mrav pesadinac ::Company commander (komandir čete) - officer; usually a captain, can be a major
Platoon leader (komandir voda) - officer; usually a 1st lieutenant, can be a captain.
Squad leader (komandir odeljenja) - NCO; Sergeant (vodnik) or Staff Sergeant (Vodnik 1. klase)
Crew leader (komandir vozila) - NCO; Sergeant (vodnik) or Corporal (Mlađi vodnik - enlisted in JNA)
Enlisted ranks are: private - razvodnik, private 1st class - desetar, corporal - mlađi vodnik
Apart from leaders as listed above, soldiers (riflemen, drivers, etc) in a mechanized company can have any of the three enlisted ranks or no rank at all. In the last instance they're simply soldiers (vojnik).
Rifleman, driver, etc. are specialties (like MOS in the US Armed Forces).
Come to think of it, I would've use common assumption (co. commander being captain, leader being sergeant, and enlisted being private like usual) in these regards and get away with it, since I don't want to repeat the mistake when I first make Japanese Rifle Squad. Regardless, thanks for the information.
