Marshal of the branch (or "marshal of the branch of service"; (ロシア語:Ма́ршал ро́да во́йск)) was from 1943 to 1974 the designation to a separate rank class in the general officer´s rank group of the former Soviet Union´s armed forces. However, at that time, marshal of the branch was also the lowest marshal-rank of the Red Army, and later of the Soviet Army. In modern context, it might be comparable to the NATO OF9-rank〔The abbreviation "OF" stands for German ''Offizier'', English officer or French ''officier''〕 Marshal of the branch was nominal the equivalent rank level to army general (OF-9). However, general officers on that particular rank were not authorised, competent and mandated to be appointed to, or to act on the position of commander in chief of a big formation or command. ==Introduction and sequence of ranks == The term "marshal of the branch" was calqued from the German ''General der Waffengattung'' (general of the branch). The first general officers of the air force, artillery, and armored troops were promoted on 16 January 1943 under the rank designation:〔Disposal of the "Presidium of the Supreme Soviet” from January 16, 1943 … on introduction of the new of ranks marshal of the aviation, marshal of the artillery and marshal of the armored troops.〕 *Marshal of the aviation (маршал авиаций) *Marshal of the artillery (маршал артиллерии) *Marshal of the armored troops (маршал танковых войск) In October 1943, it was followed by the communications and engineer branches with the ranks: *Marshal of the signal troops (маршал войскa связи) *Marshal of the engineer troops (маршал иншенерых войск) The top ranks of that rank group were chief marshal of the branch with the designation:〔Disposal of the "Presidium of the Supreme Soviet” from October 9, 1943 … on introduction of the ranks of marshal of the communications troops and marshal of the engineer troops, as well as the introduction of the rank of chief marshal of the branch.〕 *Chief marshal of the aviation (гавный маршал авиаций) *Chief marshal of the artillery (гавный маршал артиллерии) *Chief marshal of the armored troops (гавный маршал танковых войск) *Chief marshal of the signal troops (гавный маршал войскa связи) *Chief marshal of the engineer troops (гавный маршал иншенерых войск) The five ranks marshal of the branch, as well as chief marshal of the branch were created at OF9-level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marshal of the branch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
