History

In the British Indian Army during the British Raj, JCOs were known as Viceroy’s Commissioned Officers (VCOs) except in Nepal, which was never a British colony. Under the British, there was a clear colonial context, with the VCOs being the highest ranks that an Indian could attain while the full commissioned officers were British – a distinction which disappeared with Indian independence
