Military ranks in the army occupy a very important place, thanks to this division, subordination between military personnel is observed. According to the ranks, the soldier has more powers and opportunities. There is a regulated procedure for conferring military ranks, compliance with which is mandatory.

How are ranks awarded in the army?

There are two groups of ranks in the Russian army: ship ranks and ranks related to general troops. The procedure for assigning regular military ranks to combined arms servicemen applies to military personnel serving in the ground forces and other military units. Ship ranks have military personnel serving in the Navy.

When serving in the guards units or as part of the navy, the military rank has the prefix "guards". For the military medical service or those associated with justice, the prefixes “med. service" and "justice". In addition, the assigned ranks remain with the soldier for life. Even after taking a well-deserved rest. In this case, the addition "retired" is assigned.

The basis for conferring a military rank in the Russian army is:

1. Call for service in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for military service or under a contract.
2. Obtaining a military specialty after graduating from a secondary military educational institution or academy.
3. The deadline for receiving the right to the next increase.
4. Early promotion.
5. Obtaining a position in which it is required to have the required rank.
6. Passing tests, in which there is an opportunity to receive a promotion.

What are the deadlines for assignment

All available ranks in the Russian army are divided into three large groups, which differ in the rules for their assignment.
The main groups of military personnel include:

• ordinary composition;
• sergeants and foremen;
• officer staff.

To make the next increase, there are certain deadlines for conferring military ranks, these periods are very clearly observed, the only exception can be receiving an increase ahead of time, for certain reasons. For advancement in each next step in a military career, a certain period prescribed in the documents is allotted.

The minimum period is required to increase the rank and file, in this case it is 5 months. Other groups of military personnel are assigned regular promotions, according to regulatory documents, but they count for years already. The colonel has the longest waiting period for the next military rank, it is 5 years.

The procedure for conferring the next military rank depends not only on the time spent by a serviceman in the ranks of the armed forces of the Russian army, but also on a specific position, according to which a military rank can be assigned. A military man can be an ensign for the entire service and so retire if he does not transfer to another position and does not have the appropriate education.

The timing of the assignment of military ranks to officers depends on many factors. Getting the next promotion is connected with the personal qualities of the officer, his education. A junior lieutenant can only be obtained after receiving a military specialty or visiting a military department while studying at a civilian university, and to obtain the rank of lieutenant, you will have to serve at least 3 years in the ranks of the RF Armed Forces.

In addition, in 2016, the procedure for obtaining changes in the military career was changed. To get the opportunity to increase, it is not enough to comply with the deadlines for awarding titles, it is necessary to undergo recertification. Not only the professional knowledge of the applicant for promotion is taken into account, but also his observance of military discipline and the absence of penalties. Now, in order to receive another change in the track record, it is necessary to prove to the certification committee that the applicant really deserves this promotion. But this does not mean that violators of discipline are forever deprived of the opportunity to be promoted, they will need to try to prove their right to such a promotion by deed.

Such a system operated during the existence of the Soviet Union, and had a good disciplinary effect. In addition, a change in a military career can be encouraged ahead of schedule, regardless of the observance of the deadlines for the assignment of military ranks, but there must be serious reasons for this. Such reasons include: a heroic deed or valor shown in military operations, as well as personal merits.

Separate consideration deserves the rank of junior sergeant while on active duty. To get such a promotion, an ordinary, you need to make some effort. The procedure for assigning a private to the rank of sergeant is as follows. If an ordinary soldier has shown good combat and drill training, flawlessly follows the charter and serves with dignity, then he can thus be promoted in the army hierarchy. In order to assign a sergeant, a private has several options:

1. Complete training in the educational part of a special program. After passing the exam and getting a good score, you can become a junior sergeant.
2. Obtaining a position in which the state requires you to be a junior sergeant.
3. To be appointed squad leader, in connection with the departure of the former sergeants for demobilization and the release of a place in the state. To do this, you need to have the ability to manage personnel and be in good physical shape.

Obtaining a rank for military personnel of the reserve

Citizens who have already served by conscription or under a contract, who are in the reserve, have the right to upgrade their military status. To do this, they need to be attached to a specific military commissariat and go through the next ones.

After passing such fees, an attestation commission is held. By decision of the commission, another promotion is assigned. To do this, you need to show yourself from the best side and have good physical fitness.

Deprivation of the rank in the army

The Russian army uses a system of rewards and punishments. In addition to conferring a rank to encourage personnel for service, they can also apply the penalty of deprivation of military rank.

The reason for such a decision may be the commission of serious offenses. If the case goes to court, then the serviceman is deprived of his current rank, but with an extinguished conviction, he has the right to apply for the restoration of his previous position. To do this, you need to get the consent of the authorized body and the military commissar, but in reality this is a rather complicated process.

The procedure for restoring to the previous status has the following steps. A soldier needs to contact the military commissariat to which he is assigned. Your application will be considered within 30 days. If there are grounds for the restoration of the title, a submission will be sent to the authorized body that the title should be restored.

Not everyone is given the opportunity to go from private to colonel, and only a few become generals, but if there is a desire to serve for the good of the motherland and devote one's life to this, then the next military promotion will not have to wait long.

Starting this topic, you should immediately recall the requirement that in order to obtain a special title, a person working in the Department of Internal Affairs must conduct a personal account of the following points:

• qualifications of this employee;
• education with which he got a job;
• attitude towards the service itself;
• period of work at this place;
• current position;
• There are a number of conditions that may affect the decision.

