Mulāzim (Arabic:ملازم;Ottoman Turkish:Mülazım) is ajunior officer rank in many armed forces of theArab world, roughly equivalent tolieutenant. The rank can usually be split into three different grades:

• Mulāzim (Arabic:ملازم,lit. 'assistant')
• Mulāzim 'awwal (Arabic:ملازم أول,lit. 'First assistant')
• Mulāzim thānin (Arabic:ملازم ثان,lit. 'Second assistant')

InJames Henry Skene's 1851 review of the Ottoman military, he noted that Mulazim were paid 280-350piastres per month (including rations), perhaps more than contemporary British soldiers; as officers, their European-influenced uniforms included gold epaulettes, and distinctive lace on their cuffs as a mark of rank.^[2]

• In the usage of theMahdist State, a Mülazım was a member of the khalifa's bodyguard.^[3]
