Military ranks of Chad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Military ranks of Chad are the military insignia used by the Chad National Army. Chad is a landlocked country, and does therefore not possess a navy. Being a former colony of France, Chad shares a rank structure similar to that of France.[1]

In 2020, the National Assembly established and awarded the rank of Marshal to Idriss Déby.[2]
