Czech military ranks

The ranks are common for all its forces (Ground, Air, Special, Cyber and Information, Territorial).

They are displayed on the beret or a service hat, as well as on the chest of the battledress.

On the display uniform, the rank insignia is worn on epaulettes and a head cover, and differs slightly in the Air Force, where it is displayed against a dark blue fabric (such as is the colour of the Air Forces' uniform), instead of the khaki fabric, common for the rest of the forces.

The type of Corps is being distinguished by lapel badges on display uniforms, and also, to a degree, by the colour of the military beret.

[1] During the post-war communist era, the Czechoslovak People's Army discontinued that model of insignia in 1950s in favour of the insignia adopted from the Soviet army,[2] but the original ranks' model was again re-established in the 1960s, with several modifications.
