GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs / Danish Defence Commissioning Scroll
Danish term or phrase: at regne som
The language in this military commissioning scroll is a bit fancy, so I'd just like to make I'm right track! The rest of this sentence is:

Forsvarschefen ansætter Dem hereved fra den XX at regne som løjtnant ...

I have translated this as:

The Chief of Defence hereby appoints you, from [date], to be considered as lieutenant ...

Any and all advice welcome!
Thank you in advance.

Explanation:
My understanding of this sentence is as follows:

"hereved fra den XX at regne" means: hereby as of xx
"som løjtnant" means as lieutenant

In other words, the three words "at regne som" are parts of two separat parts of the sentence.

Oh dear, spelling going haywire here...
