The United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland Defence Forces (UKIN-DF) comprise the following services:

The Minister of Defence and the Minister of State for the Defence Forces administer the UKIN-DF, with secretaries of State supervising the respective services. Overarching control of the UKIN-DF flows from the Defence Council of the External Affairs Section of the Council of State, chaired by the Sovereign and the Prime Minister.

UKINDF Rank Structure

Ranks according to modified RL NATO rank structure, with warrant officers officially considered part of "Other Ranks" rather than as a separate stratum. Ranks noted with (*) are granted to one person alone in each service, during wartime, and may be rescinded by the Crown or State upon retirement for gross misconduct. Ranks noted with (**) are wartime ranks infrequently bestowed upon individuals. In all cases, the respective Chiefs of Staff are considered the seniormost officers in the service and are themselves subject to the will of the Crown. Persons with those ranks are granted life peerages with the rank of baron. Ranks with (***) are granted to one serving person. Persons retiring with rank of HMWODF are granted the honorific "Honourable" and a stipend to be retained throughout their life whilst in good behaviour.

Note on insignia: For enlisted personnel, chevrons are point down, with rank on upper arm, forearm on dress uniforms if warrant officer (upper arm on duty uniforms). Officer ranks in Navy and Air Force on lower sleeves in dress or garrison uniforms, on epaulettes on duty uniforms. If body armour is worn, rank is on chest. Naval officer bands and bars are surmounted by loop inscribed with an initial or symbol denoting branch of service. Air force officer bands and bars are surmounted by a stylised tern with the symbol of branch of service within its claws.

Rank Equivalencies and Explanations

Several ranks within the UKIN-DF have different names dependent upon the branch of service or duties performed. There are a plethora of titles based on the generic rank structure for the junior ratings (e.g. Leading Artificer) in the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Navy. Indeed, there are so many titles that they, in sum, exceed the scope of the present document.

Within the Royal Isselmere-Nieland Marines and the Isselmere-Nielander Army, there are likewise differences in rank-titles within each branch of service. These latter are presented above. Please note that in the Marines, a first and second class Private is referred to as 'Marine'.
