Military ranks of Ivory Coast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Military ranks of Ivory Coast are the military insignia used by the Armed Forces of Ivory Coast. Being a former colony of France, Ivory Coast shares a rank structure similar to that of France which in this case are in vertical rather than horizontal stripes for officers and warrant officers, unlike those in other Francophone national armed forces in Africa.
