-# The Common Core Ontologies (CCO)
+## RECENT NEWS
+The modernization of repository artifacts, issues, and documentation is underway:
+* Initial cleanup is expected to be completed by **June 30, 2026**.
+* The first wave of major structural changes (3.0) is expected to be released by **December 31, 2026** and will incorporate GeoSPARQL, QUDT, and the refactoring of information.
+* The second wave of major structural changes (4.0) is expected to be released **June 30, 2027**.
-[](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies/actions/workflows/manage_release.yml)
-[](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies?tab=BSD-3-Clause-1-ov-file)
-[](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies/releases/tag/v2.0-2024-11-06)
+It is the recommendation of the CCO Governance Board that users wait to update following 4.0 release. In the meantime, users who would like to use versions of CCO with the up-to-date changes, are directed to pull from the 'develop' branch. For a high-level overview of planned updates, see the milestones displayed below. See here for an accompanying [slide deck](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies/blob/develop/documentation/user-guides/Beverley%20-%20P%26G%20CCO%20Modernization%20Brief.pptx).
+
+
-***IMPORTANT NOTE***
-Starting with version 2.0, CCO IRIs are using a new namespace and have opaque local identifiers for all ontology elements.
-See [here](https://github.com/CommonCoreOntology/CommonCoreOntologies/tree/develop/documentation/mapping-new-iris) for the mapping file.

+generate_cco_iris.py — Regenerates per-IRI Turtle files for CCO IRI resolution.
+
+Cloudflare redirects requests for https://www.commoncoreontologies.org/ont0000XXXX
+to src/cco-iris/ont0000XXXX.ttl on the develop branch. This script regenerates
+all of those files from the current merged ontology using ROBOT (OWL API), so the
+output format is identical to the hand-generated originals.
+
+Each output file is produced by:
+ robot filter --input merged.ttl --term --select self --axioms all --trim false
+ annotate --ontology-iri .ttl --output .ttl
+
+Files are generated in parallel (default: 8 workers) to keep runtime under ~3 min.
+
+Usage:
+ python3 scripts/generate_cco_iris.py \\
+ --input src/cco-merged/CommonCoreOntologiesMerged.ttl \\
+ --output src/cco-iris \\
+ --robot-jar build/lib/robot.jar
+

+
+ It is well understood by the curator of this ontology that naval forces, including the U.S. Navy and British Royal Navy, use the term 'rate' rather than 'rank' for all sailors below the commissioned officers in the chain of command.
+
+That said, the entities referred to as 'rates' do not differ, ontologically, in kind from ranks. The enlisted rates of sailors in the Navy determine the order of precedence of those sailors within the Navy, and so they are properly classified as ranks.
+
+Similar points apply to the classification of Chief Petty Officer and Petty Officer rates under the class 'Non-Commissioned Officer Rank'. For instance, the British Navy does not refer to its Petty Officers and Chief Petty Officers as non-commissioned officers. But ontologically speaking, they fit the definition of non-commissioned officer, and so that is why they are so classified.
+ Barry Smith
+ Shane Babcock
+ The Military Ranks Ontology is an ontology of military ranks and the authority roles, duties and responsibilities associated with those ranks. It also covers related entities: information content entities such as promotion recommended lists, commissions, and eligibility requirements for advancement in rank; classes representing the promotion process. It is an extension of the Common Core Ontologies and the Joint Doctrine Ontology.

+
+The official OBI definition, explaining the meaning of a class or property: 'Shall be Aristotelian, formalized and normalized. Can be augmented with colloquial definitions' is terrible.
+
+Can you fix to something like:
+
+A statement of necessary and sufficient conditions explaining the meaning of an expression referring to a class or property.
+
+Alan Ruttenberg
+
+Your proposed definition is a reasonable candidate, except that it is very common that necessary and sufficient conditions are not given. Mostly they are necessary, occasionally they are necessary and sufficient or just sufficient. Often they use terms that are not themselves defined and so they effectively can't be evaluated by those criteria.
+
+On the specifics of the proposed definition:
+
+We don't have definitions of 'meaning' or 'expression' or 'property'. For 'reference' in the intended sense I think we use the term 'denotation'. For 'expression', I think we you mean symbol, or identifier. For 'meaning' it differs for class and property. For class we want documentation that let's the intended reader determine whether an entity is instance of the class, or not. For property we want documentation that let's the intended reader determine, given a pair of potential relata, whether the assertion that the relation holds is true. The 'intended reader' part suggests that we also specify who, we expect, would be able to understand the definition, and also generalizes over human and computer reader to include textual and logical definition.
+
+Personally, I am more comfortable weakening definition to documentation, with instructions as to what is desirable.
+
+We also have the outstanding issue of how to aim different definitions to different audiences. A clinical audience reading chebi wants a different sort of definition documentation/definition from a chemistry trained audience, and similarly there is a need for a definition that is adequate for an ontologist to work with.

+ The 'has subordinate rank' is not equivalent to the broader relation of being higher in rank. The 'has subordinate rank' relation does not hold between each succession of rank. For instance, cases where rank 1 is directly above rank 2 in a particular armed force, but there is no relation of authority. Where we have two non-commanding ranks where one is higher only because it has greater responsibilities. For instance, the low level Air Force ranks of Airman Basic, Airman, and Airman First Class.

+ This relation holds between two ranks within the same military service (e.g. between 'Air Force General Rank' and 'Air Force Lieutenant General Rank'.)
+
+But we also need to be able to say that an Army General is one rank higher than the ranks of an Air Force Lieutenant General, Marine Corps Lieutenant General, Space Force Lieutenant General, as well as Navy Vice Admiral. Which is why I created the parent class 'is one rank higher than'. Saying that a rank is directly above another seems to imply (to me at least) a closer relationship, such as that between ranks within the same service. That said, I am willing to be convinced otherwise, in which case we would obsolete 'is one rank higher than' and only use 'is military rank directly above'.

+
+ Where x is a Military Rank within military service branch t, y is a Military Rank within another military service branch u, z is some Military Rank within u which is equivalent in rank to x, and w is some Military Rank within t which is equivalent in rank to y:
+
+x is one rank below y iff:
+
+i) z is one rank below y.
+and:
+ii) x is one rank below w.
+
+Take for instance, the rank of Specialist (x) within the U.S. Army (t) and its equivalent rank of Senior Airman (z) within the Air Force (u). Senior Airman (z) is one rank below the rank of Staff Sergeant (y) within the Air Force. But the rank of U.S. Army Specialist (x) is not one rank below the Air Force Staff Sergeant Rank (y) because U.S. Army Specialist is not one rank below U.S. Army Sergeant (w) which is the equivalent of Air Force Staff Sergeant.
+
+---------------
+
+Or:
+
+Where x is a Military Rank within military service branch t, y is a Military Rank within another military service branch u, z is some Military Rank within u which is equivalent in rank to x, and w is some Military Rank within t which is equivalent in rank to y:
+
+x is one rank below y iff:
+
+i) x is one rank below w
+and:
+ii) there is no intermediary rank between z and y within u.
+
+Let y be the rank of Army Sergeant within the Army (u), which is equivalent in rank to the Staff Sergeant rank (w) within the Air Force (t). The Air Force Senior Airman rank (x) is equivalent in rank to the Army Specialist rank (z), and the Senior Airman rank (x) is one rank below the Staff Sergeant Rank (w). But Senior Airman (x) is not one rank below Army Sergeant (y) because within the Army (u) there is an intermediary rank, Army Corporal, between Army Specialist (z) and Army Sergeant (y). Thus, Senior Airman is two ranks below Army Sergeant as it is equivalent to a rank two ranks below Army Sergeant.
+
+By contrast, consider the rank of Navy Seaman (x), and let y be the rank of Marine Corps Corporal within the Marine Corps (u), which is equivalent to the rank of Petty Officer Third Class (w) within the the Navy (t). The Navy Seaman Rank (x) is equivalent in rank to the Marine Corps Lance Corporal Rank (z), and the Navy Seaman Rank is one rank below Petty Officer Third Class (w). Furthermore, there is no intermediary rank between M.C. Lance Corporal (z) and M.C. Corporal (y) within the Marine Corps (u). And so Navy Seaman is one rank below M.C. Corporal because its Marine Corps equivalent is one rank below M.C. Corporal.
+
+The above principle has the complementary principle:
+
+Let y be the rank of Army Corporal within the Army (u), which is equivalent in rank to the Marine Corps Corporal rank (w) within the Marine Corps (t). The rank of Marine Corps Lance Corporal (x) is equivalent in rank to the Private First Class Rank (z) within the Army, and Marine Corps Lance Corporal (x) is one rank below the rank of Marine Corps Corporal (w). But Marine Corps Lance Corporal is not one rank below the Army Corporal rank (y). And this is because there is an intermediary rank, namely Army Specialist, between Army Private First Class (z) and Army Corporal (y). Thus, Marine Corps Lance Corporal is two ranks below Army Corporal (it being one rank below Army Specialist, which is one rank below Army Corporal).
+
+This principle is also applicable to the ranks of Navy and Coast Guard Seaman, which are also equivalent to Army Private First Class. These ranks are both one rank below the Navy and Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Ranks, the latter of which are both equivalents of the Army Corporal Rank. But the Navy and Coast Guard Seaman Ranks are two ranks below Army Corporal rank for the same reasons as above.
+
+-------------
+
+Where x is a Military Rank within military service branch t,
+ y is a Military Rank within another military service branch u,
+ z is some Military Rank within u which is equivalent in rank to x,
+ w is some Military Rank within t which is equivalent in rank to y, z is one rank below y,
+ and there is no Military Rank within t which is equivalent in rank to y:
+
+x is one rank below y iff:
+
+There is no rank v within t, such that v is a higher rank than x and v is a lower rank lower than y.
+
+Thus consider the Air Force Airman First Class Rank (x) within the Air Force (t), and the rank of Marine Corps Corporal (y) in the Marine Corps (u). There is no military rank within the Air Force that is equivalent in rank to the Marine Corps Corporal Rank. The Lance Corporal Rank (z) is the military rank within the Marine Corps (u) which is equivalent in rank to the Airman First Class rank (x), and the Lance Corporal Rank (z) is one rank below the Marine Corps Corporal Rank (y). But the Airman First Class rank is not one rank lower than the Marine Corps Corporal rank because there is a rank v, namely the Air Force Senior Airman Rank that is one rank higher than Airman First Class and one rank lower than Marine Corps Corporal. And for that reason, although its Marine Corps equivalent, the Lance Corporal rank, is one rank lower than the Marine Corps Corporal rank, the Airman First Class is TWO ranks lower than Marine Corps Corporal rank.
+
+Consider by contrast the rank of Senior Airman (x) within the Air Force (t) and its relation to the rank of Army Corporol (y) within the Army (u). There is no military rank within the Air Force which is equivalent in rank to the Army Corporal rank. Within the Army (u) the rank of Army Specialist (z) is equivalent in rank to the Senior Airman Rank (x), and Army Specialist (z) is one rank below the rank of Army Corporal (y). But there is no rank v within the Air Force that is higher than Senior Airman and lower than Army Corporal. And so Senior Airman is one rank below that of Army Corporal.

