gendarmerie

Rank comparison chart of officers for gendarmeries of Francophone states. In France and some Francophone nations, the gendarmerie is a branch of the armed forces that is responsible for internal security in parts of the territory (primarily in rural areas and small towns in the case of France), with additional duties as military police for the armed forces.[1] In the mid-twentieth century, a number of former French mandates and colonial possessions adopted gendarmeries after independence.[2][3][4]

History

edit

Through the French colonial empire the gendarmerie was employed as a military and policing force throughout French colonies,[5][3] with Gendarmes from France being deployed in every colony in 1900.[6] The gendarmerie would also recruit personnel from the local populations, entrenching the idea of a gendarmerie in the colonial societies.[7][8]

In the mid-twentieth century, a number of former French mandates and colonial possessions adopted gendarmeries after independence.[2][3] These included Algeria,[9] Chad,[10] Djibouti,[11] the Ivory Coast, Lebanon, Madagascar, Morocco,[9][12] Senegal,[13] Syria,[14] Tunisia,[9][15] and the Republic of the Congo.[16]

Officers

edit

Although they all wear the same insignia and titles, officers are divided into:

  • Regular officers of the army
  • Officers of the Armed Forces Commisariat Corps (formerly Army Commisariat Corps)
  • Officers of the technical and administrative corps of the armed forces (formerly of the Army)

Officiers généraux - general officers

edit
NATO
rank
Rank insignia Name Description
Departmental Gendarmerie Air Transport Gendarmerie Armament Gendarmerie Mobile Gendarmerie Republican Guard Air Gendarmerie Maritime Gendarmerie Technical and Administrative Service French English translation
OF-9 Général d'armée Army general In command of an army.
OF-8 Général de corps d'armée Army corps general In command of an army corps.[note 1]
OF-7 Général de division Divisional general In command of a division.
OF-6 Général de brigade Brigade general In command of a brigade, or of a région in the Gendarmerie.

There is no distinction between infantry and cavalry generals, since they are all supposed to be able to command any type of unit. The rank was formerly designated as Lieutenant-General of the Armies until 1791. The official historic succession of the "Lieutenant-General of France" corresponded to Général de division for the French Army, and Vice-Amiral (Vice-Admiral) for the French Navy. The rank of Général de corps d'armée wasn't officially adopted until 1939, along with five other French Armed Forces ranks. It must also be noted that Army corps general and Army general are not really ranks, but styles and positions (Rang et appellation in french) bestowed upon a Divisional general, which is the highest substantive rank in the French Army.

Officiers supérieurs - senior officers

OF-5 Colonel Colonel A colonel commands a regiment of the army or a groupement of the Gendarmerie. During the French Revolution, they were called chef de brigade. Cavalry arms wear silver. The origin of the difference in metal colour is that infantry officers once wore silver epaulettes, while those of the cavalry and other arms wore gold, and the colour of the rank badge had to differ from these metals in each case.[citation needed]
OF-4 Lieutenant-colonel Lieutenant colonel The lieutenant-colonel has the same responsibilities as a colonel. They were called major during the First French Empire.
OF-3 Chef d'Escadron Squadron chief It is equivalent to a major in most English-speaking countries.

OF-2 Capitaine Captain In command of a company (French: compagnie) of infantry, a squadron (French: escadron) of cavalry or a battery (French: batterie) of artillery.
OF-1 Lieutenant Lieutenant Commands a platoon (French: section) of infantry, a troop (French: peloton) of cavalry, or a brigade of the Gendarmerie.
Sous-lieutenant Sub-lieutenant Commands at the same level as a lieutenant, but is a more junior officer rank.
Aspirant Aspirant An Officer Designate rank. Technically it is not a commissioned rank but it is still treated in all respects as one. Aspirants are either officers in training in military academies or voluntaries, serving as temporary officers. The aspirant must have been previously élève officier (Officer Cadet). They can afterwards be commissioned as a sous-lieutenant. The insignia is a single curl of gold lace, disrupted by "flashes" of wool. It was widely used during both World Wars for providing young educated people with an officer's authority.
Élève officier Officer cadet A rank held during the first years at the officer academies (École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr, École militaire interarmes or École des officiers de la gendarmerie nationale)

Sous-officiers - sub-officers, i.e. non-commissioned officers

OR-8 Adjudant Adjutant Often same responsibilities as an adjudant-chef.

OR-5 Sergent (infantry)
Maréchal des logis (Cavalry)
Sergeant
Marshal of lodgings

Élève sous-officier NCO student NCO candidates at the ENSOA.

Aspirants are cadet officers still in training. Sous-lieutenants are junior officers and are often aided by adjudants or adjudants-chefs, who are experienced NCOs/warrant officers.

Full lieutenants are experienced junior officers, served by sergeants when commanding their unit.

A four chevron sergent-chef-major rank existed until 1947. It was a ceremonial rank usually given to the most senior or experienced NCO in a unit. It was discontinued in the post-war army due to its redundancy.[citation needed]

Militaires du rang - Troop ranks

edit

Junior enlisted grades have different cloth stripe and beret colour depending on the service they are assigned to. Troupes métropolitaines ("from the French mainland") units wear blue, Troupes de marine (the former troupes coloniales') wear red, and the Légion Étrangère (Foreign Legion) units wear green.

A red beret indicates a paratrooper, whether from the "troupes de marine" or not. A legionnaire paratrooper wears a green beret with the general parachutist badge on it, the same badge used by all French Army paratroopers who completed their training.

Senior grades' lace stripe metal depends on their arm of service, just like the officiers. Infantry and support units wear gold stripes and cavalry and technical services units wear silver stripes.

  1. The Général de corps d'armée in the French Armed Forces, is the third ranking order of the general officer corps, based on the hierarchical order. The designation of a général de corps d'armée is situated above a général de division and underneath the designation of général d'armée. By regulation, the rank refers to an officer of the rank of « Général de division » who receives the « rank and designation » of a « Général de corps d'armée ». This rank would command an Army Corps, a unit composing several Divisions. The insignia is composed of 4 stars. A Presidential Decree on 19 November 1873 introduced for a first time the notion of "corps armée". A circular on 17 March 1921 depicted that generals commanding an Army Corps (French: corps d'armée) would wear a 4th star, forming with the first three, a diamond shape. The generals commanding the army and the members of the Superior War Council wore a 5th star, superposed in the first 4 stars. Finally a Law Decree of 6 June 1939 made official, the designations and ranks referrals of "Général d'armée", "Général de corps d'armée", "Amiral", "Vice-amiral d'escadre", "Général d'armée aérienne" et "Général de corps aérien".
