Belgian Army. Officers’ service uniform
The grade of Commandant has no corresponding one in the United States Army; the rank is between those of Major and Captain.
The grade of Adjutant corresponds to that of a Warrant Officer in the United States Navy and Marine Corps.
The service uniform of the enlisted men in the Belgian Army is similar in design and color to that of the British soldier.
The rank of noncommissioned officers is indicated by stripes upon the cuffs as follows:—
| Regimental Sergeant Major | Three narrow stripes around the cuff parallel to the lower edge. |
| Sergeant Major | Two stripes around the cuff with two diagonal stripes above them. |
| First Sergeant | Two stripes around the cuff. |
| Quartermaster Sergeant | One stripe around the cuff with one diagonal stripe above it. |
| Sergeant | One stripe around the cuff. |
| Corporal | One stripe around the cuff, narrower than that worn by a sergeant. |
Specialty marks are worn upon the sleeves above the elbow to mark men assigned to special duties.
| Engineers | A plumed helmet. |
| Aviator | The King’s monogram with an eagle’s wing at each side. |
| Hospital Corps | A caduceus surrounded by a wreath. |
