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
(see
fig. 10).
Figure 10. Military Ranks and Insignia, 1991
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.
Data as of June 1991
