Lieutenant General


 

Lieutenant General is a military rank used in almost every country in the world. The rank traces its origins to the Middle Ages where the title of Lieutenant General was held by the second in command on the battlefield, normally subordinate to a Captain General.

France

The military of France begins the general ranks with two stars; thus, the French equivalent is a four-star general, which is called Général de corps d'armée ("general of army corps").
