(Rkt): A Rekrut is the 19te’s entry position of the regiment, the member has officially passed the applicant stage into joining the ranks. The person will be promoted to Soldat when they demonstrate a good understanding of our formations and regiment in its entirety.
(Sdt): A Soldat is an official soldier of the 19te. Soldats have a basic understanding of formations and the organization of the regiment. They are known my some members and come to events consistently.
(Gmr): A Gemeiner is classified as an exceptional Soldat who have progressed through their learning of basic commands and are working on understanding the organization of the regiment better, taking leadership in a pinch, and learning the more complex formations. These men differ from Gefreiters in that they still have things to learn, but are well on their way. | (Gfr): Gefreiters are members that understand all ranks and, for the most part, ranking structure. They rarely falter and demonstrate their understanding by taking commanding positions when all officers are down. These men are allotted opportunities such as having a designation at this point of their career.
(Ofr): Obergefreiters are our most seasoned soldiers. They conduct themselves without flaw, know all formations and the organization of the regiment, and are the perfect example for newer members. This prestige rank is for only those members who have shown themselves worthy of such an honor.
(Uffz): Unteroffiziers are newly-commissioned officers. They look after the lower ranking members by ensuring they follow orders, display good conduct, and maintain discipline within the ranks. They are beginning their career in leading the line, conducting trainings, and assisting in general administrative items. They are also seen as a point of contact for recruitment, events, or other items that newer members may be interested in learning.
(Fw): Feldwebels are our senior NCOs. They look after the Unteroffiziers and assist the Leutnants with administrative items. They are trusted officers that lead trainings and linebattles, assist in creating events, and typically are entrusted with much more responsibility, should they be interested (e.g., forum management). Furthermore, they typically handle the unruly or ill-disciplined members, if necessary. | (Lt): Leutnants are the first executive rank in the officer corps. They lead the administrative duties such as linebattles, forum/website management, relations with other regiments, and are a standard of our core values in the regiment. They work together with the other officer corps to hand out tasks as necessary and continually think of ideas to better serve the regiment.
(Olt): The Oberleutnant is the “Lead Leutnant”. Instead of being second-in-command he is the chosen Leutnant to guide the rest. The Oberleutnant is well-respected inside and outside of the regiment and will work in tandem with the Hauptmann to make decisions and follow through with action.
(Hptm): The Hauptmann is the leader of the regiment, who gathers the opinions of other officers and, though not being a “tyrannical position,” ultimately has the final say and runs the show. |
