'''Commodore''' {{IPAc-en|k|ə|m|ə|d|r}} (abbreviated as '''CDRE''' or '''CDREPN''') is a [one-star](/source/One-star_rank) commissioned armed senior [officer](/source/Officer_(armed_forces)) rank in the [Pakistan Navy](/source/Pakistan_Navy), and [marines](/source/Pakistan_Marines). It is the fourth-highest rank in [Pakistan armed services](/source/Pakistan_Armed_Forces) with a [NATO](/source/NATO) code of [OF-6](/source/OF-6), it is worn on epaulettes with a one-star insignia, it ranks above [OF-5](/source/OF-5) rank [Captain](/source/Captain) and below [two-star](/source/Two-star_rank) rank [Rear Admiral](/source/Rear_admiral_(Pakistan)). Commodore is equivalent to the rank of [Brigadier](/source/Brigadier) of [Pakistan Army](/source/Pakistan_Army) and [Air Commodore](/source/Air_Commodore) of the [Pakistan Air Force](/source/Pakistan_Air_Force). A Pakistani Commodore rank may be abbreviated as '''CDREPN''' to distinguish it from the [same ranks](/source/Commodore_(rank)) offered in other countries, although there is no official abbreviation available for a Pakistani commodore. 

[Commodore (rank)](/source/Commodore_(rank)) in the Pakistan Navy is not authorised to have a [flag lieutenant](/source/flag_lieutenant) as it is not an Admiral rank. Commodore rank is only considered as the most junior of the flag officer rank when commanding senior military appointments (typically of 1 star level), principle staff commands (as acting if higher rank typically of 2 or 3 star temporarily not present or available), operational and type commands (typically of 1 star level) in Pakistan Navy.
