Chasu is a superior military rank of North Korea, often translated as Vice-Marshal. The rank is senior to that of Daejang and junior to that of Wonsu. The rank is seldom bestowed upon the professional military, and appears to be rather a combined political-military position.
The insignia for a Chasu is influenced by the obsolete Marshal of the Soviet Union insignia, superimposing a North Korean national crest upon a Marshal’s insignia star.
