The patron god of the orcish military is Lei-Kung, god of thunder and war. The military's rank insignia are, therefore, designed after Lei-Kung's religious symbols. Following are the ranks listed in ascending order.
Whenever one advances within an insignia level, the previous insignia for that level is removed and replaced with the next higher insignia. When one advances between insignia levels, the highest insignia of the previous level is retained and the lowest insignia of the newest level is added.
| Title | Command | Insignia |
| Ul Orog | None | one green war drum |

The following military honors denote exemplary service to the military and/or the Dynasty of Tribes. Most orcs serve honorably yet never earn one of these commendations.
The Sash of Honorable Service is the most common honor conferred for service above and beyond that normally demanded. The next most common honor is a battle-patch, representing exemplary service in a particularly important or crucial battle. After battle-patches, the next most common honors are typically the Field Hammer of Melee and the Shoulder Spike of Valor, each particularly prestigious awards that garner their wearer immense respect. The rest of the honors are either specialized or rare. They are listed in roughly descending order of importance.
The individual pieces of leather armor, although ceremonial in fashion, are functional as leather armor in combat. Except for the Emperor's Cloak, the individual pieces of armor provide only AC 9 and are intended to be worn over other armor. Because they are not designed to be actual armor, they do not affect spellcasting. The Emperor's Cloak, on the other hand, is a full suit of studded leather armor and does prevent spellcasting. All of the armor is made out of rugged camel's hide stained black, and ornamentation includes embroidery with platinum, gold, and emerald thread.
| Title of Honor | Purpose | Description |
| Emperor's Cloak | The highest honor in the Dynasty of Tribes, typically representing service that has saved the Dynasty or Emperor. | A ceremonial platinum-studded black leather full cloak with a full head.
