Military ranks of Rhodesia
The Military ranks of Rhodesia were the military insignia used by the Rhodesian Security Forces. Since Rhodesia was a landlocked country, the Security Force did not have a navy. Being a former British colony, Rhodesia shared a rank structure similar to that of the United Kingdom.[1]
Since 1980, they have been replaced by the military ranks of Zimbabwe.
