I was just doing some thinking.... does a private in the army have to stand at parade rest for like a NCO in the Air Force / other branches? Also lets say a Air Force NCO tries to smoke a private in the army can that Air Force NCO (or other branch) do so?

General military authority applies to all branches. Just like you salute officers of all branches

As MP's at Walter Reed (in D.C.) we would salute police officers of rank - Lieutenants and up. We would address D.C. police officers by rank as well. We CERTAINLY treated ALL military branch NCO's and Officers just like we would Army personnel. No, when stopping any of them for traffic or other violations, while VERY respectful, we did not assume an at-ease or attention position - always used police tactics (stance) which proved appropriate when I nabbed an Army Major for carrying a loaded handgun on base; compounded by no carry permit. Even he was treated with the utmost, though cautious respect, even when placing him in hand irons.

SSG Bill McCoy - jacked up the base commander at Grand Forks ND for getting too close to the WSA. All respect paid to his rank, full Colonel. Yes sir. Thank you sir. You are in the wrong sir.

If you can translate their rank from their insignia. Served with some field grade African Officers that in dress uniform you would have thought they were the General of the entire army instead of LT or CPT. Noticed the same kind of thing with some of the Central America Allied Officers.

Yes, you do. Provide the same customs and courtesies to NCOs and Officers of other branches that you would for the Army. As for an Air Force NCO smoking an Army Private....sweet Baby Yoda....you know how bad someone has to screw up for an AF NCO to smoke them?
