Notably , within the British armed services , both Sir Fitzroy Maclean and Enoch Powell are examples of , rare , rapid career progression with the British army , both rising from the rank of Private to Brigadier during World War II . In the US military such advancement is not uncommon , all four services maintaining programs that select promising enlisted men for the commissioned ranks . Notes to table above US " Enlisted " and UK " Other " ranks compared . The British Armed Forces do not use the term Enlisted Ranks . The equivalent in the Royal Navy is Ratings and in the other services is Other Ranks ( divided into Warrant Officers , Non - Commissioned Officers and Soldiers or Airmen ) . UK and US ranks are categorised in the NATO rank code system OR - 1 to OR - 9 . Ranks with the same code are equivalent . Within the US military , however , " E - 1 " to " E - 9 " is the more common usage . " Notes on comparison : Addendum : In the US Army ( but not the USMC ) the term " Trooper / ( Troop ) " may be used informally for lower enlisted in Cavalry , Scout , Airborne , Air Assault , Ranger , and Special Forces Units , along with the occasional use for any soldier , particularly dismounted Infantry . The specific definition of " Troop " is a company sized unit of Cavalry , organizationally equivalent to " Battery " in Artillery units . Notes to table above

The office of the Congressman in whose district the facility is located was notified by the NSA in summer of 2012 that the facility was going to be shutdown . This was subsequently confirmed with the Navy posting an OPNAV notice of closure . The functions of the facilities will be moved to the Aerospace Data Facility at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado and result in the loss of 100 + jobs from the Yakima area . Public access . The John Wayne Pioneer Trail crosses the Yakima Training Center on the former roadbed of the Chicago , Milwaukee , St . Paul and Pacific Railroad , which traverses across two - thirds of Washington from the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains to the Idaho border . The railroad right - of - way was acquired by Washington state and is used as a non - motorized recreational trail . The segment east from Kittitas to the Columbia River just south of Vantage has been developed and is managed as the Iron Horse State Park as it crosses the Yakima Training Center .
