Primarily used to denote a support role within army structures, often in strategy and planning.

Military Context

'Adjutant' describes a job, not a specific rank, and can be held by officers of various levels.

Not a Rank

Often preceded by ranks, creating compound titles like 'adjutant general', denoting higher positions.

Refers specifically to a species of stork, observed in the Indian subcontinent, recognizable by stature.

Named for its stately walk, which resembles the formal march of a military officer.

Some species of adjutant storks are endangered, so it's a term often related to conservation.
