(Redirected from Mulazim)
Mulāzim (Arabic: ملازم; Ottoman Turkish: Mülazım) is a junior officer rank in many armed forces of the Arab world, roughly equivalent to lieutenant. The rank can usually be split into three different grades:
History
[edit]In James Henry Skene's 1851 review of the Ottoman military, he noted that Mulazim were paid 280-350 piastres per month (including rations), perhaps more than contemporary British soldiers; as officers, their European-influenced uniforms included gold epaulettes, and distinctive lace on their cuffs as a mark of rank.[2]
Influences
[edit]- In the usage of the Mahdist State, a Mülazım was a member of the khalifa's bodyguard.[3]
