Recommended rank structure

In another thread I reccomended that there be additional EM ranks - so personel could have additional promotions but not be put into a NCO/PO slot too quickly


My recommendation

Pay Scale Rank Typical position

E-1 Basic Recruit Squad member
E-2 Recruit Squad member
E-3 Senior Recruit Squad member
E-4 Private 3rd Class Squad member
E-5 Private 2nd Class Squad member
E-6 Private 1st Class Squad member
E-7 Senior Private Squad member

Jr NCO
N-1 Lance Corporal Ast Sq leader
N-2 Corporal Squad Leader
N-3 Sergeant Asst Plt Sgt
N-4 Staff Sgt Plt Sgt

Senior NCO
N-5 Sgt First Class Plt Sgt
N-6 Master Sgt Staff NCO / First SGT
N-7 Sgt Major Staff NCO at Bde /// Bn / BDE CSM
N-8 Sgt Major Staff NCO at Div or above / DIV/Corps CSM
