Staff captain
Staff captain is a rank of staff officer immediately above or below that of captain. It is used by various militaries around the world, typically in an administrative or assistant role to other officers.
In the Czechoslovak Army, until 1953, staff captain (Czech: štábní kapitán, Slovak: štábny kapitán) was a senior captain rank, ranking between captain and major.
The rank of staff captain (Estonian: staabikapten) was adopted from the Russian Imperial Army and used briefly by the Estonian military right before the German occupation of Estonia during World War I. During the occupation, it was replaced with the rank of captain.
The rank of Staff Captain (Irish: captaen na foirne) was used by the Irish Republican Army during the Irish revolutionary period (1917–23). During The Troubles the rank was used by the Official IRA & Provisional IRA. Joe McCann was a Staff Captain in the Officials and killed unarmed by the British Army in 1972. John Francis Green was a Staff Captain in the Provisionals North Armagh Brigade & killed by the Ulster Volunteer Force in 1975 allegedly with the help of Royal Ulster Constabulary members from the infamous Glenanne gang.
Staff captain (Stabskapitän, also: Stabshauptmann) is a historic military rank used in the Prussian army.
It ranked between the Premierleutnant (later called Oberleutnant) and Hauptmann/Rittmeister in the Prussian army. Its holder represented the actual captain and company commander in his absence, frequently and often for long periods, should his (usually noble) Hauptmann show no interest in leading the company, though the Hauptmann would retain his rank, status and uniform.
In the army of Frederick the Great, a regiment's Regimentschef, Oberst, staff officers, company commanders and those of nearby rank received a far higher rank than the staff captains who actually led the company. From this difference later developed the salary difference between a first class "Hauptleute first class" and "Hauptleute second class".
In the Russian Imperial Army (RIA) the OF-2b rank of Stabs-kapitan (Russian: штабс-капитан) counted as a lieutenant captain ("light" captain) or senior lieutenant (ru: старший лейтенант; starshy leytenant) who ranked between poruchik (ru: пору́чик (OF-1a)) and captain (ru: капитан; kapitan (OF-2a)) and was in charge of a company-size military unit.
