by the supreme commander-in-chief;

Up to the colonel or captain of the 1st rank, respectively - by officials in accordance with the Regulations on the procedure for performing military service. The terms of the prescribed military service with the existing rank, as well as the procedure for conferring such rank, are regulated by the above Regulations.

A new military rank is awarded to a soldier on the day of the end of his military service in the current military rank, if he holds an appropriate position for which the military rank is provided for by the schedule.

A military man holding the rank of an officer and successfully completing full-time training in a departmental educational institution of higher profile education, as well as in an adjunct or departmental doctorate, the next military rank up to lieutenant colonel or captain of the 2nd rank, respectively, is awarded on the day of the end of the service in the current military rank, regardless of the position in which he was before entering such an educational institution.

Following a military rank can be awarded earlier than the due date , for significant personal merits, but not higher than the rank that is provided for by the schedule for his current official position.

A military man, whose term of service in the current rank has expired, for significant personal merits may well be awarded the next rank one category higher than that provided by the schedule for the current official position, however, but not higher than a major or captain of the 3rd rank, and those who has a degree or the academic rank holding the official position of the teaching staff in the departmental educational institution of specialized education - no higher than the rank of colonel or captain of the 1st rank.

Upon admission to military service of a person who is or has already served in the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, State Border Service, organizations of the penal system, and other law enforcement agencies and has a specialized rank, such a military rank is awarded in the manner prescribed by the said Regulation.

The military, as well as the one who is in the reserve or retired, may be exposed to stripping of the existing rank only by a court verdict for committing (involvement in such) a grave or especially grave offense.

Those who have been deprived of their military rank, in the event that they have served their prescribed punishment and have completely canceled their convictions, can be reinstated in their former rank, by decision of officials who have the right to make such decisions, in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations.

Soldiers, sailors, sergeants, foremen, and citizens called up for military training in the listed ranks can be downgraded or reinstated in such rank, according to the Federal Law "On the Status of Servicemen" and the Disciplinary Regulations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Citizens in stock, the first or next ranks can also be awarded, but, as a rule, not higher than the rank of colonel or captain of the 1st rank.

Those who are in reserve, the next rank can also be awarded if such citizens are currently assigned, or can be assigned to a military unit, to be called up to serve on mobilization for a position for which the military rank is established by the military time schedule equivalent to either higher than the military rank awarded to citizens in reserve, and the next military rank, in addition, at the end of the mandatory period of stay in the current military rank. At the same time, citizens in reserve can be awarded the next (first) title as a result of their passing military training camps and compulsory passing of the relevant exams or in a strict attestation procedure.

For those who are in the reserve, the terms of stay in the current ranks, the rights of authorized persons to award the next ranks and the procedure for awarding the next ranks are also regulated by the Regulations.

The commander (chief), in the interests of observing the existing procedure for the passage of military service by subordinates, undertakes to promptly and without delay to carry out the assignment of the next (first) military ranks by the military.

Early award of the next military rank to the military , plus the assignment of a military rank to a category higher than the military rank provided for by the schedule for a given military position, are nothing more than mandatory forms of encouragement.

When a military is awarded the military rank of warrant officer, midshipman, primary officer rank, as well as the first rank of a senior officer or senior officer, a new service card is drawn up for him, in which the disciplinary penalties previously applied to the military are not introduced, but only incentives are made, with the exception of incentives for withdrawal previously applied penalty. The old service card must be destroyed.
