Mulāzim (Arabic: ملازم; Ottoman Turkish: Mülazım) is a junior officer rank in many armed forces of the Arab world, roughly equivalent to lieutenant.
The rank can usually be split into three different grades: In James Henry Skene's 1851 review of the Ottoman military, he noted that Mulazim were paid 280-350 piastres per month (including rations), perhaps more than contemporary British soldiers; as officers, their European-influenced uniforms included gold epaulettes, and distinctive lace on their cuffs as a mark of rank.
