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:

  • Mulāzim (Arabic: ملازم, lit.'assistant')
  • Mulāzim ʔawwal (Arabic: ملازم أول, lit.'First assistant')
  • Mulāzim ṯānin (Arabic: ملازم ثان, lit.'Second assistant')

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]
