Generals and commanders, these two represent different concepts in the army. General is a military rank, while commander is a position.
The military ranks of generals are divided into major generals, lieutenant generals and generals, and are the ranks of senior officers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. In the military, a general usually refers to an officer who has been awarded the rank of major general or above, and who has the responsibility of leadership or command in the army.
A commander is the commander of the army to which he belongs, and the rank of this position is determined according to the rank of the unit or unit under his command. For example, the commander of a military division is usually an officer with the rank of full division, the commander of a provincial military district is a major general of the regular army, and the commander of a theater is a general. In different historical periods, the rank of the commander and the corresponding military rank will be different.
In the specific comparison, it should be noted that military ranks and positions do not correspond one-to-one. A general may serve as a commander or in other positions. Similarly, the person who serves as a commander is not necessarily a general, for example, the commander of some bases or units may be a colonel-level officer.
Therefore, it is inaccurate to simply compare "commander or general". In practice, the rank of commanders and generals needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis and cannot be generalized. In the specific position and rank system, commanders and generals have their own unique positions and roles, and they are important parts of our team.
