!!!Dienstgrade

Ranks, Military and Civil Service: official positions that are awarded 
ad personam. In the armed forces there is a distinction between the 
ranks of private soldiers ("Mannschaft"), sergeants ("Unteroffizier") 
and officers ("Offizier"); they are made visible by rank insignia worn 
on the uniforms. A similar system is employed in the police and the 
gendarmerie (rural police); the Austrian Railways (OeBB) have 
abolished the rank system. Civil servants are classified according to 
their duties and wages.
