The Bangladesh Army (Bengali: ???????? ???? ??????) is the land forces branch of the Military of Bangladesh. The rank structure of the Bangladesh Army is divided in two main parts: commissioned officers/officers and soldiers, officers have two categories of ranks one is known simply as officers and the other category is generals or general officers, on the other hand soldiers have three categories of ranks. Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) and NCOs are enlisted personnel, not officers. From the rank of Second Lieutenant to the highest rank of General all are commissioned officers. Commissioned Officers are regarded as 1st class Bangladesh-government officer. Men and women can receive commission from BMA, Bhatiary. 'Sainik' is a Bengali word, it means Soldier in English, the rank Sainik is equivalent to 'Private' of US and British Army and 'Sepoy' of Pakistan Army. From a Sainik a person is promoted to Lance Corporal, and from this rank he/she gets NCO (Non Commissioned Officer) status. From the rank of 'Warrant Officer' persons are called JCO. From Major-General to General, officers of these rank holders are commonly called 'generals' and Brigadier-generals are known as Brigadiers in contraction, though the suffix 'general' was added in 2001. 2nd Lieutenant, Lieutenants and Captains are considered junior officers (not junior commissioned officer. Major and Lieutenant-colonels(called as colonels) are mid-ranking officers(referred as field officer). Colonel and above are considered as senior officers. The insignias of Major-general and Lieutenant-general were changed in 2013, previously these two ranks were same as the Pakistan Army ranks except the national emblem and also the ranks of all grades of soldiers (including JCOs) were Pakistan Army alike till 1999.