Depending on how special titles are assigned, they are next and first. As the name suggests, with the first, the employee begins his journey after employment, and the work process, which is more often associated with achievements and career advancement, is accompanied by the periodic receipt of new titles. Be sure to take into account the fact that there is a clear relationship between the special rank of the police, which depends on the current, currently occupied position.

An employee who is scheduled to receive the rank of private can only be awarded by those who have a similar right for privates and junior staff.

The opportunity to assign a special rank to the applicant (both the first and the next) is available only to the bosses who have received such a right. Citizens who have been accepted into senior positions of commanding staff may receive no more than a major, unless there is a greater reserve.

When it comes to the composition of the officer levels, the assignment can only be made by the minister. The next special titles for the command staff will be assigned sequentially. It is imperative that the assigned rank corresponds to the position being promoted, despite the fact that the period of work at the previous rank corresponds to the required period of being on it. Exceptional situations that can offset these two factors will be discussed below.

If the chief in the internal affairs bodies delays the assignment of ranks in the police, and this is unreasonable, then he will bear disciplinary responsibility. Simply put, the boss does not have the right to somehow change the procedure for assigning new ranks at his whim - he is obliged to obey the rules that are developed for all employees.

Since we are talking about terms of service, after which a new title can be obtained, they should be listed in more detail:

1. Private must work for a year.
2. Junior sergeant - the same period (year).
3. Working as a sergeant, you should have served for two years.
4. For a senior sergeant, the duration will be three years.
5. For ensigns, the value reaches five years.
6. There are no deadlines for a foreman or senior warrant officer.

After that, you can list similar terms for the middle (and older) command staff:

1. For junior lieutenants, this is 1 year of service without complaints and other negative points. What will be true for any position - disciplinary action taken against an employee means the impossibility of any career growth until the measures are lifted. The criminal case should not just be closed, it needs confirmation that there are rehabilitating grounds for closing.
2. For lieutenants, this term is already 2 years.
3. The senior lieutenants following them have 3.
4. A police captain has a duration of 3 years.
5. For a major - 4 years, a lieutenant colonel must serve 5 years.
6. When the special rank of lieutenant was received along with graduation from the university, the period of study in it was 5 years and the activity is carried out in the same specialty of training a lieutenant, then the term of service for him is reduced to a year.
7. For the ranks of colonel, as well as for the highest commanding staff, such terms do not exist.

Ensign

The requirements for the rank of second lieutenant will be listed below.

The rank of junior lieutenant is supposed to be assigned to those who are in the position of an ordinary or junior command staff. The special courses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, conducted in accordance with the program of this department, should have already been completed, or they have completed training in secondary specialized educational institutions from any other ministries, after which they ended up in the position of commanding the middle staff.

It is also possible to assign to those employees who:

• are studying at the final courses of secondary and higher specialized educational institutions and working in the position of an ordinary or junior command staff;
• those who have an unfinished VO (not less than the third year) and have already been assigned to the position of the middle command staff.

Citizens who have graduated from a secondary specialized educational institution and are appointed to perform the position of middle command staff may also be allowed to receive this title. The same title can be assigned to students (as well as cadets) of the universities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or citizens who study at special faculties of universities during the transition to the final course of study.

Obtaining a lieutenant rank

You can get the rank of lieutenant:

1. Junior lieutenants, after they have completed their due date, or those who have completed their studies at universities without reference to the term of service.
2. Those police officers who are already privates and graduated from the (secondary specialized educational institution) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, after which they were placed in some position of the middle command staff.
3. Full-time graduates of higher and secondary special institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
4. Citizens with VO and already working in positions of command staff.
5. Candidates with previous (and including) ranks of lieutenant colonel can be appointed as deputy ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, as well as those leaders who have been given such a right by the minister.
6. The rank of colonel is given only by the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
7. When it comes to special ranks of the senior leadership, their assignment can only be made by the president after they are presented by the minister. This must be done in the manner specified in Article 20.
8. If we talk about special ranks among the middle (and above) command staff of students in the institutions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then the assignment will be associated with the position that was before entering the university.

Move between services

During any work activity, a situation is possible when you need to move to another team. In this case, it may turn out that the new service differs in its structure by the name of the posts. When an employee transfers between services where other special titles are established, their assignment will take place in the previously discussed order. But the new cannot be lower than what is already being translated.

Obtaining a rank for aircraft leaving the reserve

If a person applying for a job is already in the reserve of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, then upon appointment it is necessary to assign him a similar military rank.

When a reserve officer enters the service, the first special rank can immediately be one step higher than his military one. This is possible in those cases when the sum of the duration of military service and being in the reserve creates the necessary periods of stay at the previous level.

Early rank

If an employee distinguished himself by some achievement, showed high results in the process of service, then as an encouragement he has the opportunity to immediately get the next level than the one he originally applied for. Or the receipt of the position after the current title may occur ahead of schedule than is required by the deadlines. As usual, such assignments for the junior staff are made by the authorities, who have a similar right, and the higher - by the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If an employee is under internal control, there is a disciplinary sanction, or a criminal case has been initiated, then the next rank is not assigned to him until one of the listed conditions is canceled.

Good afternoon.
