About STANAG 2116: NATO Standardization Agreement 2116 defines a common rank scale for allied nations — OR (Other Ranks / Enlisted), WO (Warrant Officers), and OF (Officers). Not every country uses all grades; the US Army serves as the benchmark reference. Warrant officer grades are only used by nations that have a warrant officer corps. Spot an error? Help us fix it.
