Military ranks of Chad
 | This article needs more citations. (December 2021) |
The Military ranks of Chad are the military insignia used by the Chad National Army. Chad is a landlocked country, and does therefore not possess a navy. Being a former colony of France, Chad shares a rank structure similar to that of France.[1]
In 2020, the National Assembly established and awarded the rank of Marshal to Idriss Déby.[2] On 9 December 2024, the National Transitional Council elevated Mahamat Déby to the rank of Marshal.[3]
