Ranks

Overview

The April Knights have many different ranks, both in Battalions and Divisions. Division rank reflects a certain amount of investment of skill in the specific area of the division, where battalion ranks generally reflect the effort devoted to the Order as a whole, often including work in the divisions.

Battalion ranks

• The Commander leads the battalion. Each battalion has only one Commander.
  • The First Officer may be chosen to cast the battalion vote if the Commander is on the Upper Council or if the Commander is indisposed.
• Captain is either a retired Commander or a Knight considered worthy to become a Commander but is not yet one.
• Sergeant is an officer who aids their Commander in managing the battalion.
• Corporal is a Knight who has been honoured for the work that they have done for the April Knights. They are not an officer.
