Curt von François Curt Karl Bruno von François ( 2 October 1852 – 28 December 1931 ) was a military and political figure in the early days of German colonialism in Africa . He is remembered as one of the pioneers of German Southwest Africa ( present - day Namibia ) . François was of French Huguenot ancestry , and was born in Luxembourg on 2 October 1852 . He was a soldier in the Franco - Prussian War of 1870 – 71 , and in 1883 worked as a geographer on an exploratory expedition of the Congo region under the leadership of Hermann von Wissmann ( 1853 – 1905 ) . Later he became a member of the German Imperial General Staff , and in 1887 was stationed in Togoland . In 1883 , the German merchant Adolf Lüderitz purchased Angra Pequena following negotiations with a local African chief . He called this coastal region of southwestern Africa - " Lüderitz " . Fearing that Great Britain was soon to declare the area a protectorate , Lüderitz advised the German chancellor Otto von Bismarck to claim it , which he did at the Berlin Conference of 1884 . In order to provide security to the territory , in 1889 Germany sent " Hauptmann " Curt von François with 21 troops to the British - held enclave of Walvis Bay . Soon afterwards François stationed himself at Otjimbingwe ( against the advice of acting imperial commissioner Heinrich Göring ) in order to deal with opponents to German authority in the interior of the territory . Eventually he occupied the completely destroyed settlement of Windhoek ( founded by Jonker Afrikaner decades earlier ) . At Windhoek , François set up headquarters of the German occupation ( which he called " Alte Feste " , Old Fortress ) . This location was chosen because the Germans felt it would serve as a buffer zone between the Nama and Herero tribes . From March 1891 until November 1893 , François was commissioner of German Southwest Africa . During this time ( 1892 ) he established the coastal town of Swakopmund as the main harbour of the colony . In 1893 he was promoted to Major and given the title of " Landeshauptmann " . During the same year he led an attack on Nama leader Hendrik Witbooi ' s headquarters at Hoornkrans . In 1894 François was replaced by Theodor Leutwein as " Landeshauptmann " of German Southwest Africa , and during the following year he retired from military life . In retirement he wrote extensively about his experiences in Africa . He died in Zernsdorf , Germany on 28 December 1931 . The original " Schutztruppe " headquarters built by François in 1890 at Windhoek was expanded in 1912 , and has been a museum since 1962 . His brother , Hermann von François , also served in the German army and was one of the key contributors to the German victory at the 1914 Battle of Tannenberg . External links . city

U . S . uniformed services pay grades Pay grades are used by the uniformed services of the United States to determine wages and benefits based on the corresponding military rank of a member of the services . While different titles or ranks may be used among the seven uniformed services , pay grades are uniform and equivalent between the services and can be used to quickly determine seniority among a group of members from different services . They are also essential when determining a member ' s entitlements such as basic pay and allowances . Pay grades are divided into three groups : enlisted ( E ) , warrant officer ( W ) , and officer ( O ) . Enlisted pay grades begin at E - 1 and finish at E - 9 ; warrant officer pay grades begin at W - 1 and finish at W - 5 ; and officer pay grades begin at O - 1 and finish at O - 10 . Not all of the uniformed services use all of the grades ; for example , the Navy does not use the grade W - 1 , the Air Force discontinued use of the warrant grades in the 1960s , and both the Public Health Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration do not use any of the enlisted or warrant grades in their entirety . Members in pay grades O - 1 , O - 2 , and O - 3 with more than four years of prior cumulative service in an enlisted or warrant officer grade are paid increased wages using the special pay grades of O - 1E , O - 2E , and O - 3E , respectively . This benefit does not affect their rank and is used simply for reward and incentive purposes in recognition of their prior enlisted experience . For pay tables and information on specific pay grade wages and entitlements for members of the uniformed services , see United States Military Pay . Equivalent grades in NATO armed forces . The enlisted grades correspond with the NATO rank codes , with E - 1 being equivalent to OR - 1 , E - 2 equivalent to OR - 2 , and so on . The officer grades are all one higher than their NATO equivalent ( except O - 1 ) as the O - 1 and O - 2 grades are both equivalent to the NATO code of OF - 1 . Hence O - 3 is equivalent to OF - 2 , O - 4 is equivalent to OF - 3 , and so on . The NATO system does not have an equivalent of the U . S . warrant officer grades . Officer pay grades . " Note : The ranks of general of the Army , general of the Air Force , and fleet admiral ( Navy ) are considered special ranks that can be conferred in wartime only . While it is still possible for an officer to be selected for these ranks , they do not appear on the current military pay grade scale . "
