The Indian Army Postal Service Corps gives the rank of Warrant Officer to it's Postal Assistants as set out below:

'Special terms and conditions for Postal Assistants in Army Postal Services.

The selected candidates will be governed by Army Act and Army Rules during their services in the APS, which entails Field service anywhere in India or abroad, wearing of uniform as applicable to Army personnel and appropriate rank structure. The initial induction will be in the rank of Warrant Officer.'

Grateful for any information on the following:

1) Is the Warrant Officer rank found anywhere else in the Indian Army?

2) Where does WO fit into the rank hierarchy?

3) What is the rank insignia for an Indian APS Warrant Officer?

No Warrant Officer rank is only there in Indian Air Force. The Indian Army has three ranks of Junior Commissioned Officers who are gazetted ranks, and hold a lesser commission than which is held by officers. The commission is from the President of India.

Where does WO fit into the rank hierarchy?

The Air Force Warrant Officer is roughly equivalent to a Subedar of the Indian Army and a Master Chief Petty Officer Class II of the Navy. The Subedar is a gazetted officer, while WOs and Master Chiefs of the Navy are not.

What is the rank insignia for an Indian APS Warrant Officer?

Rank Insignias - Indian Army
Rank Insignias - Indian Air Force

My guess is that the report may have used the word Warrant Officer which is a more generic term (especially in western countries) when compared to JCO, Junior Commissioned Officer, Subedar etc. The APS men would be given a kind of honorary rank as a Naib Subedar or Subedar.

You may be right.

However, it's interesting that the Assam Rifles, whose JCO/OR ranks appear to mirror those of the Indian Army, list the following ranks in the 2006 Assam Rifles Act:

Subordinate Officer - Subedar Major, Subedar and Naib Subedar.

Under-officer - Warrant Officer, Havildar, Naik and Lance Naik.

Clearly the Warrant Officer is senior to a Havildar and junior to a Naib Subedar in the Assam Rifles. I'm wondering whether the Army Postal Services have the same WO rank.

I found this document published in 2006 which, on page 10, refers to 'JCOs, Warrant Offrs (APS) CI-1 and CI-II of
Army, Master Warrant Officer, Warrant Officer and JWO of Air Force, MCPO and CPOs of Navy on active / retd list.'

This appears to indicate that a separate Warrant Officer rank exists in the Army Postal Service Corps.

Perhaps someone can confirm.

Our soldiers being fed substandard food: CAG

The Army is already reeling under a series of meat, egg, atta, dal and other ration scams in recent years, with even Lt-General rank officers being indicted in the scandals. Now, the CAG has punched several holes in the Army's entire "supply chain management of rations", hinting at widespread corruption and existence of cartels.

Gun Trials Cancelled, Army Set to Feel the Recoil
The Indian Express

Though the Ministry has now issued a new request for information and the procurement process has begun afresh, it will take at least five more years to get new guns for the Army.

However, the bigger question to be asked is who will provide the guns.

Three firms — STK, Denel and Soltam — have been recommended for blacklisting by the CBI. The only remaining global player of repute, BAE, has already burnt its fingers three times on the procurement process and would indeed think twice before responding for the fourth round of procurement.

That is news to me. I was under the impression that they became Junior Commissioned Officers by the orders from President of India. That is their "commission" (even though of a lesser rank than Officers) was given by the President.

The table on page 8 of the attached document shows an Army Warrant Officer rank that is junior to a Naib Subedar and senior to a Havildar - I think this is the Warrant Officer rank in the Army Postal Service Corps:

Hmm.. during the British days there used to be a series of Havildar appointments. They are nominally rated above a Havildar, but below a Naib Subedar/Jemadar. They were the Coy. Quarter Master, Coy.Hav.Major, Rgt. Quarter Master and RHM. When they were 'appointed' in these ranks they recieved an appointment pay. So this new 'Warrant Officer' seems to be placed at the same level of Havildar appointments. After 1947 these Havildar appointments (especially RQMH and RHM) were obselete, as the these tasks were done by JCOs. In British Army, if I am not mistaken all these Sergeant ranks do hold a Warrant (Warrant Officer Class II or Class 1).

