Commodore /kəmədr/ (abbreviated as CDRE or CDREPN) is a one-star commissioned armed senior officer rank in the Pakistan Navy, coast guards, and marines. It is the fourth-highest rank in Pakistan armed services with a NATO code of OF-6, it is worn on epaulettes with a one-star insignia, it ranks above OF-5 rank Captain and below two-star rank Rear Admiral. Commodore is equivalent to the rank of Brigadier of Pakistan Army and Air Commodore of the Pakistan Air Force. A Pakistani Commodore rank may be abbreviated as CDREPN to distinguish it from the same ranks offered in other countries, although there is no official abbreviation available for a Pakistani commodore.
