Notes

  1. Marshal of Yugoslavia was an honorary title of the Supreme Commander of Armed Forces and not a military rank. The first and the only one was given to Josip Broz Tito, who (beside the title of Maršal and Supreme Commander), also held the lifelong function of the President of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the leader of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.
  2. General was highest military rank for deputy supreme commander. Established 1955 and Abolished 1974. Ivan Gošnjak, while serving as a defence minister and deputy supreme commander of SFRY, was considered for promotion to this rank. No officers were promoted to this rank.
