*Note, in the British Army, the rank of Brigadier is used, and is not considered a General rank.
Useage in the United States
General is a senior officer rank, who holds various similar commanding positions. 'General' is shortened to 'GEN' or 'Gen' in most organized militaries.
South Africa
In South Africa, the rank of General is awarded to the Chief of Staff of the South African Armed Forces.
United Kingdom
In the British Army, a General is a commanding officer (or General Officer Commanding) of a branch of the army. Officers of the rank of General also make up the General Staff, the senior commanding body of the British Army.
The rank of General was also presented to the Commanding Officers of the Special Air Service, Special Forces Support Group, and the Royal Marines for a short period.
United States
In the United States Armed Forces, the rank of General is awarded to Commanders of a Branch of the military, such as the United States Army or United States Training Corps. The Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff also holds this rank.
An exception to this rule, the United States Marine Corps employs the rank of Commandant instead, with the same useage and rank insignia of a full General.
