Today, we introduce the ranks of the U.S. Space Force. Since the U.S. Space Force was just released from the new service of the U.S. Air Force in December 2019, there may be some friends who are not yet aware of the rank setting of this service, so we chose to introduce it.
First of all, the U.S. Space Force officer rank, from this picture, we can see that the U.S. Space Force rank of the English name, abbreviation, rank logo and the U.S. Air Force are basically the same, the main difference in the evening dress hard epaulettes, it can be said that it is more characteristic of the design of its services. In addition, the U.S. Space Force's OCP camouflage combat uniform rank logo also uses a large number of dark blue, which is also different from the U.S. Air Force.
Below we introduce the ranks of soldiers in the U.S. Space Force. It should be noted that the U.S. Space Force, like other services, also refers to soldiers as Enlisted, and Enlisted here cannot be translated as "new recruits", a mistake that some of the larger websites have made when reporting on the matter.
In addition, the new regular dress released by the US Space Force is currently being tested in terms of wear, rather than wear test, which involves the word Wear, and a major mistake has also been made on a larger website. Therefore, when translating US military materials, do not use machine translation, because most of the thesaurus templates of the translation machine are quoted from folk vocabulary, grammar, and sentence patterns, and it is difficult to automatically translate them into special terms in professional fields such as military and aviation.
We should also know that the american space force names all soldiers, that is, the English corresponding to "officers and soldiers" in our Chinese. The U.S. Army refers to "officers and men" as Soldiers, the U.S. Air Force refers to "officers and men" as Airmen, the U.S. Marine Corps refers to "officers and men" as Marines, and the U.S. Space Force refers to "officers and men" as Guardians. When translating the subject matter related to the US Space Force, there is no need to translate Guardians into space guards, but directly translates to "officers and soldiers".
The U.S. Space Force's soldier rank settings are very reasonable, and they divide the level of soldiers into 4 levels, all of which are represented by professional sergeants. The reason why they are reasonable is because in other branches of the US military, the rank of corporal belongs to the "soldier" series, while sergeant and sergeant are one rank, and sergeant major is another series. Listing corporals who were originally in the Air Force as Specialist, and using a systematic rank mark with soldiers in the E3, E2 and E1 salary brackets, can be said to be a wise move by the US Space Force, very scientific.
To be sure, with this new rank system, the U.S. Space Force's full independence from the Air Force will be faster and more like a new service.
