Chevron 26 - Stargate SGC: Military ranks

Chevron 26 :: Stargate SG-1 :: SGC ::

The SGC is an USAF program.
Here are some pictures of the status at the US Airforce.

All of the here represented rank titles originated in Europe during the Middle Ages.

Private	having attained no title of rank, a 'private soldier'
Corporal	influenced by 'corps'; head, chief
Sergeant	servant; attendant upon a knight in the field
Lieutenant	an officer representing and exercising powers on behalf of his lord or sovereign
Captain	an officer entrusted with a command or fort under a sovereign or general
Colonel	an officer commanding a 'column' of soldiers and support trains
General	originally meant to be of similar 'birth' or 'class' with the sovereign; the more recent use is to be familiar with all facets of the army, no longer a specialist in one area, a 'general officer'
