Military ranks of Kenya
The Military ranks of Kenya are the military insignia used by the Kenya Defence Forces. Being a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, Kenya shares a rank structure similar to that of the United Kingdom - especially the British Army. Unlike other Commonwealth armed forces, the rank system used by the RAF and the RN is not used.
