The NCR army ranks
According to one of Fallout 2 endings shaken by the assassination of Vice-President Carlson, right-wing elements seize control of the Congress and set the New California Republic on the path to military rule. Eventually the survivors of the Enclave find a home in the ranks of NCR.

It is not certain, if the NCR got under military rule after destruction of the Enclave and if the survivors of the Enclave found a home in the ranks of NCR. At least one of them, Arcade Grannon, joined Followers of the Apocalypse however. It is known, that the NCR army mimicked some pre-war armed forces ranks also. During long war against Brotherhood of Steel following destruction of the Enclave in the NCR army were present such ranks as:
