Editing Master sergeant (section)

== Israel Defense Forces ==
The {{Script/Hebrew|רב-סמל ראשון}} {{lang|he-latn|rav samal rishon}} (abbreviated "{{lang|he-latn|rasar}}", master sergeant) is a non-commissioned officer ({{Script/Hebrew|נגדים}}) rank in the [[Israel Defense Forces]] (IDF). Because the IDF is an integrated force, they have a unique rank structure. IDF ranks are the same in all services (army, navy and air force). The ranks are derived from those of the paramilitary {{lang|he-latn|[[Haganah]]}} developed in the [[Mandatory Palestine|British Mandate of Palestine]] period to protect the {{lang|he-latn|[[Yishuv]]}}. This origin is reflected in the slightly compacted [[Israel Defense Forces ranks|IDF rank structure]].<ref>{{cite web |title=עושים לכם סדר בדרגות |trans-title=Order of ranks |url=https://www.idf.il/%D7%90%D7%AA%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%A4%D7%A7%D7%93-%D7%99%D7%A9-%D7%9C%D7%99-%D7%A9%D7%90%D7%9C%D7%94/%D7%9E%D7%AA%D7%92%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%99%D7%9D/%D7%94%D7%93%D7%A8%D7%92%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%91%D7%A6%D7%94%D7%9C/ |website=idf.il |publisher=[[Israel Defense Forces]] |access-date=3 June 2021 |language=he}}</ref>
