Military / Defense
German term or phrase: Verwendungsgruppe
OK, now here's one for the guys:
Aus einem österreichischen Bundesheerzeugnis:

Es wird festgestellt, dass Sie gemäß § 152, BGBl. XX, auf die Dauer der Zuweisung eines Arbeitsplatzes der *Verwendungsgruppe* XX jenen Amtstitel als Verwendungsbezeichnung zu führen haben der für eine Berufsmilitärperson der Verwendugnsgruppe XX in der entsprechenden Gehaltsstufe auf diesen Arbeitsplatz vorgesehen ist.

All that, just to tell someone that now he's a Sergeant!

Would greatly appreciate some help! Thanks!
