Best Answer

The lowest rank in the US Army for an officer is Second Lieutenant. Then, First Lieutenant. It is important to note that even a Second Lieutenant out ranks many of the most senior non-officers (or enlisted men).

In the UK, there is no such thing as a first lieutenant, just lieutenant. Any officer will still outrank any NCO.

Usually something like Private. A general term might be "lower enlisted." There's also "recruit," this is often shortened to "Cruit." The term "Knob" has been used. During Vietnam, the acronym "FNG" became common.

A Lieutenant is, through history, a rank that denotes that they are preparing for the next rank above. Hence a low-ranking officer is a Lieutenant, who is preparing to be a Captain. A Lieutenant Colonel is preparing to be a Colonel. So it follows that a Lieutenant General is preparing to be a General. Thus, it is the rank immediately preceding it.
