I think this is the right place for this question...
What insignia does the UN use for rank? They probably don't follow the US... my guess is something similar to the British. 1-3 pips for 2LT - CPT, then either 1-3 mini UN Globe wreath/crown emblems for MAJ - COL, or a combination of globe & pips. Your thoughts?

From what I've seen in the VN, they use wedge-shaped pips attached to that...collar...bit thing (I'm no good with clothing terminology, okay?). Yuuko on the other hand seems to be wearing Tron lines.
In fact, I don't think we ever see a UN officer who wears a normal uniform with epaulets like other armies have, given those point shoulders things. IJA certainly follows the pip-and-sakura routine, but the UN? I don't think so.

.... The fuck. Motherfucking hell. Terminal Lance says it for me: what kind of butt-fucking sorcery is this?.
Also, I'm quite sure that this happens on a regular basis with UN uniforms.

Holy cow, thank goodness the Singapore Army don't have their ranks like that! Goose is right: from a distance they'd all look the same! Can you imagine looking at this guy approaching and trying to figure out if what rank he is just from a couple of squiggily lines on this blue patch?

I suspect this is why much of the TE cast were 2LTs. I know for me this would be a nightmare, especially since I need new glasses. -_-
On further reflection, this now gives me inspiration for Garuda Wings. XD

Of course, the worse is Marimo, who goes from being an IJA Major and Fuji School Aggressor and 1st TAW ace to being a Drill Sergeant. The pay must be good. Either that or Yuuko's bed is very comfortable~ ...why yes, I ship YuukoxMarimo for lulz and Yuuko trolling.

Its not that they get demoted for nothing. Its the same all over the world IRL where exchange of military personnel happens, and Senior Staff needs to be trained by the local forces. So since they cant be expected to function in the other army at the position their rank would normally hold, the incoming personnel would normally be given a temporary downgrade in rank, so that they can get used to the culture and way of doing things without having to learn while being in command (which would cause some lost of respect).
It must be said though, that the MLAverse does cut off quite a bit, turning Colonels and Majors into LTs and Sgts... which IRL would be quite the insult. And yes, Marimo is doing Yuuko a favor by going over to train her Personal Honor Guard. Probably assisted with the blackmail of a few pictures...
