Ranks 

Leader

The Leader is the head of all of Team Rocket. They make all the final decisions and have a say in all of the missions that go on within the organisation. The identity of the leader is currently a secret to everyone but the highest ranked members.   

Second-In-Command

They make all of the decisions in the absence of the leader. Some say that the second in command was especially handpicked from the academy, by the Leader themselves, to take over the organisation in the future.

Executive

In charge of the elites, it is the executives jobs to manage the day to day running of the organisation. Staying at the base, they are present for all board meetings. Most orders and movement among the ranks come from the Executives.

Elite

The Team Rocket Elite act as field leaders during larger missions. If large groups of grunts are required for a mission, it is the Elite who receive orders from the Executives and make sure that they are carried out successfully.

Lieutenant

Lieutenants act as micromanagers to the Elite. For smaller missions, requiring more than two grunts, teams are headed by Lieutentants.

Scientist

Team Rocket has two kinds of scientists. The ones who work within the organisation and the ones that work for them on a freelance basis. The main fields of science currently researched by team rocket are weapons, technology and soldiers.

Grunt

The most common of ranks, a Grunt is generally considered as a disposable pawn rather than a useful member. They are used for most missions, and are often partnered up with another Grunt for increased effectiveness in lower-profile missions.

New Recruit

Below grunt status, a new recruit is someone who has either been accepted into the Team Rocket academy or having been scouted after showing promise.
