Russian term

на все виды довольствия с присвоением звания "рядовой" на должность "курсант"

Russian to English Law/Patents Military / Defense
This is the full sentence (it's an excerpt from a commanding officer's military order):
"...зачислить [такого-то] в списки личного состава войсковой части № __ на все виды довольствия с присвоением звания "рядовой" на должность "курсант"..."

I have plenty of suggestions from dictionaries and encyclopedias, but I need something that would sound authentic and culturally appropriate in English at the same time reflecting the specifics of the Russian Air Force.

I'm particularly interested to see how native speakers would relay the 'full scholarship' thing, as well the difference between "рядовой" and "курсант" as between "звание" and "должность".

I'd prefer to grade the answer that puts it all in one sentence.

Thank you for your help.

just a note: you wrote - "commanding officer's military order" - if ti's an order from a commanding officer how can it be other than 'military' - i mean "military" redundant there.

The repetiveness of "на" is throwing me off a little, but I think I have captured the essence of the order.