I also see that the Air Force equivalent is the "Flight Sergeant" (three chevrons, with an Ashoka emblem on top*) also called as "Chiefie"

. If I am not mistaken this rank is also obsolete in IAF, with the work now done by the Junior Warrant Officer.

I am waiting to see the rank insignia for this 'Warrant Officer' rank in APS.

* The same rank insignia is used in Indian Army for Company Quarter Master Havildar.

If the Army introduces WO ranks, it is a good way to distinguish JCOs with combat command (inf, armr, art, engr) vs. JCOs who hold the rank for other qualifications (religious leaders, teachers, systems experts etc). The latter can be WOs, former must be distinguished with a special rank (JCOs are currently higher in order of precedence than WOs). Me thinks archaic titles like "Junior" Commissioned Officers and "Jawans" need to be phased out and replaced by more relavant ones.

The British Army ranks of Staff Sergeant (holding appointment of Company Quartermaster Sergeant (CQMS)), Warrant Officer Class 2 (holding appointments of Company Sergeant Major (CSM) and Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant (RQMS)) and Warrant Officer Class One (holding appointment of Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM)), appear to correspond with the Indian CQMH,CHM, RQMH and RHM appointments.

The difference is that the British appointments confer a higher permanent rank - Warrant Officers are appointed by a warrant from the British Secretary of State. WOs also hold senior technical roles and staff officer positions in the British Army and are paid more than direct entry Lieutenants and Captains.

Perhaps along the lines of IAF ranks or even the Bangladesh Army who renamed their JCO and NCO ranks in 2001(courtesy of Wikipedia below), although it would be sad to lose the traditional names.

Junior Commissioned Officers

Master Warrant Officer (Previously - Subedar Major)
Senior Warrant Officer (Previously - Subedar)
Warrant Officer (Previously - Naib Subedar)

Non-Commissioned Officers

Battalion Sergeant Major (Previously - Battalion Havildar Major)
Battalion Quarter Master Sergeant (Previously - Battalion Quarter Master Havildar)
Company Sergeant Major (Previously - Company Havildar Major)
Company Quarter Master Sergeant (Previously - Company Quarter Master Havildar)
Sergeant (Previously - Havilder)
Corporal (Previously - Naik)
Lance Corporal (Previously - Lance Naik)

Hold on for a second, a JCO is a completely different category than WOs. WOs cannot hold independent command (exception being special operations forces), JCOs command their own platoons and even companies; in case of severe losses they can also take over battalion commands over junior officers temporarily (happened in WWII). British never had this setup in their own army (except RGR) and B'desh may not have this legacy as strongly as India or Pak.

MNS officers also have their commissions from the Army Chief.

The British Army had WO3 Platoon Sergeant Majors in the 1940s who had command of platoons, and there were many cases in WWII where WOs/ SNCOs took command in the absence of Commissioned Officers. However, you're correct that in general terms, Officers rather than WOs command platoons and companies in the British Army.

However, Warrant Officers in the US Army, who hold full officer status and are commissioned at Chief Warrant Officer level, can and do hold command appointments, even though they are primarily technical experts. US WO aviators can be appointed directly, others are promoted NCOs:

I feel sorry for the Havildar Majors in the Indian Army. Despite occupying key NCO positions, they do not have the security of having a substantive rank in their appointments. How is a CHM supposed to give frank advice if his appointment can be removed and he ends up as a mere Havildar again?

DRDO needs to step up the lobbying and propose delivery of the product within 1.5 years.

Unless they do that, its going to cost the country a pretty penny to be buying junk from overseas at insane prices. The military needs to give indegenous production some support instead of buying everything from abroad and wasting tons of money.

----------
NAG man PORTABLE ATGM GOES ON THE BACK BURNER

Recent agreement to purchase Third Generation American made Man portable Javelin anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM) as a replacement for Second Generation French Milans might be a death blow to Nag Man portable version of ATGM which DRDO wanted to build locally in India.