+ Occurrent
+ An entity that has temporal parts and that happens, unfolds or develops through time.
+ BFO 2 Reference: every occurrent that is not a temporal or spatiotemporal region is s-dependent on some independent continuant that is not a spatial region
+ BFO 2 Reference: s-dependence obtains between every process and its participants in the sense that, as a matter of necessity, this process could not have existed unless these or those participants existed also. A process may have a succession of participants at different phases of its unfolding. Thus there may be different players on the field at different times during the course of a football game; but the process which is the entire game s-depends_on all of these players nonetheless. Some temporal parts of this process will s-depend_on on only some of the players.
+ Occurrent doesn't have a closure axiom because the subclasses don't necessarily exhaust all possibilites. An example would be the sum of a process and the process boundary of another process.
+ Simons uses different terminology for relations of occurrents to regions: Denote the spatio-temporal location of a given occurrent e by 'spn[e]' and call this region its span. We may say an occurrent is at its span, in any larger region, and covers any smaller region. Now suppose we have fixed a frame of reference so that we can speak not merely of spatio-temporal but also of spatial regions (places) and temporal regions (times). The spread of an occurrent, (relative to a frame of reference) is the space it exactly occupies, and its spell is likewise the time it exactly occupies.

+ p is a process = Def. p is an occurrent that has temporal proper parts and for some time t, p s-depends_on some material entity at t. (axiom label in BFO2 Reference: [083-003])
+ BFO 2 Reference: The realm of occurrents is less pervasively marked by the presence of natural units than is the case in the realm of independent continuants. Thus there is here no counterpart of ‘object’. In BFO 1.0 ‘process’ served as such a counterpart. In BFO 2.0 ‘process’ is, rather, the occurrent counterpart of ‘material entity’. Those natural – as contrasted with engineered, which here means: deliberately executed – units which do exist in the realm of occurrents are typically either parasitic on the existence of natural units on the continuant side, or they are fiat in nature. Thus we can count lives; we can count football games; we can count chemical reactions performed in experiments or in chemical manufacturing. We cannot count the processes taking place, for instance, in an episode of insect mating behavior.Even where natural units are identifiable, for example cycles in a cyclical process such as the beating of a heart or an organism’s sleep/wake cycle, the processes in question form a sequence with no discontinuities (temporal gaps) of the sort that we find for instance where billiard balls or zebrafish or planets are separated by clear spatial gaps. Lives of organisms are process units, but they too unfold in a continuous series from other, prior processes such as fertilization, and they unfold in turn in continuous series of post-life processes such as post-mortem decay. Clear examples of boundaries of processes are almost always of the fiat sort (midnight, a time of death as declared in an operating theater or on a death certificate, the initiation of a state of war)

+ BFO 2 Reference: One major family of examples of non-rigid universals involves roles, and ontologies developed for corresponding administrative purposes may consist entirely of representatives of entities of this sort. Thus ‘professor’, defined as follows,b instance_of professor at t =Def. there is some c, c instance_of professor role & c inheres_in b at t.denotes a non-rigid universal and so also do ‘nurse’, ‘student’, ‘colonel’, ‘taxpayer’, and so forth. (These terms are all, in the jargon of philosophy, phase sortals.) By using role terms in definitions, we can create a BFO conformant treatment of such entities drawing on the fact that, while an instance of professor may be simultaneously an instance of trade union member, no instance of the type professor role is also (at any time) an instance of the type trade union member role (any more than any instance of the type color is at any time an instance of the type length).If an ontology of employment positions should be defined in terms of roles following the above pattern, this enables the ontology to do justice to the fact that individuals instantiate the corresponding universals – professor, sergeant, nurse – only during certain phases in their lives.

+ FiatObjectPart
+ or with divisions drawn by cognitive subjects for practical reasons, such as the division of a cake (before slicing) into (what will become) slices (and thus member parts of an object aggregate). However, this does not mean that fiat object parts are dependent for their existence on divisions or delineations effected by cognitive subjects. If, for example, it is correct to conceive geological layers of the Earth as fiat object parts of the Earth, then even though these layers were first delineated in recent times, still existed long before such delineation and what holds of these layers (for example that the oldest layers are also the lowest layers) did not begin to hold because of our acts of delineation.Treatment of material entity in BFOExamples viewed by some as problematic cases for the trichotomy of fiat object part, object, and object aggregate include: a mussel on (and attached to) a rock, a slime mold, a pizza, a cloud, a galaxy, a railway train with engine and multiple carriages, a clonal stand of quaking aspen, a bacterial community (biofilm), a broken femur. Note that, as Aristotle already clearly recognized, such problematic cases – which lie at or near the penumbra of instances defined by the categories in question – need not invalidate these categories. The existence of grey objects does not prove that there are not objects which are black and objects which are white; the existence of mules does not prove that there are not objects which are donkeys and objects which are horses.

+ BFO 2 Reference: BFO rests on the presupposition that at multiple micro-, meso- and macroscopic scales reality exhibits certain stable, spatially separated or separable material units, combined or combinable into aggregates of various sorts (for example organisms into what are called ‘populations’). Such units play a central role in almost all domains of natural science from particle physics to cosmology. Many scientific laws govern the units in question, employing general terms (such as ‘molecule’ or ‘planet’) referring to the types and subtypes of units, and also to the types and subtypes of the processes through which such units develop and interact. The division of reality into such natural units is at the heart of biological science, as also is the fact that these units may form higher-level units (as cells form multicellular organisms) and that they may also form aggregates of units, for example as cells form portions of tissue and organs form families, herds, breeds, species, and so on. At the same time, the division of certain portions of reality into engineered units (manufactured artifacts) is the basis of modern industrial technology, which rests on the distributed mass production of engineered parts through division of labor and on their assembly into larger, compound units such as cars and laptops. The division of portions of reality into units is one starting point for the phenomenon of counting.
+ BFO 2 Reference: Each object is such that there are entities of which we can assert unproblematically that they lie in its interior, and other entities of which we can assert unproblematically that they lie in its exterior. This may not be so for entities lying at or near the boundary between the interior and exterior. This means that two objects – for example the two cells depicted in Figure 3 – may be such that there are material entities crossing their boundaries which belong determinately to neither cell.

