Militær rang

En militær rang er et rangtrin i en militær organisation. Der skelnes mellem officerer, underofficerer og menige (hvervede eller værnepligtige) soldater.

Inden for militære organisationer er anvendelsen af rang nærmest universel. Kinas Folkets Befrielseshær (1965-1988), den albanske hær (1966-1991) og den sovjetiske Røde Hær (1918-1935) er sjældne eksempler på militære organisationer, som har gjort sig erfaring med at afskaffe militære grader. I alle tre tilfælde valgte man at genindføre graderne efter at have oplevet operationelle vanskeligheder ved kommando og kontrol.
