History and related ranks

Origin

The basic military unit during the Middle Ages was the company raised by a vassal lord on behalf of his lord usually the King. The lord was commissioned by the king as Kapten to lead the unit. As the number of companies grew, one captain was granted overall (general) authority and named captain general, which was shortened to general.

Kaptenlöjtnant

Until 1750, a rank above Löjtnant and below Kapten to command the life guard company on behalf of its formal commander - a Överste.

Stabskapten

The rank Kaptenlöjtnant changed to Stabskapten (Staff Captain) in 1750.

Ryttmästare

Holders of the following ranks were elevated to Kapten

  • Löjtnant
  • Förvaltare
  • Fanjunkare (with a minimum of seven years' service)
  • Sergeant (with a minimum of seven years' service)

Reform 1972 - Rank inflation phase I

Before 1972, military personnel were divided into three categories Underbefäl (non-commissioned officers), Underofficerare (warrant officers) and Officerare (commissioned officers). The reform established a four-career-path system with four categories as described below and carried out major promotions of most personnel below the rank Överstelöjtnant.

The Underbefäl category was split into two categories

  • gruppbefäl to include

korpral - former vicekorpral

furir - former korpral

överfurir - former furir

  • plutonsofficerare to include

sergeant - former överfurir

fanjunkare - former senior överfurir and rustmästare

The Underofficer category was renamed kompaniofficerare to include

fänrik - former sergeant and fanjunkare with less than 3 years of service

löjtnant - former sergeant and fanjunkare with 3-7 years of service

kapten - former sergeant, fanjunkare with a minimum of 7 years of serviceand and förvaltare

The Officer category was renamed regementsofficerare to include

löjtnant - Löjtnant with less than 3 years of service and former fänrik

kapten - kapten with less than 11 years of service and former Löjtnant with 3-11 years of service

major - former kapten and löjtnant with a minimum of 11 years of service

överstelöjtnant - överstelöjtnant and former major

higher ranks

Reform 1983 - Rank inflation phase II

All categories were merged into one professional officer category with the lowest rank set to fänrik. Furir, överfurir, sergeant and fanjunkare were removed as a professional ranks. Holders of the rank fanjunkare were promoted to löjtnant and the rest to fänrik.

Finland

In peacetime training, a kapteeni is the commander of a company. (Majors can also be in this role, but usually majors work in command staff rather than in individual companies.) The rank requires additional training to obtain, in addition to the preexisting military university degree.

It is also possible for reservists to obtain the reserve rank of kapteeni.
