To follow up on this proposal, I would like to do the same. The images are almost the same on both pages, I feel like it would be more than possible to have all the information on one page instead of two. [[User:Skjoldbro|Skjoldbro]] ([[User talk:Skjoldbro|talk]]) 14:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC) |

The NATO equivalent ranks are pretty much useless unless you already know how they translate into terms like Sergeant and Corporal, in which case, you would not need to consult an encyclopedia. Since, in the English-speaking world, there are set of terms for NCOs, I would suggest either adding a column or combining the NATO equivalent designations with more familiar, non-specialist terms, and putting the NATO equivalents in parentheses. This is clearly a case where accuracy is the enemy of sense. [[User:Theonemacduff|Theonemacduff]] ([[User talk:Theonemacduff|talk]]) 03:39, 15 August 2019 (UTC) |

Medical officers
This section is very confusing, does the medical ranks have separate names or a separate system? --71.110.67.231 (talk) 02:28, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
- There are different names. However, the system is similar to the line offer ranks. v.r. -- HHubi (talk) 16:39, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
"Subofficer"
The word sounds a bit odd. Aren't those NCO's, hence non-commissioned officers? --41.151.25.138 (talk) 18:17, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, and "ushers" is also a poor translation for NCOs. 155.213.224.59 (talk) 17:30, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
- Again; where do the English terms for the German ranks originate from? To me, they look pretty much "literally translated". Wouldn't it be better to use (e.g. NATO-) standardized terms? Greetings, Lost Boy (talk) 11:09, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
proposed merger
I would like to propose merging this page with Ranks of the German Bundeswehr--Robert Treat (talk) 07:51, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
To follow up on this proposal, I would like to do the same. The images are almost the same on both pages, I feel like it would be more than possible to have all the information on one page instead of two. Skjoldbro (talk) 14:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
