The rank of staff captain is determined by the Federal President with the order of the Federal President on the rank designations and the uniform of the soldiers on the basis of the Soldiers Act .

Authority to command and positions

In the Bundeswehr, the staff captain is an officer rank who, according to the Central Service Regulation (ZDv) A-1420/24 "Ranks and Rank Groups", belongs to the rank group of the captains . Because they belong to the rank group of captains, soldiers in the rank of staff captain can issue orders to soldiers of the rank groups of men , non-commissioned officers with and without porters and lieutenants on the basis of § 4 ("Superiors relationship based on the rank of rank") of the Superiors Ordinance within the limits set there .

Staff captains are rarely used in the troops as military leaders ( company commander , platoon leader , etc.). More often, they lead to prominent posts in agencies such as (higher) command authorities , in the ministry , in offices or in military engineering departments, mostly specialist departments or specialist subdivisions that deal with specialist issues in armaments , logistics and personnel planning , material testing , material maintenance , flight operations or the air traffic control deal. On the basis of these and similar positions, soldiers with the rank of staff captain can issue orders to all soldiers who are officially or professionally subordinate in the cases listed in the superior ordinance. As unit commanders, company commanders are the disciplinary superior of the soldiers who are subordinate to them in accordance with the military disciplinary code .

Appointment, salary and age limit

The decisive legal basis for the appointment as staff captain is in the Soldiers' Career Ordinance (SLV) and in addition the Central Service Regulations (ZDv) 20/7. The rank is relatively rare in the Bundeswehr. To rank staff captain professional soldiers and can ordered reservists are appointed. The requirement is that they belong to the two career paths of officers or reserve officers in the military service . The rank can be reached at the earliest 14½ years after appointment as lieutenant and 5½ years after appointment as captain.

Equivalent, subordinate and superior ranks

Only army and air force uniform bearers hold the rank of staff captain . Navy uniform bearers of the same rank hold the rank of Lieutenant Staff Captain. In the armed forces of NATO , the chief of staff is equivalent to all ranks with the NATO rank code OF-2.

According to ZDv 20/7, ZDv 14/5 and Soldiers' Career Ordinance, the staff captain is ranked one rank above the lower-ranking captain or captainleutnant (first rank designation for army and air force uniforms; second rank designation for naval uniforms). According to the Soldiers' Career Ordinance, the Staff Captain is the top rank in the two career paths for officers in the military service. Therefore, in the sense of the Soldiers' Career Ordinance, there is no higher rank in this career. In accordance with the order of the Federal President and ZDv 14/5, staff captains are assigned a rank below the higher-ranking major or corvette captain (first rank designation for army and air force uniforms; second rank designation for naval uniforms).
