Warrant Officer Service 1972-1991Warrant Officers (in Russian: Praporshchiki) were created within the Soviet Army in 1972, in order to encourage conscripts to enlist for extended service following their two year mandatory service. The new Praporshchiki had many of the same privileges as commissioned officers, including higher pay, benefits and the right to wear officer quality uniforms. This cap represents one worn by a Praporshchik of Motorized Rifles or by Medical/Veterinary/Justice/Intendance Praposrshchiki after 1980 (remember - these services changed their branch color from magenta to red that year). To add even more potential confusion, this same cap was worn by all officers colonel and below during the period 1969-1975 until they were finally authorized to wear gold cords with their service uniform. Although I only show this cap in red, Warrant Officers of course also existed within the Tank/Artillery/Special Troops - which used black velvet bands, and within other services using magenta bands. Besides the black strap (either oilcloth or plastic), the Warrant Officer's cap was exactly like that worn by other officers.Tank/Artillery/Motor Transport/Railroad/VOSOOfficer Service 1975-1991 Except of the band - black velvet - this cap is virtually identical to the cap just described. Produced in 1989 - it has the same plastic visor, aluminum cockade and gold cords. The only divergence are the buttons - which are plastic. At this stage virtually all cap buttons were plastic. This same cap but with a plain black wool band was worn by officers of engineers and other special troops' officers until they too were authorized black velvet in 1980.
