As a military term, overseer designates a military rank, conventionally considered equivalent to sergeant in other countries, and has variations such as "first overseer" etc. In Arab armies, raqīb overseer ranks are superior to the rank of arīf (عريف), which means "expert" and is equivalent to corporal in many other countries. Raqīb ranks are immediately below the ranks of "assistant" (مساعد) and "first assistant", which are equivalent to Commonwealth ranks of warrant officer. (en) |
