Civilian Rank Structure

Below is a table providing equivalent military, civilian, National Intelligence Department and International Oversight Advisory ranks for Vedic Expedition personnel. Details concerning rank entry and promotion can be found at the bottom of the page. It will now provide a means by which a civilian chain of command can be formed.

Military Rank	Civilian Rank	NID Rank	IOA Rank
Second Lieutenant	GS-10	Probationary Agent	Assistant Attaché
First Lieutenant	GS-11	Agent	Attaché
Captain	GS-12	Special Agent	Senior Attaché
Major	GS-13	Supervisory Special Agent	Third Secretary
Lieutenant Colonel	GS-14	Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge	Second Secretary
Colonel	GS-15	Special Agent-in-Charge	First Secretary
Brigadier General	SES-1	Assistant Director	Counselor
Major General	SES-2	Associate Director	Minister Counselor
Lieutenant General	SES-3	Deputy Director	Career Minister
General	SES-4	Director	Career Ambassador

Civilian: Expedition members with no college degrees start as GS-10. Those who have an undergraduate or Masters degree are employed at GS-11, while bearers of Doctorate degress (PhD) will start at GS-12. Promotion occurs based on service to the expedition, with the ranks of GS-15 or higher only being held by department or division heads.

NID/IOA: All civilians assigned to these ranks start out as GS-10 and are promoted over similar time periods to military personnel.