+ BFO 2 Reference: To say that b is causally unified means: b is a material entity which is such that its material parts are tied together in such a way that, in environments typical for entities of the type in question,if c, a continuant part of b that is in the interior of b at t, is larger than a certain threshold size (which will be determined differently from case to case, depending on factors such as porosity of external cover) and is moved in space to be at t at a location on the exterior of the spatial region that had been occupied by b at t, then either b’s other parts will be moved in coordinated fashion or b will be damaged (be affected, for example, by breakage or tearing) in the interval between t and t.causal changes in one part of b can have consequences for other parts of b without the mediation of any entity that lies on the exterior of b. Material entities with no proper material parts would satisfy these conditions trivially. Candidate examples of types of causal unity for material entities of more complex sorts are as follows (this is not intended to be an exhaustive list):CU1: Causal unity via physical coveringHere the parts in the interior of the unified entity are combined together causally through a common membrane or other physical covering\. The latter points outwards toward and may serve a protective function in relation to what lies on the exterior of the entity [13, 47

+ BFO 2 Reference: In BFO 1.1 the assumption was made that the external surface of a material entity such as a cell could be treated as if it were a boundary in the mathematical sense.

To be dealt with in a future version: fiat boundaries at different levels of granularity.More generally, the focus in discussion of boundaries in BFO 2.0 is now on fiat boundaries, which means: boundaries for which there is no assumption that they coincide with physical discontinuities. The ontology of boundaries becomes more closely allied with the ontology of regions.

+ process-profile
+ ProcessProfile
+ On a somewhat higher level of complexity are what we shall call rate process profiles, which are the targets of selective abstraction focused not on determinate quality magnitudes plotted over time, but rather on certain ratios between these magnitudes and elapsed times. A speed process profile, for example, is represented by a graph plotting against time the ratio of distance covered per unit of time. Since rates may change, and since such changes, too, may have rates of change, we have to deal here with a hierarchy of process profile universals at successive levels
+ One important sub-family of rate process profiles is illustrated by the beat or frequency profiles of cyclical processes, illustrated by the 60 beats per minute beating process of John’s heart, or the 120 beats per minute drumming process involved in one of John’s performances in a rock band, and so on. Each such process includes what we shall call a beat process profile instance as part, a subtype of rate process profile in which the salient ratio is not distance covered but rather number of beat cycles per unit of time. Each beat process profile instance instantiates the determinable universal beat process profile. But it also instantiates multiple more specialized universals at lower levels of generality, selected from rate process profilebeat process profileregular beat process profile3 bpm beat process profile4 bpm beat process profileirregular beat process profileincreasing beat process profileand so on.In the case of a regular beat process profile, a rate can be assigned in the simplest possible fashion by dividing the number of cycles by the length of the temporal region occupied by the beating process profile as a whole. Irregular process profiles of this sort, for example as identified in the clinic, or in the readings on an aircraft instrument panel, are often of diagnostic significance.
+ The simplest type of process profiles are what we shall call ‘quality process profiles’, which are the process profiles which serve as the foci of the sort of selective abstraction that is involved when measurements are made of changes in single qualities, as illustrated, for example, by process profiles of mass, temperature, aortic pressure, and so on.

+ A Role that is realized by Acts which create, modify, transfer, or eliminate Action Regulations or other Authority Roles, and inheres in an Agent in virtue of collective acceptance of that Agent's ability to issue binding directives.
+ Authority Roles are externally grounded in a social group's collective acceptance of the binding force of the agent's directives. This acceptance can be direct or indirect (e.g., by accepting a procedure for deputizing authority). Such collective acceptance need not be explicit or cognized; rather, collective acceptance can be expressed in the dispositions and attitudes of people toward that agent's directives. In many cases, the directives issued by Authority Roles are backed by threats of punishment or sanction for failure to comply, but the issuing of a directive plus a threat is not sufficient for authority. Rather, an agent's authority must be accepted either directly or indirectly through the acceptance of a procedure for bestowing authority (e.g., elections).

+ ICE
+ A Generically Dependent Continuant that generically depends on some Information Bearing Entity and stands in relation of aboutness to some Entity.
+ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/IAO_0000030
+ Information Content Entity is here intended to be a class of Entities whose instances are the informational content of Information Bearing Entities. For example, three instances of information bearers -- such as a bar chart, color-coded map, and a written report -- each of which lists the GDP of Countries for the year 2010 are each different carriers of the same information content. It is this content that is generically dependent upon its carrier. This treatment of Informational Content Entity (cf. the Information Artifact Ontology) leads to a principle of subtyping based upon the relationship that ICE's have with the Entity they are about rather than characteristics such as format, language, measurement scale, or media. The latter are treated here as being Qualities of bearers.

+ Unlike officer promotions to the ranks of CPT - MG, promotions to the rank of 1LT are not centralized, but are rather processed at the unit level by the 2LT's commanding officer. Promotions to the rank of 1LT do not require the convening of centralized promotion selection boards. Promotions are pretty much automatic for all 2LTs if they have performed their duties exceptionally and meet the TIG requirement.
+
+If the automated system has recommended an officer for promotion, but the promotion approval authority does not consider the officer to be qualified for promotion, then they must flag the officer in the automated system in order to disapprove of promotion and avoid an inadverdent promotion. See AR600-8-29, 3-17d-e.
+
+If the automated system has not recommended an officer for promotion, then if promotion approval authority considers the officer to be qualified, they must process a DA Form 78 (Recommendation for Promotion to 1LT/CW2). See AR600-8-29, 3-17b.

+
+
+ Need some clause about the Flag transaction which blocks the automatic promotion of soldiers who are declined for promotion by the unit commander?
+ One could argue that the definition should say that the soldiers promoted were approved for promotion by the unit commander. I am not so sure.
+
+Suppose that there is an HR error, and some soldier who is registered in the system as meeting the TIS and TIG requirements for promotion to the next rank is not listed on the enlisted advancement report. The commander therefore doesn't approve or deny the promotion. In this case, assuming the ommission is undetected, the soldier in question will be automatically promoted.
+
+Of course, it may be the case that had the commander seen the soldier's name on the list, he may have denied the promotion, assuming he had some reason for thinking the soldier was otherwise unpromotable. But given the automated nature of these promotions, I think it should still be counted as a promotion. In this case, we would just have a promotion that is made in error. Army Regulation 600–8–19 already has rules for correcting erroneous promotions (Ch. 2, Sction IV).
+
+Or imagine that due to negligence on the part of HR, the appropriate procedures for reviewing the advancement report are not carried out. The system therefore automatically promotes all the soldiers it recognizes as meeting the eligibility requirements. There may be many soldiers that were, for whatever reason, not promotable. But this would just be another case of erroneous promotion.

+ While the Human Resources staff that processes the actual promotion (using the automated system) it is the unit commander who is the promotion authority (see paragraphs 1-8c., 1-10b., and 1-10f.(1) of Army Regulation 600–8–19). While typically any soldier in the grade of E-1, E-2 or E-3 will be automatically promoted to the next rank once they satisfy the time in service and time in grade requirements, the unit commander has the authority to deny automatic promotions. But they also have the authority to promote exceptional soldiers earlier than normal, using certain waiver provisions.
+
+On the 2nd to 5th day of the month prior to the promotion month, HR generates a unit advancement report, and screens it for any necessary corrections before sending it to the unit commander for review. The commander then selects eligible soldiers from the report for promotion by either annotating 'yes' to select, or 'no' for denial of promotion. Then, in the case of the soldiers denied for promotion by the commander, an HR specialist submits a Flag transaction into the personnel system to block their automatic promotion. [See Army Regulation 600–8–19, paragraphs 2-3d-e. and Table 2-1].

+
+ In AR600-8-29, at §3-23c(1)(a) it says an officer is eligible for brevet promoton if they "possess the knowledge, skills, behaviors and preferences for assignment to a designated critical position." At §3-23c(1)(c) "To be considered for temporary promotion, eligible officers must be serving in, or on orders to, one of the designated critical positions."
+
+I am not sure I follow understand the reference to "preferences for assignment". The second quoted sentence implies that 1LTs are only brevet promoted if they are either already serving in a critical position designated for the MAJ rank, or on order to serve in one. Preference and orders seem at odds.
+
+I know that temporary promotions are terminated once the officer leaves a qualifying position. Does it have something to do with the Army preferring not to brevet promote officers who are ordered to take on a critical position but do not have a preference for it?

