Anenlisted rank (also known as anenlisted grade orenlisted rate) is, in some armed services, anyrank below that of acommissioned officer. The term can be inclusive ofnon-commissioned officers orwarrant officers, except in United States military usage where warrant officers/chief warrant officers are a separate officer category ranking above enlisted grades and below commissioned officer grades. In most cases, enlisted service personnel perform jobs specific to their own occupational specialty, as opposed to the more generalized command responsibilities of commissioned officers.^[1]

The term "enlistment" refers solely to a military commitment (whether officer or enlisted) whereas the terms "taken on strength" and "struck off strength" refer to a service member being carried on a given unit's roll.^[2]

The branches of the U.S. Armed Forces all use the same "E-" designation for enlisted pay grades, with service-specific names applied to each (e.g., chief petty officer, master gunnery sergeant, private first class).^[6] Each branch incorporates it as part of a service member's job specialty designator. In theUnited States Air Force, this job specialty designator is known as anAir Force Specialty Code, in theUnited States Army andUnited States Marine Corps, aMilitary Occupational Specialty, and in theUnited States Navy andUnited States Coast Guard, arating.
