Nigerian Military Hierarchy by pomide(m): 11:31am On May 23, 2015 |
After Getting into an Argument about what rank a NDA short service student graduates with, I saw browsed this piece online and decided it could help people who might need it. So here it is... the Nigerian Military Hierarchy. FIELD MARSHALL – The highest rank in the Nigerian military hierarchy is Field Marshal. But this term has never been used practically in Nigeria, means no Nigerian has ever attained this rank ever. GENERAL – The highest rank practically attained in the Nigerian military hierarchy is General. Full General is basically a four star rank with NATO ranking OF – 9. LIEUTENANT GENERAL – Lieutenant General Rank is a high commissioned officer rank sub ordinate to General rank with a NATO ranking OF – 8, a three star rank in Nigerian military hierarchy. Major General – A medium commissioned officer rank with a NATO ranking OF – 7 and a rank higher to Brigadier. This is a two star rank in Nigerian military hierarchy. BRIGADIER – With a NATO ranking OF – 6, this is one star rank in the Nigerian military hierarchy. Colonel – Rank lower to Brigadier is Colonel, referred as Colonel of regiments. A lower level commissioned officer rank and highest field officer rank with ranking OF – 5. LIEUTENANT COLONEL – Deputy to Colonel is Lieutenant Colonel, a middle level field officer rank with ranking OF – 4. MAJOR – The lower level in the field officer category is Major, a rank higher to Captain and lower to Lieutenant Colonel with ranking OF – 3. CAPTAIN – The next rank in the hierarchy is Captain, the highest rank in the tactical organization of troops with ranking OF – 2. FIRST LIEUTENANT – First Lieutenant acts as a deputy to the Captain. Term Lieutenant refers to ‘substitute’ to immediate superior rank with ranking OF – 1. SECOND LIEUTENANT – Second deputy to Captain is Second Lieutenant, sub ordinate to First Lieutenant with ranking OF – 1. MASTER WARRANT OFFICER – Next rank in the Nigerian military hierarchy is Master Warrant Officer, an expertise leader who maintains, operates, manages as well as administers the military’s equipments. WARRANT OFFICER – Warrant Officer handles all the tasks of a Master Warrant Officer in his absence and acts as an assistant to the same. STAFF SERGEANT – Sub ordinate to Warrant Officer, Staff Sergeant is a senior non commissioned military officer. SERGEANT – A junior non commissioned military officer sub ordinate to Staff Sergeant in the Nigerian military hierarchy. CORPORAL – A corporal is an officer who is in charge of a body of certain troop. LANCE CORPORAL – Lance Corporal means officer of lowest rank. RECRUIT / TRAINEE – The cadets who have just joined Nigerian military are at the lowest level of the Nigerian military hierarchy. NDA SS graduates comes out with First or Second Lieutenant depending on your grade. Culled from www.hierarchystructure.com 40 Likes 16 Shares |

seankay:dem don catch u, next time no lie this kain stupid lie for here, if you really went through nda, you would know that becoming a field marshal is next to impossible, the only way one can actually become a field marshal is if you commanded as a general throughout wars like ww2, ww1 with victory. in fact the whole of africa has generated only one field marshal since inception(nigeria as a nation has never had someone that rose to the rank of a field marshal). 26 Likes 3 Shares |

Re: Nigerian Military Hierarchy by KELVIN086: 1:05am On May 28, 2015 |
am i dreaming or has this thread really entered front page this is one of the reasons nigeria has never produced a field marshal termal 4 peeps crashing hard now to be serious the major reason why people do not get to that rank is because they retire, in fact people that get to brigadier general level are very powerful and connected people, most people retire at major general level. 6 Likes 2 Shares

Idi Amin's Field Marshal is self made and not globally recognised. Attaining a field marshal is a herculean task. 9 Likes 5 Shares |