+
+https://armypubs.army.mil/epubs/DR_pubs/DR_a/ARN30301-AR_600-8-29-000-WEB-1.pdf
+ Brevet promotions are part of a system. The Commanding General, Human Resources Command (CG, HRC) issues a message to unit commanders for nominations of crucial positions. They then submit reports containing their nominations to the Secretary of the Army (SECARMY). In these reports, commander provide updated information concerning the knowledge, skills, and behavior required for the position. The Director of Military Personnel and Management (DMPM) then orchestrates an HRC panel to confirm the positions as crucial. Once the SECARMY approves these confirmations, he/she designates the positions as critical on a list published by DMPM on the HRC website. Then U.S. Army First Lieutenants who possess the appropriate skills, and who either serve or will be serving in the designated critical positions, are recommended by unit commanders for brevet promotion. Brevet promotion selection boards are then held, in which the board nominates officers based on the alignment of the officer’s knowledge, skills and behavior with the requirements of the critical position. Those nominated officers who are approved for promotion by the SECARMY are then temporarily appointed by the President, with the advise and consent of the Senate, to the rank of CPT.
+
+While serving temporarily that the rank of CPT, the officer serves concurrently in their permanent grade. This means brevet-promoted officer can be considered for permanent promotion to the rank of CPT.
+
+Temporary promotions to CPT are terminated when a modification of an officer's orders render the officer no longer eligible for that rank, on the date the officer leaves the qualifying position.
+
+[See AR600-8-29 "Officer Promotions", §3–23, "Temporary (brevet) promotions"]
+ Positions are designated as critical, and are determined to be authorized for the U.S. Army Captain Rank, by the Secretary of the Army. Such position are designated as critical when there is a critical shortage of officers at the rank of Captain who possess the skills required to serve in those positions. Thus, lower ranked officers who possess the required skills are temporarily promoted to the rank of Captain to alleviate the shortage.

+ Section 624, Title 10, United States Code (10 USC 624):
+ There are two sorts of centralized promotion to the U.S. Army Captain Rank.
+
+The first uses the same procedure as in other commissioned officer promotions. A promotion selection board (PSB) is convened and the board recommends eligible U.S. Army First Lieutenants for promotion. Once the board's recommendations are approved by the Secretary of the Army (SECARMY) and by the President (or the President's designee) the eligible officers are placed on a Centralized Officer Promotion List, from which they are subsequently promoted according to the needs of the Army.
+
+The second procedure is slightly different in that promotion selection boards are not convened. From AR600-8-29, 2-13a: "When the needs of the Army require, the SECARMY may recommend the promotion of all 1LTs in the promotion zone who are fully qualified for promotion to CPT using an all-qualified officers list in lieu of convening a PSB." The records of all eligible 1LTs are reviewed by a promotion screening authority, and then the screening authority places the names of officers on a recommended all-fully qualified officers list unless the officer's file contains on or more of the documents listed in AR600-8-29, 2-13a(2)(a-e). The list is then sent to the SECARMY for approval before being transmitted to the President for approval. Once approved by the President, all the 1LTs named on the list may then be promoted from the list. This procedure is used only in cases where the SECARMY has determined that all officers named on the list are needed in the grade of CPT in order to accomplish mission objectives. See 10 USC 624(a)(3)(A-E).

+ Act of Military Commissioning
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ I have avoided language like 'soldier fully eligible for promotion' in the definitions for Acts of Promotion.
+
+Military regulations do prescribe that only fully eligible soldiers are to be promoted. But erroneous promotions -- promotions of soldiers who were in fact not fully qualified -- do happen. Such language would falsely exlclude such instances.
+ An Act of Promotion in which an Agent, realizing an Authority Role derived from that Agent's position within some Government, Military Department, or Armed Force, advances another Agent, who holds a Military Rank within some Armed Force, to a higher Military Rank.
+ A Government can be an Agent in act of promotion, for instance in the case of the President approving promotions to the commissioned officer ranks of Major and above, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The various civilian led Military Departments serve as Agents in acts of military promotion that are centralized at the headquarters of the respective military departments. But promotions also occur at the unit level, where the promotion authority is a unit commander.
+
+According to 10 USC 603: Appointments in time of war or national emergency:
+
+"In time of war, or of national emergency declared by the Congress or the President after November 30, 1980, the President may appoint any qualified person (whether or not already a member of the armed forces) to any officer grade in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Space Force, except that appointments under this section may not be made in grades above major general or rear admiral. Appointments under this section shall be made by the President alone, except that an appointment in the grade warrant officer, W–1, shall be made by warrant by the Secretary concerned."
+
+This provision allows the President to appoint to some grade of military rank a person that is not already a member of an armed force. This is not a counterexample to the definition, for an original appointment in this sense is not a promotion in military rank, just as the assignment of a newly enlisted U.S. army soldier to the rank of Private is not a promotion in rank. Similarly, when an ROTC officer cadet is newly commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army and assumes the rank of Second Lieutenant, this is not a case of a promotion in Military Rank. It is referred to only as an appointment. [The same applies the appointment of soldiers to the rank of Warrant Officer 1?]
+
+The exclusion of such cases seem to be accounted for in relevant military regulations. For instance, the AIR FORCE INSTRUCTION 36-2501, 'Officer Promotions and Selective Continuation': explicitly defines 'promotion' in its terms list as "An advancement in grade that is not the result of a new original appointment." (see p. 91)
+
+This of course raises an issue. Officer cadets have ranks, and are technically, taking on a higher Military Rank. The definition may need refinement so that it does not count this as a case of promotion.

+
+It is a sister class of 'Act of Battlefield Promotion to U.S. Army First Lieutenant Rank'.
+
+I call it normal because it is part of a normal promotion procedure (recommendation via automated system or processing of DA Form 78), but it is also a decentralized form of promotion, as promotions are made by a commander at the unit level rather than at HQDA. And technically, battlefield promotion is also a decentralized promotion executed by a LTC at the unit level.
+ A U.S. Army Promotion Approval Authority is any commander holding the U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Rank or higher, or who is frocked at the LTC Rank, and is authorized to promote an officer to the LTC rank or temporary CW2 rank.
+ An Act of Promotion to U.S. Army First Lieutenant Rank in which some U.S. Army Second Lieutenant recommended for promotion to the U.S. Army First Lieutenant Rank, either via the Army's automated promotion system or via Department of the Army Form 78, is advanced to that rank, with the approval of the President, by some local commander of the promotee who is a U.S. Army Promotion Approval Authority.

+
+Secretary of the Department concerned reviews the report, then sends it to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for review. And later sends it to the president for approval. Then the secretary places the names of those approved on a promotion list (10 USC 624)
+ AR 600–8–29, Officer Promotions, 2-11e:
+
+'The SECARMY has authorized that certain promotion selection boards convened to select officers for advancement to the grades of MAJ, LTC, and COL may recommend that officers of particular merit, from among those officers selected for promotion, be placed higher on the promotion list, and will be sequenced by their board established order of merit, rather than by their prior dates of rank. The remaining selectees on the promotion list will be promoted in order of their seniority on the ADL."
+ AR600-8-29, Officer Promotions, 3-1e:
+
+"If more than one promotion list exists for a grade and competitive category, promotions from the most recent list may not begin until promotions from the older list have been completed (except for officers from the older list whose promotion have been delayed."
+
+3-2f: promotion lists are not promotion orders. "Promotions will only be officially announced by HRC promotion orders."
+
+3-3a/b: promotion sequence numbers for officers to be promoted are announced in monthly MILPER messages by HRC. Then HRC publishes a consolidation of DA special orders which include grade an effective active date of rank.
+ Current definitions for acts of promotion to MAJ and above are worded so that the advancement to those ranks are conducted 'with the approval of the President and confirmation of the U.S. Senate.'
+
+These classes concern specifically the act of promotion. From my understanding, the act of promotion involves the publication of DA promotion order specifying the effective date of promotion, which is the Active Date of Rank prescribed on the order.
+
+From what I understand, if the Senate confirms the promotion list on which a soldier is named, then that soldier can be promoted. A promotion list is essentially a list of officers that have been recommended for promotion in the report of a promotion selection board, and have subsequently been approved for promotion by the President (or his designee) after consideration the board's report. But the actual promotion from the list doesn't happen until a need for an officer at that rank opens up. [Is this when promotion orders are published? I haven't found anything in the regulation definitively confirming that, so the timing-question is an issue].
+
+The Senate confirmation occurs prior to the publication of a promotion order. Senate confirmation then is part of the promotion process which culminates in the act of promotion.
+
+In defense of my defintions, and their claim that the agent in acts of promotion is Human Resources Command (the organization--remember organizations can be Agents in Acts):
+
+It should be noted that according to AR600-8-29:
+
+§1-6(a): promotions are general staff responsibility for the Deputy Chief of Staff (DCS), G-1.
+
+-The DSC, Gary Brito, is a LtGen in command of the Deputy Chief of Staff G-1 Personnel of the United States Army, an organization that is headquartered at the Pentagon. Human Resources Command, which is stationed at Fort Knox, is a part of the former organization.
+
+Also according to AR600-8-29:
+
+§1-4(d)(2): on behalf of the DCS, G-1, the commanding general (CG), HRC conducts and supervises officer promotion functions.
+[The DSC has delegated to the CG, HRC control over centralized Army promotions. Similar to how the President delegates his authority to approve the recommendations of promotion selection boards to the Secretary of Defense, who has delegated that authority to the Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness (§2-10a)
+
+This implies that HRC is an agent in promotions.
+ HQDA promotion orders for advancement to the U.S. Army Captain Rank or higher are announced by Human Resources Command when additional officers in those ranks are needed within each competitive category, and the order of promotions are made according to the order in which names appear on the promotion list. Officer names are placed on the promotion list in order of seniority or based on particular merit, as determined by the promotion selection board.
+
+The above is in accordance with Title 10 USC, Subtitle A, Part II, Ch. 36, Subchapter II, §624(a)(1-2)
+
+https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?hl=false&edition=prelim&req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title10-section624&num=0&saved=%7CZ3JhbnVsZWlkOlVTQy1wcmVsaW0tdGl0bGUxMC1zZWN0aW9uNjE5YQ%3D%3D%7C%7C%7C0%7Cfalse%7Cprelim
+
+See also AR600-8-29, Officer Promotions, 3-1
+ I have been trying to square what is said in Title 10 USC, Subtitle A, Part II, Ch. 36, Subchapter II, §624 with what is said in the most relevant Army regulation. In Chapter 3 of AR600-8-29, 'Officer Promotions', everything indicates that officer are promoted to the next rank from promotion lists, at least up until MAJ GEN. A promotion selection board determines which eligible soldiers are best qualified for promotion to the next rank and provides a report of their recommendation to the SECARMY for review. Eventually, this report is sent to the President for approval, or the President's designee (according to §2-10a, the President has delegated this authority to SECDEF, who in turn has designated it to the Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness). This is because in the case of officers, promotion boards are making recommendations to the president.
+
+Once the President or the president's designee approves the board report, it is compiled into a promotion list by the SECARMY, ordering names of those approved for promotion according to seniority, but also merit as determined by the promotion board. Officers are given a promotion sequence number. And then officers on the list are basically waiting their turn to be promoted. An officer cannot be promoted from the list until there is a need for an officer at the rank (such as a position vacancy that requires or authorizes that rank).
+
+As far as promotions go, I am not sure exactly where, timing-wise, the Senate confirmation part actually comes in. The Air Force regulation on officer regulations makes clear the Senate role [https://static.e-publishing.af.mil/production/1/af_a1/publication/afi36-2501/afi36-2501.pdf]. An officer cannot be promoted until the Senate confirms the promotion list that officer is named on.
+
+What I need to reconcile is this, from 10 USC: "(c) Appointments under this section shall be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate". What this is referring to is appointments in the grade of MAJ or above. What does appointment here mean? Often I see that it is different from promotion. It means appointment to an office. It does not seem that it means appointment to a rank. I gather that it just means appointment to a billet or position that is held at that grade.
+
+On the other hand, AR600-8-29, §2-10b "Promotions to the grade of MAJ and above must be confirmed by the Senate in accordance with 10 USC 624(c)" citing the title 10 clause that appointments are made by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. But I wonder if this is simply a case of the AR not making the fine-grained distinction between parts of the promotion process --such as promotion board recommendation and Senate confirmation of promotion lists, i.e. the Senate confirming that the soldiers are qualified for promotion--and the act of promotion that follows it, and is authorized by the preceding Senate confirmation of the promotion list.
+
+Of course, there are also appointments in the sense of appointments to positions within the grade. Is Senate confirmation of such position-appointments something separate?

