Indonesian military ranks

The Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) use a unified ranking system across the Army, Navy, and Air Force, with most insignia standardized. The Marine Corps, although part of the Navy, is an exception: it uses Army-style rank titles while retaining Navy-style insignia, with blue replacing red for enlisted personnel.

Flag officers hold branch-specific titles, such as Jenderal in the Army, Laksamana in the Navy, and Marsekal in the Air Force. Junior and middle-ranking officers use common titles (e.g., Kolonel, Mayor, Kapten) but add a corps abbreviation. For example, an Army colonel in the Infantry branch is styled Kolonel INF, a Navy colonel in the Supply Corps is styled Kolonel Laut (S), and an Air Force colonel in the Electronics Corps is styled Kolonel (Lek). Enlisted personnel share the same titles in the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, where the junior enlisted ranks are styled Prajurit. In the Navy, the equivalent junior enlisted ranks are styled Kelasi, and Navy enlisted personnel use corps abbreviations after their titles.

Insignia follow a standardized system: flag officers wear stars, middle-ranking officers use jasmine buds, and junior officers use bars. Senior NCOs use wavy bars, NCOs use yellow chevrons, senior enlisted personnel wear red chevrons (blue in the Navy and Marine Corps), and junior enlisted personnel wear red bars (blue in the Navy and Marine Corps).
