Details
Brigadier General is the lowest ranking General Officer in some countries, usually sitting between the ranks of Colonel and Major General. The rank can be traced back to the militaries of Europe where a brigadier general, or simply a brigadier, would command a brigade in the field. The rank spread throughout the world after being adopted in the 18th century by the United States with simultaneous spreading of the rank by the British Empire. The alternative rank of "Brigade general" was first used in the French revolutionary armies, and was used in British and Commonwealth armies in the first quarter of the 20th century. In the Commonwealth of Nations the equivalent rank for most of the last century has normally been Brigadier, while many other countries use the rank of brigade general. A few countries use Major General as the equivalent of Brigadier General, rather than as the rank above; these are countries which then generally use a rank of Colonel General to make four general officer ranks. The naval equivalent is often Commodore or Rear admiral, but this depends on the rank system of the navy in question.
