The Islamic Federation uses the same ranks for both army and navy. General officers wear a crescent, field grade a crown, and junior officers a bar; higher ranks in each category are denoted in the navy by one or more stars, in the army by crossed sabers. A naval aqid's shoulder boards, for example, would have a crown and two stars. Enlisted insiginia is worn on the sleeve, and ranges from the rais ruquba's star (or sabers), rocker, crescent and three inverted chevrons, down to the single inverted chevron of the jundi awwal--a jundi wears no rank insignia.
