General (United Kingdom)
General
(or
full general
to distinguish it from the lower
general officer
ranks) is the highest rank currently achievable by professional officers of the
British Army
. The rank can also be held by
Royal Marines
officers in tri-service posts. It ranks above
lieutenant-general
and, in the Army, is subordinate to the rank of
field marshal
, which is now only awarded as an honorary rank. The rank of general has a NATO-code of
OF-9
, and is a
four-star rank
. It is equivalent to a
full admiral
in the
Royal Navy
or an
air chief marshal
in the
Royal Air Force
.
