Peacekeeper Rank Structure

[Artemis]

Gendarmerie- a military force charged with police duties among civilian populations

I decided to whip this up so there's a little clarity about the Peacekeeper rank system. I've simplified it as much as I could for people who don't normally deal with military rank and whatnot; I used the United States Army as a reference since it seems to be well-known.

Demotions are often given as punishments, but promotions are not typically given as a reward; that's what medals and awards are for.

Recruit: Peacekeepers that are still in the Academy; ranked even lower than Cadet/E1 (as they are not yet full-fledged Peacekeepers)

_{Top to Bottom:Pay Grade (E1, E2, etc.); Rank Insignia; Title; Abbreviation}

Junior Enlisted- typically do the menial military jobs.
Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs)- they're assigned responsibilities over small units and lower-ranking enlisted. They may also train junior enlisted.
Staff NCOs- often put in charge of larger units/posts and may give training to NCOs and junior enlisted.

Flag Officers- Officers O7 or higher; their jobs are more akin to politicians than anything else.
To receive a commission and become an officer, the American military requires a college degree; perhaps in Panem, getting far enough in the Pregames/being a victor or something to that effect?

Not sure how y'all would want to incorporate something like this into the site, but if you like it or want to ask questions/have me clarify something, shoot me a line

Just curious if anyone's had a chance to look at this?

Hey Brody!

Thanks for writing with your idea. ^^ This is very well thought out!

Generally speaking we prefer to leave things vague, to allow for maximum creativity and flexibility. Because we have so many members, it can be hard to sort through a lot of specific information to create a character. We also don't have a defined structure for the government (other than President Snow at the top, and one Mayor per district).

I think, however, this would make a fine plot. ^^ You're welcome to recruit other people to form a Peacekeeper unit with this rank structure, if you'd like! That way you can the members who sign up can keep track of it, while allowing other members to develop their own PK plots.

Hope this helps!
