Historically, until the fall of the Stroessner regime, Paraguayan insignia were based on the Prussian system, as was the case for many other South American countries, only with slight distinctions.[3][better source needed]
Two individuals held the rank of Field Marshal of the Paraguayan Armies, the highest distinction in the nation. They were Francisco Solano López (during his own lifetime) and José Félix Estigarribia (awarded after his death). However, the rank itself is just a ceremonial honour and does not officially belong to the ranks of the Paraguayan Army.
Both Francisco Solano López and José Félix Estigarribia had the "official" rank of General of the Army (General de Ejército).
