Hi there. As much as I appreciated this article it didn't actually help me in any way with my research, as it might hold most relevant insignia but not the appropriate Japanese names of the ranks, only the according translation of the ranks. It would be much appreciated if you could complete the entry. 78.86.106.182 ( talk) 22:12, 26 February 2008 (UTC)Greets, Chris reply

Where is the graphic showing the Ground Defense Force's ranks and insignia.

It was deleted twice in 2007 as WP:CSD reason I4 - see http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:Log&page=File:Rank_Japan_Ground.png

Without the diagram, the text in this section is gibberish. -- Panzer71 ( talk) 20:57, 1 September 2010 (UTC) reply

The graphics are fine, but some explanation (or link to it) would be helpful as to where/when the different versions are used.
