Make you own. Give you a head start...



1.Lieutenant

2.Nant

3.L-Ant

This would be ranking for lieutenant with the ant being the lowest but will still outrank a S-ant for sergeant and will distinguish between commisioned and non-commisioned ranks.

General

Colonel

Major

Captain

Lieutenant are officers(commissioned)





Master Sergeant

Sergeant

Corporal

Private are enlisted (non-comissioned)



These are just a few of military rankings.

well..rangers were an elite unit for "special" tasks , , ..but support gunners would lay down covering fire usually with an MG, you had your snipers ...and ranks , basicly...if you give your troops ranks , well...say you were Sgt. and you were giving orders to a PVT. , well..that means he SHOULD follow those orders...and if he is a decent soldier, will.

try googling military stuff...like army ranks or something.



ps: I was in the Navy, so you could call yourself a "seaman", and give your buddy the rank of Admiral. We have cooks and gunners, so you could be a seaman (cook) I suppose.

The ranks basically go like this,

Captain

Major

Lt. Colonel

* General

** General

*** General

****General

*****General

Usually only captains and below engage in actual combat. Most squads are composed of privates, corporels, and sarges, with a couple officers. You do have specialists within the enlisted ranks which have specialities,ie support, scout, gunner, sniper etc.. The Rangers are a specialized unit that engages in recon. and special forces operations. They are equilavent to the SEALS, Delta Force,Green Berets, etc.



If you want to do a realistic scenario in a paintball game, have a Lt. or Capt, depending on number of squads, as commander and some specialized enlisted men with varyings ranks that fill certain roles.



Hope this helps.
