Military ranks of San Marino explained

The Military ranks of San Marino are the military insignia used by the Sammarinese Armed Forces. Due to the history of San Marino and its cultural ties to Italy, San Marino has a similar rank structure to that of Italian Armed Forces.

The rank insignia worn vary depending on whether the Italian: alta uniforme (high uniform), Italian: uniforme di ordinanza (ordinance uniform), or Italian: uniforme da campo (field uniform) is worn.^{[1] [2]} The Italian: alta uniforme distinguishes rank by a series of chevrons and knots on the lower sleeves. The Italian: uniforme di ordinanza distinguishes ranks using inverted chevrons on the epaulets of enlisted ranks, and using a series of Italian: Tre Penne and towers with battlements for officers. Officers in the Italian: uniforme di ordinanza also have a separate set of rank insignia displayed on their lower sleeves, made up of a series of bars and either one, two or three towers for junior, senior, and general officers respectively. General officers also have Greca in their rank insignia similar to their Italian counterparts. The Italian: uniforme da campo displays the same insignia as the epaulets of the Italian: uniforme di ordinanza worn on either rank slides or patches.^[3]

Officers

Officers of all Corps follow the same rank titles, with differences in the colors of the rank insignia worn dependent on the Corps.^[4]

Enlisted

The enlisted ranks follow a standard format with Italian: Caporale being present in most but not all of the corps and Italian: Sergente Maggiore/Maresciallo only being present in the corps that are involved in policing duties.^[5]
