Military / Defense | | English term or phrase: Flag rank | | He was promoted to Flag rank in november. |
| | | "Flag rank" (naval term) = (US) Army and Air Force => General rank | Explanation:
Greetings.
The term "flag rank" is the equivalent (US) naval term for (US) Army and Air Force term => "General rank."
Use of that descriptor (flag/general rank) (normally cited in an article or news release) customarily means that the officer mentioned had been selected and recently promoted from the rank of Colonel to Brigadier General (one star).
Rarely used thereafter as the officer progesses to higher ranks (with additional stars worn in his insignia).
HTH.
