	Brevet - LoveToKnow 1911
		The use of the word is mainly confined to a commission, or official document, giving to an officer in the army a permanent, as opposed to a local and temporary, rank in the service higher than that he holds substantively in his corps.
		In the British army "brevet rank" exists only above the rank of captain, but in the United States army it is possible to obtain a brevet as first lieutenant.
		In France the term brevete is particularly used with respect to the General Staff, to express the equivalent of the English "passed Staff College" (p.s.c.).

	Brevet Rank In The Civil War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Brevet rank, usually an honor, was borrowed from the British and introduced into the American army during the Revolutionary War.
		Army Regulation, published periodically, stipulated that an officer functioned at this brevet rank on special assignment of the president in commands composed of different corps and when in detachments or on courts-martial composed of different corps.
		Many officers held brevet commissions higher than their ordinary rank, usually for gallant actions or meritorious service in combat or to allow them to serve in a staff position.

	Rocky Mountain Cycling Club 2004 Brevet Rules and Tips
		The local (U.S.) sanctioning body for the ACP is Randonneurs USA (RUSA), which is authorized by the ACP to organize brevets in the U.S. Each cyclist's individual ride in a brevet is assigned a certification number by the ACP -- this certifies your ride.
		Alternatively, the brevet organizer may specify an "informational checkpoint" where the rider is to note some feature of the surroundings on the brevet card, along with the time.
		for successful completion of individual brevets are available for order: a bronze medal for the 200km, a silver-plate medal for the 300km, a vermilion medal for the 400km, a gold medal for the 600km, and a silver medal for the 1000km.

	Brevet Promotions and Rank
		During the war itself, brevets were very difficult to get and were a sign of valor, but on March 13, 1865, the War Department gave one brevet and sometimes two to nearly every officer on duty with the army.
		Brevets in the Regular army were sometimes used to honor men who had already been brevetted Major General in the Volunteers and could not be brevetted again (in the Volunteers), as no brevet Lieutenant Generals were created during the war (Winfield Scott had been made Brevet Lieutenant General [of Regulars] during the Mexican War).
		Brevet ranks were authorized for the Regular Army in the Articles of War of 1806; they were authorized for the US Volunteers on March 3, 1863.

	NRHC Brevet Club
		Membership in the Brevet Club confers special privileges and is limited to the first fifty donors who contribute $1,000 or more toward the development of the NRHC at Fort Missoula.

	RUSA: FAQ
		This is because the brevet medal design changes the year after each PBP, so to minimize expenses, the ACP likes to have the exact count prior to striking the last set of medals before the new design is used.
		Brevets sanctioned by RUSA are of the "allure libre" type since we are affiliated with the ACP.
		The RUSA brevets also count for qualifying for all American 1200k events, and may be acceptable as qualifiers for other long events around the world (except PBP).

	2007 Brevets
		The shortest Brevet is a 200km (125 miles) and is an entry point for those looking for a challenge greater than our standard centuries, the longest is the 1200km (720 miles plus) done in 90 hours or less with little rest or time to waste.
		We ride at night on the longer brevets, and it is recommended to have two forms of headlights, a Primary Headlight bright enough to see the road ahead, and a Secondary smaller one used to be seen by motorists, and two taillights, one used as Primary, the other as backup.
		If a rider earns a brevet in the week before the official event on a "worker's ride", the date of the official brevet is the counting date for the R-12 Award.

		SIR brevet participants must ride safely, obey all rules of the road, wear helmets, and follow RUSA and SIR rules, as well as any specific requirements outlined by the brevet organizer.
		Brevet participants should be aware of the inherent risks of long-distance cycling and must understand that they have responsibility for their own safety.
		Typically, it is reasonable for a rider to move up one distance from a previously completed RUSA sanctioned brevet in the same or previous season or to attempt a brevet of equal distance completed within the last four seasons.

	Brevet (military) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was not unheard of for an officer to have several different ranks simultaneously, such as being a brevet major general of volunteers, an actual brigadier general of volunteers, a brevet lieutenant colonel in the regular army, and an actual regular army captain.
		The practice of brevetting disappeared from the (regular) U.S. military at the end of the 19th century; honors were bestowed instead with a series of medals.
		In the United Kingdom, brevet commissions were confined to grades not lower than the rank of captain or higher than the rank of lieutenant-colonel.

	My first brevet
		The "brevet" in the broad sense continues and there are many more challanges up the road.
		Yes I was part of this brevet and this time I was not going to hear or read of other people’s experiences but I would be part of this ride myself.
		I feel good in the sense that I feel that the completion of the Brevet is a feasible target now, and that by itself is a major achievement for me. I did not prepare as well as I originally planned - did few midweek rides and did not do more that a 100km ride.

	Brevet Union Generals of the Civil War
		The following explanation of brevet promotions is taken from the alt.war.civil.usa FAQ and was written by Stephen Schmidt (schmidsj@unvax.union.edu) with assistance from Jim Epperson and Justin Sanders.
		Some brevet promotions were made in the US Army between 1869 and the Spanish-American war for frontier service.
		Also, brevet promotions were provided for in the Confederate Army regulations, but the only Confederate brevet promotions of which I am aware are a number where enlisted men were promoted to the rank of Brevet 2nd Lt.

		These rides are randonneuring brevets and this entails doing some paperwork to prove you completed the event route in the time limit.
		Before you turn in your brevet card and store receipts, be sure to sign the back of the card in the correct place for the rider, not that for the organizer.

		Ceci dit, un brevet mondial devrait bien sûr être un système abordable pour les inventeurs indépendants et les petites et moyennes enterprises (PME).

		The brevet system was totally overwhelmed and effectively destroyed by the avalanche of brevet promotions resulting from the Civil War.

	Brevet?? - Women's Cycling Discussion Forums
		In "randonneuring", it means two things: certification of having successfully done a randonné, --indicated by a small numbered sticker placed on a completed brevet card --, as well as, by extension the long-distance event itself (at least 200 kilometers in length).
		Completing a successful brevet means one's ride has been certified and registered in France, and the rider's name is added to the roll of honor, going all the way back to 1921.
		As used in the "randonneuring" world, the terms brevet and randonnée are often interchangeable, but in common cycling usage, a randonnée might be considered to be less structured or formal than a brevet.
