In Myanmar, military rank system and insignia are used by the Myanmar Armed Forces, its auxiliary services, some government departments and some civilian organizations.

All the government employees are called "civil service personnel" (နိုင်ငံ့ဝန်ထမ်း, lit. 'State's employee'. Their ranks and appointments are grouped into two category:

1. Officer (အရာထမ်း) or gazetted officer (ပြန်တမ်းဝင်အရာရှိ),^[1] whose promotion and posting are recorded in the Gazette of Myanmar (မြန်မာနိုင်ငံပြန်တမ်း)^[2]
2. Staff (အမှုထမ်း) or Other Ranks (အခြားအဆင့်) ranks below the gazetted officers.^[1]

Personnels of the Armed Forces and the Police Force are included in the civil service personnels but the rules of civil service personnels are not applied to them because of the special nature of their duties.^[3]

The rank insignia of Myanmar Armed Forces is the basic form for all other rank insignia in Myanmar.

• Some departments/organizations use the same insignia as that of the Armed Forces but with different colour, (example: rank insignia of Myanmar Police Force use silver stars instead of golden ones).^[4]
• Some use the same style as that of the Armed Forces but with organization's symbol in place of military stars (example: rank insignia of Myanmar Red Cross Society use red crosses in place of rank stars).
• Those departments that don't use the military-like uniform system, use the pin badges with rank insignia (example: rank insignia of General Administration Department).^[5]

Myanmar Armed Forces

All three branches of Myanmar Armed Forces — Myanmar Army, Myanmar Navy and Myanmar Air Force — use the same rank system and insignia, the same rank titles in Burmese. But the English translations of titles are different according to the branch. For example, the three-star general rank in Burmese is "ဗိုလ်ချုပ်" (bo jhoke') for all three branches, but for the English translation, it is "Major General" for Army and Air Force, while it is "Vice Admiral" for the Navy.

Officers

In Myanmar Armed Forces, the officer cadets who have graduated from Defense Services Academies (DSA, DSMA, DSTA, etc.) and Officer Training Schools (OTS) are directly commissioned as gazetted officers with the rank of Second Lieutenant or Sub-lieutenant.^[6]

The Armed Forces has a unique general officer rank: Vice-senior general (Burmese: ဒုတိယဗိုလ်ချုပ်မှူးကြီး, romanized: Du ti ya' Bo Jhoke' Mūchē), a rank between the five-star rank of Senior general and the four-star rank of General/Admiral. It is also a four-star rank but it is higher than the ordinary General or Admiral.
