Brigadier General is a fairly high military rank in the U.S. Army, second only to general, and usually holds high-ranking positions such as fleet commander or theater commander. And in the squadron, the rank corresponding to the brigadier general is major general. Although the duties and status of the two differ, both are high-ranking officers in their respective armies.
Historically, the rank system of the squadron has undergone many changes. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the squadron began to adopt a new military rank system, in which the rank of major general is divided into two levels, the first major general and the second major general. The first-level major general is equivalent to the deputy cadres of ** ministries and commissions, the prefecture-level cadres managed by ** ministries and commissions, the party committees of provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, and the deputy positions and secretaries-general of **4 sets of teams; The second major general is equivalent to the deputy commander level of the army; Brigadier generals are generally colonels or colonels.
With the development and modernization of the squadron, the military rank system is also constantly adjusted and improved. At present, the rank of major general in the squadron is divided into the first and second grades, which is equivalent to the deputy cadres of the first ministry and commission, the party committees of the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, the deputy positions and secretary general of the four sets of teams, and the deputy army commander-level army; Brigadier generals, on the other hand, are generally colonels and belong to cadres at the level of full divisions.
Generally speaking, brigadier generals and major generals are high-ranking officers in their respective national armies and have high status and responsibilities. Although the military rank system is different, both play an important role in the military of their respective countries.
