* OF-3 – OF-5: [[Field officer|Senior officer]]s
* OF-1 – OF-2: [[Junior officer]]s
 
In [[US Forces]] the [[Warrant Officer]] is a separate and distinct category of officers. This officer rank and precedence is below those of officer personnel, but above that of non-officer personnel. Warrant Officer grades are as follows:{{sfn|NATO|2022|p=А-10}}
* W-5: Chief Warrant Officer 5 ([[US Army]], [[US Marine Corps]], [[US Navy]])
* W-4: Chief Warrant Officer 4 ([[US Army]], [[US Marine Corps]], [[US Navy]])
* W-3: Chief Warrant Officer 3 ([[US Army]], [[US Marine Corps]], [[US Navy]])
* W-2: Chief Warrant Officer 2 ([[US Army]], [[US Marine Corps]], [[US Navy]])
* W-1: Warrant Officer 1 ([[US Army]], [[US Marine Corps]]; no longer used in [[US Navy]])
 
The [[warrant officer]]s are the highest other ranks in [[British Armed Forces]] and [[Canadian Armed Forces]].{{sfn|NATO|2022|p=D-1, D-3}}
 
=== Other rank codes ===<!-- Other ranks (NATO) redirects here -->
OR1–OR9 (lowest rank code to highest) are used for other ranks:{{sfn|NATO|2021|p=1-1}}
* OR-5 – OR-9: [[Non-commissioned officer]]s (for NATO purposes)
* OR-1 – OR-4: [[Enlisted rank]]s (usually)
 
At the same time, there are exceptions, for example:
* Non-Commissioned officers in [[British Armed Forces]] are called Senior Non-Commissioned Officers in OR-5 to OR-7 inclusive and Junior Non-Commissioned Officers in OR-3 and OR-4.{{sfn|NATO|2022|p=D-8, Е-7, F-7}}
 
This is not a new feature: it was present in previous editions of STANAG 2116, but was sometimes overlooked.
