Military ranks of Zimbabwe
The Military ranks of Zimbabwe are the military insignia used by the Zimbabwe Defence Forces. Being a former British colony, Zimbabwe shares a rank structure similar to that of the United Kingdom, and has replaced the military ranks of Rhodesia since 1980.
Zimbabwe is a landlocked country, and does therefore not possess a navy.
