HELLENIC ARMY KOPNENA VOJSKA

Nazivi modernih činova Grčkih oružanih snaga su bazirani na antičko grčkoj ili bizantskoj terminologiji, iako činovi korespondiraju sa onima zapadnih vojski. Na primjer, ime stare jedinice holpita (pješaci) sastavljene od otprilike stotinu ljudi, lochos je danas naziv za četu. Zapovjednik čete ima naziv iz antičkih vremena lochagos (kapetan), dok su njegovi poručnici ypolochagoi – doslovno prevedeno „pod-kapetani“. Narednik je lochais. Tagmatarchis (major) zapovjeda tagmom (bataljonom) i tako dalje. Dakle, svaki oficir ili podoficir u kopnenoj vojsci ili avijaciji je generalno nazvan prema vrsti jedinice kojom zapovijeda, sa dodatkom sufiksa –agos (od agein, voditi) ili –archos/arches (od archein, vladati).

NCO's AND OTHER RANKS PODOFICIRI I VOJNICI

WARRANT OFICERS OFICIRI SPECIJALISTI

U Grčkoj kopnenoj vojsci postoji samo jedan stupanj Warrant officer-a (oficira specijaliste) i može ga doseći samo profesionalni podoficir, koji je završio vojnu školu za podoficire (ΣΜΥ , Σχολή Μονίμων Υπαξιωματικών Scholi Monimon Ypaxiomatikon, Career NCO College) te neke kategorije podoficira pod ugovorom čiji se činovi smatraju jednaki onim sa ΣΜΥ-a (npr pripadnici muzičkog korpusa). To je čin ispod potporučnika, u koji eventualno može biti unaprijeđen. Ujedno je to najviši čin koji dobrovoljni podoficiri mogu doseći i to na kraju vojne karijere, kao počasni čin.

In the Greek Army, the rank of Warrant Officer can only be achieved by graduates of the military ΣΜΥ college (Σχολή Μονίμων Υπαξιωματικών Scholi Monimon Ypaxiomatikon, Career NCO College) and by some categories of volunteers whose rank scales are considered equivalent to those of ΣΜΥ graduates (e.g. military music corps staff). It is junior to the rank of Second Lieutenant, to which a warrant officer will eventually be promoted. It is also the maximum attainable rank for ΕΜΘ and ΕΠΟΠ volunteer NCOs, only attainable upon career termination as an honorary rank.

Modern Greek military ranks are based on Ancient Greek & Byzantine terminology, even though the ranks correspond to those of other Western armies. For example, ancient hoplite unit of approximately 100 men, the lochos, is today the name for a company of soldiers; its commander, as in ancient times, is a lochagos, while his lieutenants are called ypolochagoi — literally, "sub-captains" — a modern neologism. A sergeant is known as a lochias. A tagmatarchis (major) commands a tagma (battalion) and so forth. Thus, every officer or non-commissioned officer in the land and air forces is generally named after the type of unit he commands, with the suffix -agos (from agein, "to lead") or -archos / arches (from archein, "to rule").