DRDO in 2006 had announced its intention to built a 14kg `Man Portable’ Nag , Work has been going for a while and after Nag had successfully completed its final validation trials and orders placed by army for 443 missiles for Rs 335 crore.

DRDL was expecting Army to wait for Man Portable Nag to be ready to be offered to them since Recently Army had placed orders for 4100 new Milan ATGM which has been produced in India, under license from European firm MBDA, over the past 30 years, Sudden purchase might put whole program into back burner since Army has not cleared its intention regarding Nag Man Portable version yet .

Army Sources are confident that Javelin ATGM is only interim purchase to induct new generation ATGM into the force and NAG man portable version when ready and after validation will be inducted into army .

The Javelin, introduced in 2002, weighs 22.3 kg (49 pounds, with disposable launch tube and battery/seeker coolant unit) and is fired from a 6.4 kg (14 pound) CLU (command launch unit). The CLU contains a 4x day sight and a 9x heat sensing night sight. The missile has a tandem (two warheads, to blast through reactive armor) that can hit a target straight on, or from the top. This latter capability enables the Javelin to destroy any existing tank (including the U.S. M1) with its 8.2 kg (18 pound) warhead. Maximum range is 2500 meters.

All that this article does is speculate and you're passing judgement on the IA based on this? An article which contradicts itsef? Before passing your expert judgement did you bother to check facts pertaining to requirement of ATGM by IA? How many ATGM does IA require to replace the older versions in service and how many Javelins are we acquiring? What has purchase of Milan-2T got to do with IA waiting for newer missile?

What is the timeframe of development of Man-portable Nag ATGM? Has any one bothered to check what is reason for IA not clearing development of man-portable Nag version or are we going to get into IA==bad+love for foreign maal?

Let us not break into histrionics at the drop of a hat.

I am Pi$$ off that the manporatble NAG (MPNAG) has been put on the backburner. The weapon would have been an excellent complemet for the MILAN and the hard won skills developed with the NAG woud have been preserved by develping the Manportable NAG.

I hope & pray that in not so distant future the decision will be revised and the programme will be revived. Considering the interest shown in the Javilin and the Spike by the IA. Cause the Manporatble Nag would be comparable to the Us and Isreali systems.

However, I speculate that the postponing of the MPNAG, would have freed up the human resources required for the HELINA. If yes then it is some thing that I can understand. But still

(Jingos heart in bever satisfied)

that we lack the human resources to develop 2 diffrent systems at the same time.

Pratyush, it has been argued before that the number of 3rd gen F&F ATGM required by IA is so great that a domestic programme is a must - and given the cost of Javelin it can best a stop gap measure and that too in limited (relative) quantity...even the article which is basis of all this whining has a quote from IA (again, unnamed source) that Javelin is an interim solution....so, why the whinefest?

And BTW, the manportable Nag will be replacement for Milan and not complementary.

The job of key NCOs in the British Army (for example) are taken up by the JCO ranks in the Indian Army. For example a british RSM would be consulted on all major issues (like for example troop's welfare, morale, customs etc.), in India the consultation would be with the Subedar Major (the senior most JCO in a unit, and a person who have come up from enlisted ranks). And JCO ranks are substantive ranks.

Rohit Bro, I want it yesterday and not tommorow thats why the whinefest. I also dont want the phoren maal to be bought byt he IA when a domestic item can pe provided at a reasonable cost. No other reason. But I accept you reason regarding the numbers required. Making the MPNAG a necessity. I just want it formally announced as a requirement by the Army, thats all.

BTW, Some times you posts remind me of JC cage. Don't know where he is these days.

And at the company level? In the British Army the Company Sergeant Major (a Warrant Officer rather than an NCO) would be the senior enlisted adviser for the Company Commander, and in the USA a First Sergeant carries out the same role. In the Indian Army is this role occupied by the Company Havildar Major or a JCO?

It would be a JCO. Company's are commanded by an officer (most likely a Major), but would have a JCO (Subedar or Naib Subedar as his deputy). The company also would have a CHM, but his role is very diluted. As I said earlier in this context a CHM is not equal to a CSM in UK.
