A military rank infobox may be used to summarize information about a military rank in a particular service branch of a country's armed forces. The infobox should be added using the {{infobox military rank}} template, as shown below:

{{Infobox military rank
| name           = 
| native_name    = 
| image          = 
| image_size     = 
| alt            =
| caption        = 
| image2         = 
| image_size2    = 
| alt2           =
| caption2       = 
| image3         = 
| image_size3    = 
| alt3           =
| caption3       = 
| country        = 
| service branch = 
| abbreviation   = 
| rank insignia  =
| rank           = 
| NATO rank      = 
| Non-NATO rank  = 
| formation      = 
| abolished      = 
| rank group     =

| lower rank     = 
| equivalents    =

  • higher rank – the next highest rank.
