United Kingdom Space Command (UKSC) is a joint command of the British Armed Forces organised under the Royal Air Force, [1] [2] and staffed by personnel from the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force and the Civil Service. [3] The UKSC has three functions: space operations, space workforce generation, and space capability. [4]
Pay grades [1] are used by the eight structurally organized uniformed services of the United States [2] (Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps), as well as the Maritime Service, to determine wages and benefits based on the corresponding military rank of a member of the services.
In the US Navy and Coast Guard, OR-1 to OR-3 or "nonrated (wo)men" are junior enlisted, OR-4 to OR-6 or petty officers are NCOs, and OR-7 to OR-9 or chief petty officers are SNCOs. In the British Army, RAF and Royal Navy, OR-1 to OR-2 are junior enlisted, OR-3 to OR-4 are Junior NCO's, and OR-5 to OR-9 are Senior NCO's
The 1st Space Operations Squadron (1 SOPS) is a United States Space Force unit responsible for space-based space domain awareness.Located at Schriever Space Force Base, Colorado, the squadron operates the Space Based Space Surveillance system, the Advanced Technology Risk Reduction system, the Operationally Responsive Space-5 satellite, and the Geosynchronous Space Situational Awareness Program.
Each officer rank in the navy of a NATO country may be compared with the ranks used by any military service in other NATO countries, under a standardized NATO rank scale. This is useful, for instance, in establishing seniority amongst officers serving alongside each other within multinational command structures.
As time went on and military operations became larger and more complex, more ranks were created and the systems of ranking became more complex. [6] [7] Rank is not only used to designate leadership, but to establish pay-grade as well. As rank increases, pay-grade follows, but so does the amount of responsibility. [8]
The main difference is in the commissioned officer ranks, where the US system recognizes two grades at OF-1 level (O-1 and O-2), meaning that all O-x numbers after O-1 are one point higher on the US scale than they are on the NATO scale (e.g. a major is OF-3 on the NATO scale and O-4 on the US scale).
