Other Ranks (ORs) in the British Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force (and in the armies and air forces of many other Commonwealth countries) are those personnel who are not commissioned officers. In the Royal Navy, these personnel are called ratings. Non-commissioned member is the equivalent term for the Canadian Forces.
The term is sometimes considered to exclude Warrant Officers and occasionally also excludes non-commissioned officers (NCOs).
In British India, a distinction was made between British Other Ranks (BORs) and Indian Other Ranks (IORs).
