Spanish term or phrase: en su grado de Oficial
Estoy traduciendo una condecoración de un militar venezolano.

"El Presidente de la República, previo el voto favorable del Consejo de la Orden, confiere la condecoración de la Orden del Libertador **en su grado de "Oficial"** al Capitán de Navío xxx. Esta orden instituida en memoria del Héroe fundador de cinco Repúblicas de la América del Sur, es el honor más preciado que la Patria acuerda a sus servidores..."

En Wikipedia, encontré un artículo sobre la Orden del Libertador (Order of the Liberator) y salen las siguientes clases:

"First Class (Grand Cordon)
Second Class (Grand Officer)
Third Class (Commander)
Fourth Class (Officer)
Fifth Class (Knight)"

¿In its class/ degree/ grade of Officer?

Muchas gracias por adelantado

officer
Explanation:
I would just say "appointed Captain xxx as an officer of the Orden del Libertador". I don't think you should translate the name of the order.

neutral  Angelo Berbotto: I think that using 'appointing' could create misunderstandings... in relation to the decorations handed down by HM the Queen, they use the verb to make.
