Ireland has an army? What for?

The desperation to distance themselves from the British Army ranking system they went weird.

i did'nt know terrorist had ranks

I was a chchchchbhairthegh in the ghairbhenthuukhen guards

Figuring the pay grade is easy. Give 1 for the star and add 1 for each stripe or chevron.

🇭🇳🇭🇳

This is the biggest joke of a service, with Space Ghost the high commander.

4:44 pineapple rank

Some of those salaries aren't too shabby, considering that NCM is entry level work. No wonder CAF is leaving thousands of vacancies unfilled.

An bunch of unemployed men with guns 🤣🤣

Ensign 👎 Insin 👍

What about Commander And Chief Governor General

Obvious the Irish Army wants absolutely no resemblance to the British Army with its chevron stripes. The U.S. Army inherited its chevron stripe ranks from the British so the Irish want nothing to do with American rank insignia. I don't know why the Irish adopted the Austrian Steyr AUG bullpup instead of the M16A2 or later M4A1 carbine.

Looks like the Navy ended my old rating- PH. And no more PT rate either?

All you need to know is who to salute to or not,

medical korps please.

im irish he he

Tnx uncle

I didn’t know that Ireland even HAD an army. Why?

Love the Irish ☘️ oops that’s me on my mums side..Cav (horse, armor)squadron Sgt.

Firstly, fantastic video. Here's a few things which need to be aired here. History. The army ranks of today date back to 1900, when HIM Queen Victoria suggested the army simplify there rank structure, especially amongst the officer class. Amongst the NCO ranks very little changed in the infantry regiments. But, in the household division they made the household ranks more visible and impressive. For example. The rank of L/Cpl was given an extra stripe, and became Corporal. Full Corporal became Lance Sergeant (3 white stripes). Sergeant became 3 Gold stripes. I am not an expert of the ranks above that. So maybe the rank structure of the household/Cavalry might be worth doing in the future. Officers. The first officer rank used to be Ensign. Which was a white line on the shoulder. That rank was replaced with 2nd Lieutenant. All ranks above that got an extra pip/star up to the rank of Brigadier General. Brigadier General, was an official General rank before the 1900 review. They simply added the third star to the rank, and removed General, to make the rank Brigadier. They are senior field officers, and allow no longer a general. They do have a one star flag on their vehicle's. Major general used to be Sergeant Major general. They kept the shoulder display, but removed the Sergeant from the rank. Lt General was Lt Colonel General. As before, they kept the shoulder display, and removed the Colonel from the rank. General hasn't been changed. This rank is the highest rank as officer can reach in peace time. As explained by the jobs they do, that have already been mentioned. Field Marshal, as mentioned today is an honoury rank. It is also a war rank. A field marshal is the senior general in a group of generals. An example, in WW2 when General Eisenhower was in command of Operation Neptune. General Montgomery (who had been a field marshal), in the desert. Was second in command for Operation Overlord. The rank also has a gun salute of 19 guns. As was done when the unknown warrior was placed in Westminster Abbey. As l mentioned earlier, the rank of ensign was removed from active service. But, is still an honoury rank used today the signify the officer/officers (if both are on parade), of the officer responsible for the Regimental Colour/Colours at the trooping the colour parade, or any regimental parade where the colours are on display. It's classed as a 'Regimental Duty', normally given to the lower officer ranks. In conclusion. If by chance you visit any museum and you see an former commanding officer. If they've got a crown, that's pre 1900. A crown & star, that's 1900 onwards. One hopes that this is helpful. Once again. Great video. Good work

The FIELD MARSHAL Rank has been Dismissed from The service At present the Highest Rank in INDIAN ARMY is GENERAL( C.O.A.S)

So the Irish military doesn’t have the rank of general?

Thanx❤❤❤

Junior Potato head; Potato head; Leading potato head. Turnip head; Senior Turnip head; Chief Turnip head. Major Mutton head ; Lieutenant Mutton head; Brigadier Mutton head. And it command of them all is the Nincumpoop-in-chief .That about sums up Irish army ranks.

❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️

“There” driver their driver cmon

The red & yellow stars look like Communist stars.

Great information. It’s interesting that the enlisted ranks are quite similar to those in the US army. I had never seen those insignia before, though.

Love when they say lefttenet

The current SEAC is Troy E. Black, USMC and the SMA is Michael R. Weimer. The CSA is GEN Randy A. George ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m a seaman right now. Semper paratus

The Fleet Admiral rank only exists in the USN. Also, the USCG aren’t military

The Navy WO’s are W-2 through W-4, like the Coast Guard

I did not see EW, Electronics Warfare Tech.

I didn't even know Ireland had an Army.

my father was a chief petty officer 1st class he loved the navy

Please consider removing the background music in this video!

It would be awesome if you could do a video on sea cadets before they become Junior non-commission members 2:19

Irish officer ranks for the most part are carbon copy of U.S.Naval ranks

There seem to be a lot of shopkeeper ranks in the enlisted ranks. A whole army full of senior quatermasters is fine to run Aldi but who leads troopr in the field?

Traditionally in the PLA, who is an arm of the CCP, promotion was bought, and then the newly "promoted" extorted those below them! (Soldiers needing a pass, pay the officers!)

I guess they wanted to get away from British Army insignia for the most part....

In Irish army Who gets the rifle on alternative weekends?

My Irish family were American Seabees

Oh ain't that interesting, let's visit the comment section. *Full of racists* Never again 😅

Why did the Irish Soldier wear 2 Condoms ?- To be sure,to be sure !.

As much as I love the Irish side of my family I think they over complicated their ranks but hey if it works for them go for it.

Who cares! Who cares about the Irish military? Who cares about Ireland any longer? What values are important to Ireland these days? A lost nation and a lost people of little interest to most outside of Ireland.