+ The act of promotion should be distinguished from the act of promotion pin-on, a ceremonial procedure in which the rank insignia is physically pinned on, typically by another officer who is senior in rank, or by a family member of the officer promoted. This ceremony is sometimes conducted before the effective date of promotion prescribed on the promotion order.
+
+The effective date of the promotion may sometimes even be retroactive to the date on which the act of promotion occurred.

+ Exception: "The only exceptions for waivers beyond 179 days is for Airmen on
+Temporary Duty (TDYs) or deployments that exceed 179 days, short-tour locations with no EPME available, and those who cannot complete required EPME before promotion due to circumstances beyond their control (e.g., retraining, medical issues, personal hardship, Exceptional Family Member Program). (T1). The squadron commander is the approval or disapproval authority for EPME waivers (cannot be furtherdelegated). Commanders use Attachment 3 to request a promotion waiver for deserving Airmen who meet these scenarios. Route these requests through AFPC/DP2SPP. If approved, AFPC/DP2SPP will update MilPDS and, if required, will grant a retroactive effective date in accordance with paragraph 1.17. (T-1). Commanders may only approve one EPME waiver per Airman; approval authority for subsequent EPME waiver requests are at the discretion of the Directorate of Force Development (AF/A1D)."

+
+ In the Canadian Armed Forces, warrant officer ranks are a grade of ranks between the NCO ranks and the commissioned officer ranks. In the Canadian Armed Forces, all members of the military with ranks below that of commissioned officer are referred to as 'non-commissioned members'. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-commissioned_member]
+ Notably, only the Canadian Air Force and Army warrant officer ranks actually use the word 'warrant officer' in the rank titles. The Royal Canadian Navy warrant officer ranks include chief petty officer and petty officer ranks, whereas in many other navies, including the U.S. Navy and British Royal Navy, chief petty officers and petty officers are non-commissioned officers.

+ 'Officer' here refers to either a Commissioned Officer or a Warrant Officer
+
+It is a essential part of the definition that each officer on the list was selected by the same selection board. This is because the date on which the relevant selection board was convened is a factor in determining when the officers on the resulting promotion list can expect to be promoted:
+
+From USC Title 10, §624(a)(2):
+
+"Promotions shall be made in the order in which the names of officers appear on the promotion list and after officers previously selected for promotion in that competitive category have been promoted."
+
+This clause covers for scenarios in which a new promotion selection board is convened for a given rank before all of the officers that were recommended for that same rank at a previous selection board have been promoted from the corresponding promotion list. (Numerous officers named on a previous promotion list may still be waiting to be promoted as they cannot be promoted to the next higher rank until additional officers are needed in that rank).

+ true
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ According to the DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms, command authority is "The authority that a commander in the armed forces lawfully exercises over subordinates by virtue of rank or assignment."
+
+On the one hand, Article II of the U.S. Constitution grants the President command over the armed forces. On the other, the Presidency is a civilian office, and so the President is NOT a member of the armed forces. Nor does he/she have a rank. And so, if the DOD definition were taken as giving necessary and sufficient conditions, clearly the authority the President exercises doesn't fall under this definition.
+
+Yet, Army Regulation 600-20, "Army Command Policy", section 1-6 says:
+
+"a. Privilege to command. Command is exercised by virtue of office and the special assignment of members of the Armed Forces of the United States holding military grade who are eligible to exercise command. A commander is . . . a commissioned or WO [warrant officer] who, by virtue of grade and assignment, exercises primary command authority over a military organization or prescribed territorial area that under pertinent official directives is recognized as a ‘command.’… A civilian, other than the President as Commander-in-Chief (or National Command Authority), may not exercise command."
+
+This paragraph begins by claiming that those with the privilege to exercise command exercise that by virtue of their office and assignment as members of an Armed Force. This clearly implies that command is the privilege of certain members of the Armed Forces. And yet the paragraph concludes by implying that the President may exercise command. There is clearly no indication that a different type of command authority has been introduced--National Command Authority is supposed to be a subtype. This passage is clearly contradictory as it stands.

+ A Commission requires the agent to fulfill the duties of their office. Note the plural. Does the axiom handle this sort of case? Is a requirement to fulfill all duties of an office an instance of Action Requirement? Or do Action Requirements only have as instances requirements corresponding to one specific act?

+ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commission_(document)
+ This should perhaps be a subclass of Action Regulation. But not a subclass of any of the three current types.
+
+This is because the commission, on the one hand, authorizes (permits) the Agent to exercise certain powers. For instance, an officer's commission in the United States Army authorizes that officer to command units, to issue orders to subordinates.
+
+On the other hand, it imposes requirements on the officer. Thus, the officer has certain duties or responsibilities towards their subordinates.
+
+Should we say that is an instance of both Action Permission and Action Requirement?

+It seems like a DOR can be adjusted. Need to be able to deal with this. I think it means that a new calendar day takes on the feature captured by this definition.
+ Calendar Day which is either: i) the Calendar Day on which a Service Member's promotion or appointment to a particular Military Rank took effect; or ii) a Calendar Day preceding i) that is computed on the basis of relevant service credits previously accummulated by that Service Member; and which is used to determine the relative seniority of two or more Service Members holding the same Military Rank.

+https://www.armyresilience.army.mil/ard/images/pdf/Policy/600-20%20Army%20Command%20Policy.pdf
+ For instances of Date of Rank falling under disjunct ii), there are a variety of different service credits that are relevant. For example:
+
+In the case of an enlisted Service Member that retires from a given service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, and later re-enlists in that same service, prior service may be used to compute the Date of Rank.
+
+Or in the case of a U.S. Army Commissioned Officer that retires from the Army, and then enlists in the Marine Corps, prior service in the Army may be used in the computation of the Date of Rank for his or her rank in the Marine Corps.
+
+In the case of original appointments as commissioned officers in the U.S. Armed Forces, certain advanced education, training, or special experience, may be used to compute date of rank. This is referred to as 'constructive service credit', since it refers to credited service that does not constitute actual military service. [Note that in some case a combination of both constructive service credits and actual service credits are used. As in the case of a U.S. Army Captain retires --due to a reduction in force--, and later is appointed as Second Lieutenant in the Air Force after accumulating constructive service credits in the iterim.]

