I suggest:

Private
Private First Class
Corporal
Lance Corporal
Sergeant
Sergeant Major
Staff Sergeant
II Lieutenant
Lieutenant
Captain
Major
Lieutenant Colonel
Colonel
Brigadier General
Major General
Lieutenant General
General
Field Marshal

At least the ranks of US, Commonwealth and British Army are almost the same —posted above—, but are very similar to German, French, Soviet and Italian ranks. With some few differences. But as it is a British and English-speaking forum we may have a Anglo-American majority and a mixing of Anglo-American ranks with continental European ranks could confused many people.

Regards,

Friedrich
