===Ranks=== {{main|Comparative military ranks of Korea}} In the South Korean armed forces, ranks fall into one of four categories: [[Officer (armed forces)|commissioned officer]], [[warrant officer]], [[non-commissioned officer]], and [[Enlisted rank|junior enlisted]] ("''Byeong''"), in decreasing order of authority. Commissioned officer ranks are subdivided into "''Jangseong''"-level ([[general officer|general]]) officers, "''Yeonggwan''"-level ([[field officer|field-grade]]) officers, and "''Wigwan''"-level ([[Junior officer|company-grade]]) officers. All three branches of the South Korean Armed Forces share the same rank insignia and titles in Korean (The English titles are given as comparative examples with the US Army ranks.). ROK Navy commissioned officer ranks have two distinct sets of rank insignia: On [[Full dress uniform|dress uniform]], a series of stripes similar to [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] naval ranks are worn; on service uniforms, working uniforms, and special uniform situations (combat utilities and flight suits), the rank insignia are the same as the equivalent rank in the Army or the Air Force. ====Commissioned officer ranks==== {{Republic of Korea Armed Forces officer ranks}} ====Warrant officer ranks==== {| style="border:1px solid #8888aa; background-color:#f7f8ff; padding:5px; font-size:95%; margin: 0px 12px 12px 0px;" |- style="background:#ccc;" !
