Ranks and insignia of NATO

Ranks and insignia of NATO are combined military insignia used by the member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

The rank scale is used for specifying posts within NATO.

Definitions

NATO maintains a "standard rank scale" in an attempt to match every member country's military rank to corresponding ranks used by the other members. The rank categories were established in the document STANAG 2116, formally titled NATO Codes for Grades of Military Personnel. There are two scales, though not all member countries use all the points on the NATO scales and some have more than one rank at some points (e.g. many forces have two ranks at OF-1, usually lieutenants):

  • OF1–OF10 (bottom to top) are used for officers.
  • OR1–OR9 (bottom to top) are used for other ranks.
  • WO1–WO5 (bottom to top) are used for United States warrant officers only; other countries use only regular officer ranks, do not have warrant officers, or warrant officers are considered as other ranks or enlisted rank (for example a British Army WO1 is coded as OR-9).

    Sometimes I feel like I’ll never win
    Me and my guitar are stuck again
    I’ve been searching everywhere, trying to pull things
    from the air
    She said, I can help you there
    Write about me
    Tell me you love me
    Write about me
    Tell me a story
    Just sing a love song so I can sing along
    Write about me
    But make it a good one
    Simple and free
    A sentimental melody
    If a little inspiration is all that you need, then
    Write about me
    So I took up her advice
    I’ll never make that same mistake twice
    ‘Cause she never liked the song, now we barely get
    along
    How can I turn this right from wrong
    Write about me
    Tell me you love me
    Write about me
    Tell me a story
    Just sing a love song so I can sing along
    Write about me
    But make it a good one
    Simple and free
    A sentimental melody
    If a little inspiration is all that you need
    Yeah
    Open your heart, tear down the wall
    What are you waiting for?
    Well there’s a rhyme for words I cannot find
    So what I’m I to talk about this time …
    Write about me
    Tell me you love me
    Write about me
    Tell me a story
    Just sing a love song
    And the world will sing along
    Write about me
    But make it a good one
    Simple and free
    Together with some harmony
