  • Military Rank Equivalency
    Military rank equivalency Although GS civilians do not have military rank by virtue of their GS position, regulations include civilian and military grade equivalencies for pay and protocol comparison purposes. Military rank or civilian grade often have no bearing on supervisory precedence—generally, precedence and authority are guided by situational expertise. For example, a GS-9 is considered comparable to a first lieutenant or lieutenant (junior grade) (O-2), while a GS-15 (top of the General Schedule) is the equivalent grade of a colonel or captain (O-6). Senior Executive Service (SES) and Senior Level grades correspond for protocol purposes to flag and general officers (admirals and generals). Grade equivalencies were created by the U.S. Department of Defense for the purpose of treating civilians serving alongside the Armed Forces who have been captured as prisoners of war according to the Geneva Convention.[6] Geneva Convention Category GS MILITARY Senior Executive V: General Officer O-7 through O-10 Service GS-15 O-6 IV: Field Grade Officer GS-14/GS-13 O-5 GS-12 O-4 O-3 GS-11/GS-10 O-2 and W-4/W- III: Company Grade Officer GS-9/GS-8 3 GS-7 O-1 and W-2/W- 1 II: Non-commissioned Officer/Staff Non-Comissioned GS-6 E-7 through E-9 Officer GS-5 E-6/E-5 GS-4 E-4 I: Enlisted GS-1 through GS-3 E-1 through E-3 Grade equivalencies have also been issued by the U.S. Department of State for other purposes, such as assignment of permanent and transient housing to eligible civilian employees.