+ "All branches of the United States Armed Forces use the general term Enlisted Professional Military Education (EPME) to describe the formal system of education which each branch provides to its enlisted personnel. Each branch has its own system and sequence of courses, with the overall focus on leadership and management. Education generally increases in intensity and level of knowledge as individuals progress in rank and assume broader leadership roles. EPME is distinct from the technical training which service members receive for their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC), or Navy Rating."

+ Typically commands a squad sized formation, or acts as an assistant platoon NCO. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unteroffizier]
+ 'Unteroffizier' translates as 'subordinate officer'. It is equivalent to the rank of Sergeant in the U.S. Army. Has similar duties to the U.S. Army rank. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unteroffizier]
+
+Some internet sources claim that the term translates into 'sergeant, staff sergeant', though this doesn't seem to be justified. That the ranks denoted by these terms are roughly equivalent does not mean that the terms are sematically equivalent.

+ This class is intended to cover any role that someone plays in an organization, as that organization relates to the military.
+
+I was thinking primarily of accomodating the military-related roles and ranks that the U.S President and other higher ranking offices have in relation to the military.
+
+The role that the U.S President has as commander in chief falls does not fall under 'Armed Force Organization Member Role', because while the president has command authority over the military, he has no military rank and retains civilian status (he is not a member of the Armed Forces).

+ 'Offices' can be filled by persons, or they can be vacant. When a person fills some office, that person acquires a corresponding role. We do not yet have a clear sense of what the ontology of 'offices' should be. It is tempting to think of vacant offices as vacant roles, but roles cannot exist without bearers. And so we cannot say that unfilled offices are vacant roles. [this note is based on personal communication with Barry]

+One particular knotty issue. There are insignia that represent certain special billets or roles that can be held at a given rank, as opposed to separate ranks. But they are variations on the quality patterns inhering in the standard rank insignia--so it seems these must also be characterized as subtypes of rank insignia.
+
+Also, there are variations on rank insignia that represent certain achievements.
+
+For instance, the standard U.S. Navy insignia that bear the corresponding E-3, E-4, and E-5 Petty Officer Ranks are characterized by a pattern involving 1-3 red stripes. But there are also variations on these insignia patterns which make use of gold stripes, indicating 12 years of good conduct. (Gold stripes are used on the standard insignia for the E-6, E-7, E-8, and E-9 Navy Chief Petty Officers. Of course, the quality patterns of these insignia also involve non-color features which clearly demarcate them from the Petty Officer insignia).
+ Information Bearing Artifact that bears some Military Rank.
+ It is not clear that this actually fits under I.B.A.

+ In any given armed force, a Non-Officer Lance Corporal Rank is directly above the highest Private-level Rank used in that armed force, and one rank lower than the Corporal Rank used in that armed force. For example, the U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corporal Rank is directly above the U.S. Marine Corps Private First Class Rank and directly below the U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Rank.

+ Promotion to the U.S. Army First Sergeant Rank is temporary, and the rank is only held in concurrence with appointment to a First Sergeant billet. A Master Sergeant who has been laterally promoted to First Sergeant will be reassigned to the Master Sergeant Rank (unless they are being promoted to the E-9 Sergeant Major Rank) upon reassignment or attachment to positions not authorized for a First Sergeant.

+ An Action Requirement that requires an Agent, who holds a Military Rank within some Armed Force, to complete some Act in order to be eligible for promotion to the next higher Military Rank.
+ I am assuming that action requirement could be future or past tense. Meaning that it might be a requirement that an agent is to complete an action in the future, or that an agent is to have completed an action in the past. But need to double check with the CCO people.
+ I am only putting this as a direct subclass of Action Requirement for now. There may be intermediary superclasses which I have not thought of.
+
+We may ask CCO to add a subclass 'Defeasible Action Requirement'. But 'Requirement for Promotion in Military Rank' cannot be a subclass of that since not all requirements are defeasible. Nor do I want to have separate hierarchies for promotion requirements that are defeasible and those that are not.
+
+I think it would be better to make 'Defeasible Action Requirement' a defined class, and create a quality of Directive ICE's such as 'defeasible'. We could then assert axioms involving this quality for any promotion requirements that are waiverable.

+ In the Russian Armed Forces, many of the roles served by NCOs are served by commissioned officers. For instance, a lieutenant in the Russian Ground Forces will typically serve both as Platoon Commander and as Platoon Sergeant, the latter of which is usually served by NCOs in Western militaries.
+
+In addition to serving as commanding officers, Russian commissioned officers typically take on the role of trainers and disciplinarians of enlisted personnel--a role that is given to NCOs in Western militaries.
+
+Russian NCOs do have the option of pursuing a career in small unit leadership (e.g. leadership of squads, crews, and in some cases platoons). But this requires graduating from an academy whose program last for 2 years and 9 months, with education and training that is comparable to that which is completed by a newly commissioned lieutenant at a military academy (4-5 years).
+ While some NCOs are promoted to these ranks after completing their service as conscripts in the junior ranks (private ranks), Russian civilians who have training in a militarily useful vocation can enlist as NCOs. In that respect, the manner of entrance into the Russian NCO ranks is a deviation from the canonical type NCO rank.

+ We distinguish between Russian Navy 'Deck' Ranks and Russian Naval Infantry Ranks. Within the Russian Armed Forces, the Naval Infantry -- which is Russia's equivalent of a Marine Corps -- is a proper part of the Russian Navy. This differs from the U.S., where the Navy and Marine Corps are sister services that are both part of the Department of the Navy. In the case of the U.S. naval forces, we can thus distinguish between U.S. Navy Ranks and U.S. Marine Corps Ranks.
+
+Like the U.S. and British Marine Corps, the Russian Naval Infantry uses 'army-style' ranks (generals, colonels, sergeants, and so on.) Whereas deck personnel use 'naval-style' ranks (admirals, petty officers). But given that the Russian Naval Infantry is a part of its Navy proper (rather than a sister service), the ranks of the Naval Infantry are technically ranks of the Russian Navy. Thus we distinguish between Russian Navy deck ranks and Russian Navy naval infantry ranks.

+
+For instance, those sailors holding the Seaman Recruit Rank have different 'rate' depending on their occupational field or specialty. Thus there are Fireman Recruits, Constructionman Recruits, and Hospitalman Recruits, and Seaman Recruits. Notice here that 'Seaman Recruit' is used both for the rank under which each of these rates falls, as well as a specific rate (specifically, for those in the general deck and administrative community). A sailor's actual title is determined by the rate or occupational field. Thus a sailor falling under the Seaman Recruit Rank who is in the medical field would have as their title 'Hospitalman Recruit'.

+ I say "who holds a rank below U.S. Army Captain Rank" because it appears to me that 10 USC 603, which authorizes such promotions, also authorizes the President to appoint a soldier of a higher rank to a lower rank (e.g., if there is a critical shortage of CPTs due to wartime casualties, but still plenty of qualified Majors).
+
+That is what 10 USC 603(d) appears to me to suggest: "An appointment under this section does not change the permanent status of a member of the armed forces so appointed. A member who is appointed under this section shall not incur any reduction in the pay and allowances to which the member was entitled, by virtue of his permanent status, at the time of his appointment under this section." I took this to mean that when appointed to a position at a lower rank the officer would still be paid at the higher rate tied to their permanently held higher rank.

+ The Senior Airman Rank is equivalent to the rank of Army Specialist, which is also in the E-4 DoD paygrade. The Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard do not have an equivalent non-officer enlisted personnel rank equivalent in the E-4 paygrade.
+
+The Army rank of Specialist is below the NCO rank of Corporal, which is also in the E-4 paygrade. The Air Force used to have an equivalent NCO rank of 'Sergeant' in the E-4 paygrade (which, if were still in use, would itself be equivalent to the lowest ranking NCOs in the Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard, i.e., Corporal/Petty Officer Third Class).

+ Unhelpfully, the notion of a 'Junior Grade Officer' is sometimes used synonymously with 'Company Grade Officer'.
+
+This seems incorrect, as Junior Grade Officer is a grouping of naval and coast guard commissioned officers of grades O-1 through O-4, and Chief Warrant Officers of grade W-2 through W-4. Whereas Company Grade Officer is a grouping of army, marine corps and air force commissioned officers of grades O-1 through O-3, and Chief Warrant Officers W-1 and W-2.
+
+Normally, a U.S. Navy Warrant Officer 1 (W-1) is appointed via a warrant, rather than a commission. Though, the Secretary of the Navy does have the authority to appoint a W-1 via commission.
+
+That they are not normally commissioned explains why the Navy W-1 Warrant Officer are not groupd under the term 'Junior Officer', as 'Officer'.

