RANK STRUCTURE
Rank in the Imperial Forces of Defense are structured off of the U.S. system with only minor differences in rank, and there duties at that rank. The Forces of Defense include the Heer (Army), the Marine (Navy) and the Truppen (Air Service).
For example, a common micronationalist with no macro military experience was only able to rank up as high as a three star general. However, someone with macro military service either prior or current was automatically given commision as a Field Marshal.
Any higher education would give them commision as General right away should the soldier request it.
