After gaining experience, a Jiralhanae was promoted to the rank of [[Jiralhanae Major|Major]]. The equipment used by Majors were basic, but significantly better than that of the Minors. Majors often commanded Jiralhanae Minors and [[Unggoy]]. [[Jiralhanae Ultra|Ultra]] was the highest rank obtainable by standard Jiralhanae infantry personnel.
