General

A General is an officer of high military rank, usually in the army, and in some nations, the air force.[1] The term is widely used by many nations of the world, and when a country uses a different term, there is an equivalent title given. The term General is used in two ways: as the generic title for all grades of general officer; and as a specific rank. Since the late twentieth century, the rank of General is usually the highest active rank of a military not at war.

In terms of authority in relation to other ranks, a General is the equivilant to an Air Marshall in the Air Force or an Admiral in navies and space patrol units.