+
+
+
+
+
+
+ In U.S. military usage, warrant officer is a grade in between enlisted grade and commissioned officer grade.
+
+But in other militaries, warranter officers are the highest of the enlisted ranks. Thus, for instance, the warrant officer ranks of the British and Canadian Armed Forces are classified under 'Enlisted Rank'.
+
+In the U.S. Armed Forces, the highest enlisted ranks are non-commissioned officer ranks. As a result, the rank structures of the U.S. Armed Forces contain more grades of non-commissioned officer ranks than are found within rank structures following the Commonwealth model.
+ Please note that the lack of a U.S. Coast Guard WO-1 'warrant officer rank' and WO-5 'Chief Warrant Officer 5 rank' are not ommissions. These are not ranks currently used in the coast guard.
+
+There is a provision for the latter rank, but it is not currently in use.
+ A Military Rank that is appointed by warrant or Military Commission and specifies an Authority Role which is held by a member of the U.S. Armed Forces by virtue of their specialty and expertise in certain military technologies or capabilities.
+ Military Rank of the U.S. Armed Forces that is above the Enlisted Ranks but below the Commissioned Officer Ranks, is appointed by warrant or Military Commission, and possession of which signifies that the rank holder is a technical specialist serving in a position requiring greater authority and responsibility than that of a senior Non-Commissioned Officer.
+ Warrant Officer ranks in the U.S. Armed Forces (except for in the Coast Guard), include both a W-1 'warrant officer' rank, and 4 grades of 'Chief Warrant Officer' (W-2 through W-5).
+
+The W-1 ranks are usually appointed via a warrant approved by the Department Secretary of the respective service. Less commonly, these ranks are appointed via a commission from either the service secretary, the Secretary of Defense, or the President.
+
+All appointments to the Chief Warrant Officer Ranks are made via a commission from the President.
+
+Appointment to warrant officer ranks of all grades must be authorized by the Senate.

+ Field Manual 6-0, 'Commander and Staff Organization and Operations'
+ https://www.army.mil/ranks/
+ When serving in the capacity of chief of staff of a division-level staff element, a U.S. Army Colonel usually serves under a U.S. Army Major General, as the latter usually serve as division commander.
+
+The Division Chief of Staff has executive management authority over its staff element, freeing the division commander "from routine details of staff operations and management of the headquarters." Field Manual 6-0, 'Commander and Staff Organization and Operations', section 2-43.
+
+Traditionally, a brigade was composed of two or more regiments, and was commanded by a U.S. Army Brigadier General. But this command structure has now become obsolete. Today "a brigade is roughly equal to or a little larger than a regiment, consisting of three to seven battalions." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_rank#Rank_and_unit_size]

+ U.S. Army Commissioned Officer Rank
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ A Commissioned Officer Role which inheres in an Agent in virtue of that Agent holding some U.S. Army Commissioned Officer Rank, and which primarily involves the command, or deputy command, of some U.S. Army unit (a platoon or larger unit).
+ A U.S. Army Commissioned Officer Role, --such as the U.S. Army Major Role -- is a role that involves service within certain roles that are designated for officers holding the corresponding rank --for example, the U.S. Army Major Rank. The primary role for which U.S. Army commissioned officers are designated is that of unit commander, with officers of successively higher ranks generally commanding successively larger units. Thus, for example, a captain usually commands a company sized unit, a lieutenant colonel usually commands battalion sized unit (of 3-5 companies), a colonel usually commands a brigade sized unit (of 3 or more battalions), and a major general usually commands a division (of 3 brigades). Though, in some cases an officer of lower rank may command a unit normally designated for an officer of higher rank, for instance a senior First Lieutenant may be selected to command a company in lieu of an available captain.
+
+Commissioned officers also often serve in other high-level positions, such as executive officer (second-in-command) to the unit-commander, within echelons immediately above those for which they typically serve as commanders. For example, while a lieutenant colonel typically commands a battalion sized unit, they also may serve within a brigade as executive officer to the brigade's commanding colonel.

+ A U.S. Army Non-Commissioned Officer Rank that is directly above the U.S. Army Specialist Rank and directly below the U.S. Army Sergeant Rank, and which signifies that the rank holder's job is to serve as a team leader of 2-5 soldiers.
+ The job of team leader has often been given to Army Specialists because that rank has usually been given out far more often than the rank of Army Corporal. (Although the latter rank has more responsibilities, both ranks have the same pay level). But officially the role of team leader is the responsibility of Corporals, since that is the job of NCOs. [https://www.federalpay.org/military/army/corporal]
+
+This probably has to do with the fact that these ranks are both in the O-4 pay grade, and traditionally a Specialist was able to skip the rank of Corporal and be promoted straight to the rank of Sergeant.
+
+Of course, this will probably change given the Army's recent policy shift that requires that all enlisted soldiers serve in the Corporal rank before moving to Sergeant. [https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/06/07/major-promotion-shift-all-soldiers-will-serve-corporal-moving-sergeant.html]

+ https://www.army.mil/ranks/
+ A brigade Executive Officer is second-in-command to the brigade commander, typically a U.S. Army Colonel. Thus, when serving in the capacity of brigade Executive Officer, a U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel typically serves under an officer of the next higher rank. This, of course, is by design. Serving as second-in-command to an officer of the next higher rank is part of the the Lieutenant Colonel's preparation for advancement to that rank.
+
+As brigade Executive Officer, the Lieutenant Colonel has executive management authority over its staff element, freeing the division commander "from routine details of staff operations and management of the headquarters."

+
+What is a 'primary staff officer'? I don't find this in the army regulations. Is it another term for executive officer? [SB 11/18/21]
+
+Seems to be 'principal staff officer' from FM 6-0, Commander and Staff Organization and Operations
+
+Sections 2-41 and 2-42: at the battalion and brigade levels, the principal staff officer to the unit commander is called the executive officer.
+
+Not sure how to interpret this:
+"There are three basic types of staff officers: coordinating, special, and personal. A principal staff officer—who may be a coordinating, special, or personal staff officer for the commander—leads each staff section."
+
+Does this mean there is a principal staff officer in the sense of XO, but also subordinate to them on the staff also a separate principal staff officer for each of the 3 types of "staff section" that leads that section?
+
+Or does it mean that there is THE one principal staff officer, who can be one of these 3 types, that leads all the sections?
+
+2-44: "Coordinating staff officers are the commander’s principal staff assistants who advise, plan, and coordinate actions of special staff officers within their area of expertise. They are directly accountable to the COS or XO and have functional responsibilities over one or a combination of fields of interest."
+-This implies that there are various principal staff officers, who are directly subordinate to the XO, the top of principal staff officer.
+
+Often serves as the operations officer, S-3, at battalion or brigade levels. On the role of an S-3, see FM 6-0, section 2-52. 2-52 also shows overlap and differences from the G-3, assistant chief of staff role: Major may serve as G-3 at the Division level and up, where these have G-staffs, the G standing for the staffs of orgs led by general officers. Division commanded by Major General.
+
+[SB 06/22/22]
+ "In the U.S. Army, a task force is a battalion-sized (usually, although there are variations in size) ad hoc unit formed by attaching smaller elements of other units." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_force#Army
+ Info taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_(United_States)
+
+"majors command augmented companies in Combat Service and Service Support units. U.S. Army majors also command Special operations companies, such as U.S. Army Special Forces companies, Civil Affairs companies, Military Information Support Operations companies, and certain types of separate, numbered vice lettered, Military Intelligence companies."
+
+Why do they usually only command special operations, and not basic Army tactical units?
+
+Post Korean War, "regiments with organic battalions were no longer used as tactical units. Battalions attached to brigades replaced the regiment. Battalions commanded by lieutenant colonels became the US Army's basic tactical unit. As a result, there were only a limited number of command positions for majors although Medical, Special Forces and Aviation companies are usually commanded by majors."
+ U.S. Army Commissioned Officer Role that inheres in an Agent in virtue of that Agent holding the U.S. Army Major Rank, which typically involves service as a Battalion Executive Officer or Battalion Operations Officer, but also involves service as a principal staff officer for brigade and task force commands in the areas of personnel, intelligence, operations, or logistics.

+ From after WW1, up until 1948, this rank was named 'technical sergeant'.
+ Is two ranks below:
+
+U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sergeant, U.S. Space Force Senior Master Sergeant, U.S. Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer and U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer. Call this Group A.
+
+The ranks in Group A are each directly above the rank in their respective services that is equivalent in rank to U.S. Army Sergeant First class.
+
+But U.S. Army Sergeant First Class is also one rank directly below the U.S. Army Master Sergeant Rank, which has no equivalent rank in the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, Navy and Coast Guard. In this case, U.S. Army Sergeant First Class is two ranks below U.S. Army First Sergeant, which is the U.S. Army rank that is equivalent in rank to the ranks in Group A. It is for this reason that we say that U.S. Army Sergeant First Class is two ranks below those ranks.

