Title:
The Evolution of the United States Army's Enlisted Rank Structure and Insignia 1776-Present
Report Date:
2005-02-28
Abstract:
Every major conflict in the United States Army's long history has ushered in substantial changes in the enlisted rank structure and its identifying insignia. The Army's time honored process of applying past lessons learned to current operations is evident in the evolution of enlisted ranks. From the time of General George Washington's Continental army to the twenty-first century, the Army has evolved from a ragtag band of colonists to the premier professional fighting force it is today. Along the way, the enlisted rank structure has also evolved to acknowledge and encompass the ever-increasing demands for technical and tactical expertise in the NCO Corps.
