The Bundeswehr will introduce the two new ranks of corporal and staff corporal on October 1, 2021 . It is initially a pilot project.

Authority to command and positions

In the Bundeswehr, soldiers in the rank group of the teams can never issue orders based on their rank alone on the basis of Section 4 (“Superiors relationship based on rank”) of the Superiors Ordinance. Even in emergency situations, team ranks cannot declare themselves to be superiors according to § 6 ("Superiors relationship based on their own declaration") of the Superiors Ordinance.

After completing their training, crews are employed, for example, as drivers , as infantrymen , in security or as operators of weapons systems (e.g. as gunner of armored vehicles ), as mechanics or in staff departments . Experienced enlisted personnel are often trainers, squad leader or (but then usually only temporarily by § 5 ( "superior special relationship due arrangement") of the superior regulation ) group leaders and are used on staff and specialized items that require considerable expertise and experience. On the basis of this and similar positions, even teams in the lowest rank can issue orders to all soldiers who are officially or professionally subordinate in the cases listed in the Supervisor Ordinance and within the limits specified there.

Appointment and remuneration

Relevant legal basis for the appointment to one of the ranks of the rank group of the teams is made by the Soldiers' Career Ordinance (SLV) and in addition the Central Service Regulations (ZDv) 20/7. In a corresponding rank to regular soldiers , voluntary military service and ordered reservists are appointed. Soldiers in the rank group of the crews can belong to any of the three career groups (one of the careers of the career groups of officers , NCOs or men). Rank in the rank group of the teams is always the lowest rank . The ranks Ober- , Haupt- , Stab- and Oberstabsgefreiter do not have to be passed and can be "skipped" in all careers; As a rule, soldiers of the team careers pass through the ranks in the order of Gefreiter , Obergefreiter, Hauptgefreiter , Stabsgefreiter , Oberstabsgefreiter. According to the careers listed as a rule in the Soldiers' Career Ordinance, teams in the other career groups serve first in the lowest team rank, then in the ranks of private and corporal corporal, before they move up to the rank group of non-commissioned officers .

Soldiers on time in a rank of the teams will depend on the rank and service position by the Federal pay regulation (BBesO) with A3 to A5 mA remunerated . Instead, those doing voluntary military service and reservists are given military pay according to the Military Pay Act .

history

The higher-ranking enlisted Stabsgefreiter and upper Stabsgefreiter were (StGefr) and 23 February 1996 (OStGefr) into the Bundeswehr until December 20, 1989th In the last six months of military service , those doing basic military service were usually promoted to private. In the previous nine months of military service, those doing basic military service were usually promoted to the rank of corporal. Voluntary military service (also called: voluntarily long-term service) could be promoted to the rank of corporal in their service period of up to 23 months. The higher ranks of the crew were reserved for the soldiers on a temporary basis.

Rank badge

The rank badge of the teams shows one or more diagonal stripes as shoulder badges or as sleeve badges on the upper sleeves (sleeve badges only for navy uniform wearers). The rank badges of the private have a diagonal stripe, that of the Obergefreiten two etc. Soldiers in the lowest rank have no rank badges.

Career group of the teams

Regardless of the rank group of the teams, according to the Soldiers' Career Ordinance, six careers are combined to form the career group of the teams . Soldiers who do not aspire to non-commissioned officers or officers are assigned to this rank group. Incidentally, not all soldiers belong to the rank group of the teams in the career group of the teams. Instead, they are assigned to the career group of officers or the career group of NCOs .

Equivalent rank groups

The rank group of the crews includes the NATO rank code from OR-1 to OR-4. There is no exact equivalent to the rank group of the teams in other armed forces . If the NATO rank code is taken into account, the grades of the team in the Swiss Army form a similar group, while in the Federal Army soldiers of this hierarchy level are grouped together as recruits and batches .

Unofficial names

In the Navy, regardless of the actual rank, all crews on board ships are sometimes referred to as sailors , some as guests .

Remarks

  1. ↑ Note: The Bundeswehr describes all soldiers who wear the uniform of the respective armed forces as army or air force or naval uniform wearers. The term also includes soldiers outside the three armed forces, for example in the armed forces base , cf. Training as reserve officer candidate in military service. Federal Office for Personnel Management of the Bundeswehr (BAPersBw) - The President., March 13, 2014, accessed on March 26, 2014 .
  2. ↑ In practice it is very rare to “skip” ranks, and especially to skip several ranks at once. The prerequisite is that the other conditions of the Soldiers' Career Ordinance for the appointment to a higher rank are met, especially with regard to the length of service. Usually soldiers through the team races ranks within the usual order corporal , corporal, lance corporal , Corporal , Upper Stabsgefreiter . If teams of the career groups of officers and NCOs do not pass through the higher ranks and instead move up to the rank group of NCOs without porter at an early stage, as is the rule in the Soldiers' Career Ordinance, then one does not speak of "skipping".
