Template:Rank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- A few important notes
- this is meant to be a simple table - it does not exist to be an exhaustive definition of all military ranks on earth.
- different degrees of ranks (Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel) should not be repeated
- Air forces either follow the Land forces, or the Naval forces. Group Captain should be inferred to be similar to Captain. It needs no separate column
- Rows need not be equivalent in stature; that Admiral is higher than Marshal does not imply that it is a higher rank.
