Ranks of the Corkonian Armed Forces
The ranks of the Corkonian Armed Forces are largely inspired by both the British armed forces and Irish defence forces of real life. Largely the rank structure stems from Ireland. The ranks have been changed many time but with the Corkonian Armed Forces 2024 Re-Organisation Act they were finalised to be these current rank insignias.
