Sudan
Uniforms, Ranks, and Insignia
Before 1970 the highest officer grade in the rank structure was
that of fariq (equivalent to a lieutenant general), but
new grades were added when Nimeiri became a general and, later,
a field marshal. As of 1991, however, there were no officers higher
than lieutenant general, and only five, including Bashir, at that
rank
The army service uniform was dark green, with insignia of rank
displayed in gold on shoulder boards. It differed only slightly
from police officer uniforms, which were another shade of green
with black shoulder boards. A green beret was standard in the
army except for airborne units, which wore red berets. The police
wore black berets. Officers of field grade and above frequently
wore service caps. The air force uniform was blue, although the
insignia of rank were the same as for the army. The standard naval
uniform was white with blue shoulder boards.
