Military ranks of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces

The Military ranks of Cambodia are the military insignia used by the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.

In 1979-1993 the military forces of the People's Republic of Kampuchea used a Soviet-style system of ranks and insignia.^[1][2] The opposing forces of Khmer Rouge did not have insignia at all, following the Chinese Cultural Revolution traditions.
