Identifying ranks

In the Uniformed Services, there is a hierarchy of ranks. You’ll be able to identify the rank of the person with the insignia.

During your first days, you may find it difficult to recognise the different ranks. But, you’ll soon be able to spot the difference from long distances!

View the interactive chart below to learn about the most common ranks you’ll encounter as a recruit in the SAF, SPF and SCDF. You can also quiz your understanding of the ranks by taking the rank test.

Do bear in mind that the list of ranks covered here are not exhaustive.
