Military ranks of Uganda
(Redirected from Rank insignia of the Ugandan People's Defence Force)
The military ranks of Uganda are the military insignia used by the Uganda People's Defence Force. Uganda is a landlocked country and therefore does not have a navy. Being a former British protectorate, Uganda shares a rank structure similar to that of the United Kingdom.[1]
