Military ranks of Ukraine
The military ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) were established in March 1992, when Ukraine adopted the Law on Military Duty and Military Service 1992.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have two styles of ranks:
Whilst previously Ukraine maintained a USSR-style system, its current system follows a NATO standardization.
On 17 October 2019, the parliament of Ukraine approved a change in the rank structure of enlisted men in order to conform to the NATO STANAG 2116 standardization. The change was implemented with the 2020 military reform. This resulted in the abolition of the rank of General of the Army of Ukraine by Law nr. 680-IX, on 1 October 2020.
Effective 23 May 2023, the Marine Corps was separated from the Navy as an independent branch of the AFU. The Corps retained the shoulder and sleeve insignia inherited from the Navy, pending the introduction of a new set of insignia designs.[citation needed]
The following are the rank insignia of commissioned officers.
The rank insignia of non-commissioned officers and enlisted personnel.
Certain branches are suffixed with a descriptor indicating their specialty branch or if they are reservists or have retired.
