!!!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.
