Military ranks of Paraguay
The Military ranks of Paraguay are the military insignia used by the Armed Forces of Paraguay. As a former colony of Spain, Paraguay inherited a rank structure similar to that of Spain.
Historically, until the fall of the Stroessner regime , Paraguayan insignia were based on the Prussian system, as was the case for many other South American countries, only with slight distinctions.[1]
