Uniform Insignia Forum

i am trying to come up with rank insignia and titles for a Revolutionary Guards, a socialist rebel army, that having won the civil war, in most part (propaganda can do marvelouse things lol), are now an elite military force, sort of like the Waffen SS, because of their link to the ruling party. so i guess im going for and SS/soviet, socialist type feel, if you can follow my meaning. perhaps using words like "general", "colonel" and "captain" but with a more position based rank titles.

any help would be nice. thanks in advance.

Hey, I did look into this problem as well, however, from position of Star Wars, where my ranks correspond to these of real Waffen-SS.
E.1. Storm Trooper O.1. Under Storm Leader
E.2. Able Trooper O.2. Storm Leader
E.3. Leading Trooper O.3. Chief Storm Leader
E.4. Master Trooper O.4. Senior Storm Leader
E.5. Master Standart Trooper O.5. Storm Banner Leader
E.6. Field Standart Trooper O.6. Chief Banner Leader
W.O.1. Storm Specialist O.7. Standart Banner Leader
W.O.2. Chief Storm Specialist O.8. Brigadeer Standart Leader
O.9. Devisional Standart Leader
O.10. Group Standart Leader
O.11. Storm Commander

I hope this helps, Zibster.

Sort of translated, is that diffical to understand?

Lordziba, or any one else for that matter, could u please post some more rank structures u have, that may be suitable for the same Revolutionary Guard. i was looking for something that doesnt typically follow army naming patterns, though not as ss based as ur other post (which was also interesting)

so far i have
O-11 Commandant General (of the Revolutionary Guard)
O-10 General
O-9 Corpscommandant
O-8 Divisionaire
O-7 Brigadier

but i get stuck around there with the enlisted ranks, so any help would be great

thanks

ok how does this look, just of the top of my head

O-6 Senoir Commander
O-5 Commander
O-4 Sub-Commander
O-3 Senior Officer
O-2 Officer
O-1 Sub-Officer

E-9 Troop Leader
E-8 Assistant Troop Leader
E-7 Section Leader
E-6 Assistant Section Leader
E-5 Squad Leader
E-4 Assistant Squad Leader
E-3 Team Leader
E-2 Assistant Team Leader
E-1 Guard

note E1,E8 and E9 are ranks in Freedom Party guards(from Timeline-191 series) The officer ranks are basic.

Not Nessesrly: Could be normal ranks:

NCO: Officers:

1. Gurasman 1. Subaltern
2. First ranker 2. Ensign
3. Guard Corporal 3. First Ensignt
4. Sergeant 4. Ensign-Commandant
5. Banner Sergeant 5. Commandant
6. Senior Banner Sergeant 6. Banner Commandant
7. Estandart-Major 7. Colonel-Commandant
8. Estandart-Major at Guard 8. Estandart-Commandant
9. First Commandant
10.Commandant of Revolutionary Guard [hr]

thanks for the help guys...i actually had two stages of the RG in mind the first pre and during the civil war and one after power is consolidated and victory is indeed sweet lol.

for the first version i was thinking a very simple organization as the RG is the military wing of a small-ish party (or rather the party is the political voice of the RG). so i have
O-10 Commandant General
O-9 General O-6 Senior Force Commander O-3 Group Commander
O-8 Theatre Commander O-5 Force Commander O-2 Company Commander
O-7 Front Commander O-4 Strike Commander O-1 Junior Company
Commander

E-6 Chief Section Leader E-5 Senior Section Leader E-4 Section Leader
E-3 Junior Section Leader E-2 Senior Guardsman E-1 Guardsman
