Some “ranks” may sound similar, such as Captain and Kapten, but the magnitude of difference is about the same as a Swedish Mil and an American Mile. A Swedish Kapten does not translate to an Amercian Captain, because a Kapten commands units such as a platoon (about 35 men), while a Captain a company (about 160 men). Captains in the US are university graduates; Swedish Kaptains High School graduates. [Ref: KFOR – Swedish military personnel servicing abroad] - |

Revision as of 17:13, 16 July 2006
- Changed the page to better correspond with NATO codes.
- Removed Fanjunknare and Overfurir
etc
The information on this page is incorrect! Se http://www.mil.se/images/local/gradbeteckningar_stor.gif for correct information.
I have removed Fanjunkare and Overfurir as those ranks do not exist anymore.
Please refer to what you think is wrong.
