Junior commissioned officerJunior Commissioned Officer (JCO) is a term used for a group of military ranks which is higher than havildar (non-commissioned officer) and lower than lieutenant (commissioned officer). The term is only used by Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. Senior havildars are promoted to JCO rank on the basis of merit and seniority, restricted by the number of vacancies. JCOs are treated as a separate class and hold additional privileges.
RisaldarRisaldar, meaning the commander of a risala or risalah (a body of horse, regardless if troop or regiment) in Persian, is a mid-level rank in cavalry and armoured units of the Indian and Pakistan Army. In other arms, such as the infantry, the equivalent rank is subedar. Risaldar was also a Viceroy's commissioned officer's rank in the British Indian Army, until 1947. The Indian Army and Pakistan Army have a unique set of ranks, called junior commissioned officers (JCO). They stand between non-commissioned officers and commissioned officers.
Armée de terre pakistanaiseL'armée de terre pakistanaise (پاکستان فوج) est la composante terrestre des forces armées pakistanaises. Les racines de son existence moderne remontent à l'armée indienne britannique qui a cessé d'exister à la suite de la partition de l'Inde britannique, aboutissant à l'acte parlementaire qui a établi l'indépendance du Pakistan (en tant que Dominion du Pakistan) du Royaume-Uni le 14 août 1947.
Viceroy's commissioned officerA viceroy's commissioned officer (VCO) was a senior Indian member of the Indian Army, during the British Raj. VCOs were senior in rank to warrant officers in the British Army, and held a commission issued by the viceroy. Also known as "Indian officers" or "native officers", they had authority only over Indian troops and were subordinate to all British King's (resp. Queen's) commissioned officers (KCO resp. QCO), Indian Commissioned Officers (ICO) and King's commissioned Indian officers (KCIO).
Armée de terre indienneL'armée de terre indienne est la composante terrestre des forces armées indiennes. Le Président de l'Inde est le commandant suprême de l'armée indienne, et sa tête professionnelle est le chef de l'armée (COAS), qui est un général quatre étoiles. Deux officiers ont reçu le grade de Field marshal, un grade cinq étoiles, ce qui est un poste de cérémonie de grand honneur. L'armée indienne est issue des armées de la Compagnie des Indes orientales, qui est finalement devenue l'armée indienne britannique, et des armées des États princiers, qui fusionnèrent dans l'armée nationale après l'indépendance.
