Ranks
The North Pacific Army (NPA) uses a rank system to show seniority and experience in raiding and defending. Promotions are based on being active and taking part in missions/operations.
*The Chief of Tech and Chief of Staff are not ranks, they are appointed positions by the Minister of Defense.
Officers
Enlisted Personnel should be promoted to officer rank when they have been successful in multiple missions, exercised leadership among their peers, and demonstrated loyalty to the NPA and knowledge of its rules and regulations. Officers are eligible to lead missions with permission of the High Command.
Note: Everyone with the rank of General or Colonel is a member of the High Command. Everyone with the rank of Warrant Officer is an officer in training.
 General GEN |  Colonel COL |  Lieutenant LTN |
Warrant Officers
A temporary rank for soldiers training to become Officers.
 Warrant Officer WO |
Enlisted Personnel
Except with special permission of the Minister of Defense, all personnel begin their service in the NPA at the rank of Private and are promoted up the ranks based on a set of criteria for skills and operation attendance.
Note: Everyone with the rank of Private is a soldier in training.
Staff Sergeant SSG |  Sergeant SGT |  Corporal CPL |  Private First Class PFC |  Private PFC |
