Ranks
Ranks of the Armed Forces of Kerussiria are the same amongst all branches expect the Deterrence Task Force, which uses the rank system of the Kerusian Law Enforcement. Each branch is distinguished by a prefix and designated frame colour that surrounds the rank, with Etiva- (ground [black frame]), Aẋuh- (air [white frame]), Vaṡṡ- (sea [blue frame]) or Țket- (steel, [red frame]) before their rank. Ranks are displayed on an enlisted/officer's uniform cap, collar and helmet. Though amongst ranks on the fields, there is barely a difference in war time between for example a sub-lieutenant and a general the biggest difference is rank symbology and this allows higher ranking officials a sort of veil of protection against targeted attacks against them.