+ Since Sergeant Majors typically have at least 18 years of experience serving as a U.S. Army enlisted soldier, they often provide the commanding officer with valuable insight and advice on how unit operations could be better conducted in the future. Sergeant Majors also supervise all those enlisted soldiers that are appointed to staff positions underneath them within the unit. [https://www.federalpay.org/military/army/sergeant-major]
+ There is a puzzle about how this relates to the nearest Navy and Coast Guard Ranks.
+
+Two ranks higher than: U.S. Air Force/Space Force Senior Master Sergeant Rank and U.S. Navy/Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer?

+ In practice, many soldiers with the rank of SGT command squads. This of course, would seem confusing, as Staff Sergeants, who outrank Sergeants, are typically in command of squads, with one or more Sergeants serving directly under their direct leadership.
+
+There is a reason for why most Sergeants also command squads: "according the US Army's Modification Table of Organization and Equipment (MTO&E), Sergeants are supposed to serve as team leaders, while the next highest rank, that of Staff Sergeant, is supposed to serve as squad leaders.
+
+However, given the number of sergeants serving the in the Army and the rate at which promotion works, it has become accepted practice for a Sergeant to serve as a squad leader more often than a team leader." [https://www.federalpay.org/military/army/sergeant]
+ While the U.S. Army Sergeant Rank is directly below the U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Rank, it is above the U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Rank. This is because the Air Force Staff Sergeant Rank is the lowest non-commissioned officer rank in that service (and Army Staff Sergeant Rank is third lowest in the Army).

+ Notice that being equivalent in rank to Senior Airman Rank does not imply that an Army Specialist is one rank below the next highest Air Force rank that is directly above Senior Airman, namely Staff Sergeant. Falling directly under Army Corporal, the Army Specialist is two ranks below the Army Sergeant Rank, which is the equivalent of the Air Force Staff Sergeant Rank. So it is two ranks below Air Force Staff Sergeant.
+ Though not an officer rank, persons holding this rank have basic management duties and may command soldiers of lower rank:

+"A soldier in the Army holding the rank of Specialist holds the first rank with leadership responsibilities. Unofficially known as a team leader, Specialists manage a small number of other soldiers of lower rank, privates of all class." [https://thestargateprogram.fandom.com/wiki/United_States_Army_Enlisted_Ranks}
+ A U.S. Army Junior Enlisted Rank that is directly above the U.S. Army Private First Class Rank and directly below the U.S. Army Corporal Rank, and which signifies that: i) the rank holder manages a small number of U.S. Army privates; ii) the rank holder is recognized as an expert in the specialized knowledge of individual soldiers in all capacities.
+ https://www.federalpay.org/military/army/specialist
+ Holders of the U.S. Army Specialist Rank are unofficially known as team leaders. While in practice, Specialists do manage team sized groups of lower ranking privates, Specialists are not NCOs, unlike U.S. Army Corporals who share the same pay grade of E-4.
+
+This is likely due to a combination of three factors: i) the Army's need to fill team leader slots; ii) the fact that when advancing from the E-3 paygrade most soldiers holding the rank of Private First Class opt for promotion to the rank of Specialist rather than that of Corporal, as the rank of Corporal involves more responsibilities while offering the same pay level as that of a Specialist; iii) traditionally, a soldier holding the rank of Specialist can skip the rank of Corporal and move directly from Specialist to Sergeant.
+
+This may change in the future given new Army policy on promotions to the Sergeant rank: https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/06/07/major-promotion-shift-all-soldiers-will-serve-corporal-moving-sergeant.html

+ This comment was from 7/27/21: This gets tricky. From what I have read, technically the U.S. Army and Marine Corps Corporal Ranks, which are both NCO ranks, are equivalent in rank to U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Rank, U.S. Navy/Coast Guard Petty Officer Third Class Ranks, and U.S. Space Force Specialist 4 Rank.
+
+Notice though that of their equivalents, only the Navy and Coast Guard ranks are NCOs.
+
+Thus, it is my understanding that since the corporals are NCO's, and the Senior Airmen and Specialist 4's are not NCO's, the corporals would outrank the latter in any joint operation between services. Thus one can outrank an officer of equivalent rank in some cases. And so we have to be careful in how we define the relationship of 'outranking'.
+
+At least, this is my non-expert analysis of the situation (based on the fact that NCO's outrank non-NCO's). Will need to consult further with an expert on this matter.
+
+Update as 7/29/21:
+
+I am fairly sure that the articles where I read that the Senior Airman Rank is equivalent in RANK to the E-4 paygrade Navy and Coast Guard NCO ranks were simply conflating paygrade equivalency with rank equivalency.
+
+The following official document from the U.S. Army has a table that clearly shows the Army and Marine Corps Corporal ranks and the Navy and Coast Guard to all be equivalents, while Army Specialist and Senior Airman are shown to be equivalents a rank below, with no corresponding non-officer equivalents in the Navy, Coast Guard and Marines Corps.

+ https://www.federalpay.org/military/marine-corps/corporal
+ U.S. Marine Corps Corporals may command squads of varying sizes. Squad sizes vary depending upon the weapon system employed by the squad:
+
+"In the United States Marine Corps, a rifle squad is usually composed of three fireteams of four Marines each and a squad leader who is typically a sergeant or corporal, Other types of USMC infantry squads include: machinegun (7.62mm), heavy machinegun (12.7 mm (.50 cal.) and 40mm), LWCMS mortar (60-mm), 81-mm mortar, assault weapon (SMAW), antiarmor (Javelin missile), and anti-tank (TOW missile). These squads range from as few as three Marines (60mm LWCM squad) to as many as eight (Javelin Missile squad), depending upon the weapon system with which the squad is equipped."

+
+The ranks in Group A are each directly above the rank in their respective services that is equivalent in rank to U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant.
+
+But U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant is also one rank directly below the U.S. Marine Corps Master Sergeant Rank, which has no equivalent rank in the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, Navy and Coast Guard. In this case, U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant is two ranks below U.S. Marine Corps First Sergeant, which is the U.S. Marine Corps rank that is equivalent in rank to the ranks in Group A.

+ There are a variety of different types of platoons and sections in which U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sergeants may serve:
+
+"Staff sergeants in infantry, and light armored reconnaissance units typically serve in the billet of platoon sergeant of a 42-member rifle platoon, an 18-member scout sniper platoon (infantry battalion H&S company S-2 section) or a 24-member light armored reconnaissance platoon. In reconnaissance battalions, staff sergeants usually serve as squad/team leaders of a 6-member reconnaissance team. When serving as a platoon sergeant, they are the senior tactical advisor to the platoon commander (an officer) and the second-in-command of the platoon.
+
+Staff sergeants also serve as a section leaders in weapons platoons (the platoon sergeant being a gunnery sergeant in weapons platoons) leading from 8–27 Marines in a crew-served weapons section (i.e., machine guns, mortars, assault weapons/rockets, and anti-tank missiles). In artillery batteries staff sergeants serve as either the local security chief/platoon sergeant of a firing battery's 94-member firing platoon or as section chief of a 10-member artillery section (viz., gun crew). In tank and assault amphibian units, they serve as section leaders in charge of 8 Marines manning two tanks or 9 Marines manning three AAVs, respectively, under a gunnery sergeant serving as platoon sergeant. When there is a shortage of gunnery sergeants, they may be assigned to a billet of platoon sergeant or company/battery gunnery sergeant, and in the event of a shortage of officers may be temporarily billeted as a platoon commander."

+
+ Unlike in other definitions, this does not say that the U.S. Army Corporal must have served 18 months at their current rank in the E-4 pay grade.
+
+This is because while some serve at the CPL rank their entire time at E-4 (i.e. those that advanced directly from PFC to CPL) some serve at the rank of SPC in the E-4 pay grade before being laterally promoted to CPL. As noted in the annotations for 'U.S. Army Specialist Rank', in the past the rules allowed a qualfied soldier to advance directly from SPC to SGT, but now all SPCs must serve time as CPLs before being eligible for promotion to SGT.
+
+In that case, I assume that the TIG requirement would be a composite of time served in the two E-4 ranks in cases of lateral promotion. But I am not certain of this. This is because it is still uncertain whether or not there will be TIG requirements added following lateral promotions from SPC to CPL. In that case, it may turn out that there are further TIG requirements specifically for service at the CPL rank.
+
+"Corporals and specialists are both under the E-4 paygrade; that means a corporal, despite being considered a junior NCO and having more responsibilities, makes the same pay as a specialist. It is unclear whether the corporal rank will come with time-in-grade requirements or if pinning on the stripes will effectively be a placeholder for the soldier to finish up their time as an E-4." https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/06/07/major-promotion-shift-all-soldiers-will-serve-corporal-moving-sergeant.html
